3.
If necessary, use needle-nose pliers to grasp the end of the leader pin and pull
it out of the cartridge so that you can grip it with your fingers (see
1
in
Figure 32).
Reminder:
The following step requires care. Success depends on your ability to
maintain constant and appropriate tension on the tape while rewinding
it into the cartridge. Apply too much tension and the tape may break;
apply too little tension and the leader pin may fall from the leader
block. Perform the steps slowly and carefully to avoid complications.
4.
While keeping the tape taut with your fingers, rotate the allen wrench
clockwise

to wind the excess tape into the cartridge. Guide the leader pin
toward the cartridge and drop it deep inside the cartridge door; do not attempt
to seat the leader pin. Remove the allen wrench.
Note:
Ensure that the leader pin drops into the opened cartridge door, falls
deeply into the cartridge, and does not jam near the cartridge door. Do
not seat the pin into the cartridge’s clips; this will interfere with the
motion of the leader pin block (you can seat the pin after you have
removed the cartridge from the drive). If the tape did not load because
the leader pin was wedged in the clip area, grasp the leader pin with
needle-nose pliers to free it and drop it into the cartridge.
