Collapsible core:
•Slide the film head into the opening of the collapsible core. The film head should be pushed a little past the metal tongue of the clamp lever. If the film head is pushed to far into the collapsible core, unwanted noise may be heard.
•Lock the clamp lever. Ensure that the film is clamped straight and at the right height. If the film is clamped at a slant or too high in the collapsible core, un- wanted noise may be heard.
Core holder:
•Place the core adapter on the film core, paying attention to the direction of the slot (picture left).
•Place the film head in the slot.
•With a fingernail, smooth out the film where it emerges to avoid uneven movement of the guide roller arm.
•Feed with the gear approximately 5 revolutions clockwise until the film is sitting securely.
The film can be secured on the core holder or the clamp core before placing this on the shaft.
Final Tasks
•Carefully place the guide roller arm on the film roll.
•Ensure that the guide roller is centered, and guides the film on both sides.
•Carefully tighten the film between the clamp core and the gear: hold the gear firmly and turn the core holder further.
•Clamp core: turn the gear by hand a few revolutions further. Loosen the clamp on the clamp core. Carefully push on the film reel to ensure that the film reel is sitting at the correct height. Retighten the clamp.
•Turn the gear a few revolutions further by hand, checking the even movement of the guide roller arm.
•If using
•Close and lock the magazine cover.
•Ensure that the magazine cover is closed and locked.
•Check the counter on the magazine. The white indicator must be visible, otherwise the guide roller arm is not locked. The counter now shows the amount of unexposed film on the feed side.
•Hang the film loop between the 4 guide pins (2 shaped as claws).
•Center the film loop in the direction it will run.
•Attach the loop protector.
