Pentacon PENTAFLEX AK16, Operation Manual

Page: 10 / 18

For this purpose, the two pressure
pads (7) are pressed against one
another by light pressure until they
engage. As a result, the two tooth
drums (8) are released for inserting
the film. At the same time, the
toothed disc (9) of the counter-
platform (10) is moved to the right
with simultaneous pivoting inwards
until it engages. When inserting the
film, the perforation must be pushed
into the teeth. By pushing the two
knobs (11), the runners (7) rest
against the tooth drums and
guarantee a firm fit of the film
perforation in the teeth. The counter
platform (10) is pivoted outwards into
the working position with one finger.
With slight fingertip pressure on the
detent button (13), at the same time,
(14), the correct loop size (picture 10)
is set, whereby it must be noted that
the stop pin penetrates through the
perforation and becomes visible in
the hole (15).
