Figure E-2 Location of Reel Lock Opening and Spring-Loaded Hub on Bottom
of DLTtape Cartridge
Check the opening indicated in Figure E-2 and ensure that
the small plastic tab is partially visible. This is the second
reel lock. The reel locks can break if the cartridge is dropped.
This may be the cause of any rattling sound you hear when
you gently shake the tape cartridge.
If this reel lock tab is
not visible do not use the cartridge
.
Also located on the bottom of the tape cartridge is the
spring-loaded hub. Verify that the hub is centered within
the circular opening in the tape cartridge. Gently press the
hub and make sure that it springs back into place. Make
sure that it ends up centered within its circular opening.
