Quantum SuperLoader 3 User’s Guide

The autoloader will not run unless both magazine openings are properly
closed. One way that you can close the openings is to use two magazines.
If you use only one magazine, then you must fill the other magazine
opening with a magazine blank for the unit to become operational.

Grasp the magazine by the handle with one hand and slide it out,
supporting it underneath with the other hand.
Note:
Magazines, magazine blanks, and magazine handles are not
interchangeable between drive types. Please order the
appropriate part numbers when replacing these items.
Note:
To prevent damage to the autoloader or the magazine, use
both hands when removing the magazine from the
autoloader supporting the entire length of the magazine.
Note:
Once you eject a magazine, you must fully remove it or
fully reinstall it before powering off the autoloader. Before
returning a magazine to the autoloader, manually turn the
wheels on the side of the magazine. If they move freely,
the cartridges are properly seated. If the wheels do not
turn freely, check the cartridges and remove and replace as
needed.
