Changing Bag
•Open the film container in the closed changing bag.

•Remove the tape from the film end.
Ensure that the tape is completely removed.
•Stick the tape to the outside of the film container in order to check later that no remains of tape are stuck to the film.
•Close the empty film container and lay the film roll on top of the container to facilitate threading the film. Then place the film roll and the feed slot on the same height, ensuring that the film roll feeds in as marked on the magazine.
•Slide back the guide roller arm until it clicks in the open position - do not pull the guide roller arm upwards.
Loading the Film, Feed Side
•Feel for the opening for threading.
•Guide the film head into the opening and carefully push it further into the opening. Simultaneously feel on the gear when the film engages with the internal sprocket.
•Be sure thast dual perforations is correctly loaded (emulsion side inward, B winding).
•Carefully turn the gear further in the direction of the arrow (clockwise) until the film emerges from the magazine throat.
•Pull some of the film out of the magazine throat.
If the film cannot be loaded at the first at- tempt, cut off a piece of film and try again. Never use force!
Attaching the Film Roll
•Hold the film roll over the center of the shaft.
•Place the film on the shaft and push the core as far as it will go onto the core adapter, without pressing on the film. The film will otherwise become conical and cause noise during operation.
•The spring on the core adapter can be locked into the groove in the film core by turning the film core on the core adapter.
•Ensure that the film core is locked in place.
•Carefully place the guide roller arm on the film roll.
•Ensure that the guide roller is centered and guides the film roll on both sides.
