As the leader pin is secured in the cartridge, you should hear the leader pin
retention spring clips click into place. If you do not hear the click, continue
rolling until the threader intermediate gear (

in Figure E-12) stops. The
LBA is in the correct position.
Note: Be sure to keep tension on the tape as the LBA is drawn into the
cartridge.

until the leader block is in front of the Read/Write head. This moves the LBA
