11.6. Camera loading
1)
Turn the camera cover locks into ‘O’ position by means of special spanner;
2)
Turn the sprocket (15) (Figure 14) by means of the same spanner so that reg pins came out of the film channel; the
film register’s tail should maximally came out of the guider;
3)
Loose the screw (111) securing the film gate (103) and unscrew the holder (104) and screw (109) by means of the
same spanner;
4)
Take out the holder; after the screw (109) came out of the camera board, screw it on 0.5-2 turns into the claw
mechanism body;
5)
Turn the claw mechanism counterclockwise to make a gap in the film channel enough for loading;
Note. Take care to not drop the claw mechanism out of the camera. It the camera is tilted, it is better to take the claw
mechanism out of the camera.
6)
Unscrew holders of the carriages (85), (86) and pull them from the sprocket;
7)
Mount a mag onto guiding rods of the camera passing the film loop through the film channel and along the film track
as shown on the Figure 36;
8)
Secure the mag by means of the lock (120) (Figure 17);
9)
Put the film’s perforations onto the reg pins and turn the claw mechanism into original position;
10)
Set and screw in the holder (104) (Figure 14), and screws (109) and (111);
11)
Push the carriages toward the sprocket and tight their holders;
12)
Check the film loops length, turning the sprocket counter-clockwise by means of the spanner. The loops should not
touch body of the camera or claw mechanism. Adjust the loops size by changing length of the film between the
sprocket and claw mechanism. This may cause a loose piece of film in front of the mag outlet – turn the take-up lug of
the mag to wind it into the mag. To do this, press the device (129) (Figure 18) and turn it clockwise until film if tight.
13)
Check the speed range setup (24, 48, 96) or (96, 144, 192, 240).
Note. If you need to change the speed range, loose two screws (107) (Figure 16) on 0.5-1 turn by mean of screw-driver, and
turn the bushing (102) (Figure 15) into required direction until stop.
14)
Put the camera cover back and turn it’s locks into ‘3’ position.

11.7. Mounting lenses
1)
Remove rear cap from a lens;
2)
Remove the lens cap out of the camera;
3)
Turn the bayonet ring counter-clockwise until stop and place the lens into the mount, aligning the mount pin with the
lens groove;
4)
Secure the lens turning the bayonet ring (66) (Figure 13) counter-clockwise and tight the locking ring (67).
If vibration supposed during operation, mount a brackets onto 75, 150, 300mm lenses and fast them to the camera.
11.8. Installing viewfinder
1)
Remove the viewfinder port cap;
2)
Install the viewfinder into the mount instead of the claw mechanism, aligning it’s locking screw with the thread in the
board, and secure the viewfinder by this screw.
11.9. Installing collimator sight
1)
Place the sight onto bracket;
