3.11Lay the fiber in the track running through the center of the fiber holder. Use the “TIGHT BUFFER” or “SEMI- TIGHT BUFFER” slits as appropriate. Reference section 3.3 to determine which fiber type.
Tight buffer
3.12Move shuttle forward. Leave at least one finger width of buffer extending beyond the nozzle. Hold the buffer at both ends of the fiber holder, pull the fiber straight, and set the fiber in the center tracks. Close the back lid, but don't latch it. Close the front and middle lid.
Semi-tight buffer
3.13Snap the front and middle lids shut. Push the shuttle forward again until it stops.
