Insert the Foam Plate into the cavity that the Pressure Plate previously occupied. Depress the
full length of the foam strips with your fingers before inserting, or it won't fit. Be
particularly careful of the very bottom of the foam strips, which are inserted first. Failing to
push the foam down and into the cavity could cause their adhesive to fail. Once Foam Plate
has been safely started, it will typically press all the way in without problem. It is all the way
in when its top is flush with the top of the Rollback shell.

Insert the included Film Crank into the top of the takeup spool. Slowly
and evenly, wind the film by turning in a counterclockwise direction.
The backing paper should advance evenly. It takes some pressure to
advance, but it should not be jammed. If it is, remove the foam plate and
check that the Pressure Plate is properly seated in the center of the opening and that the
backing paper/film is in the proper position. Assuming that the film is advancing, only turn
the crank for about one rotation (slightly more is okay). Optionally, you can advance the film
until the starting arrow becomes visible in the location indicated below. The crucial element
is simply that you ensure that everything is advancing properly, but that you don't wind too
much onto the takeup spool.
