To Identify a Slot:
3
Each slot has an identification number that is exposed when the slots are
in the upper section of the magazine. With the magazine removed from
the autoloader, you can see the identification mark on the top side of the
magazine through one of two windows on the upper surface of the
magazine.
Each magazine carrier is labeled 1/9, 2/10, 3/11, and so forth. Lower
numbers 1 - 8 reference slots in the left magazine. Higher numbers 9 - 16
reference slots on the right magazine if the optional right magazine is
installed.
To Load Cartridges into a Fully Ejected Magazine:
3
1
To load cartridges into the magazine, center a slot within one of the
openings located on the side of the magazine.
2
Properly orient the cartridge.
3
Fully insert the cartridge into the slot.
When pushing the cartridge into the slot, you will feel a small
resistance (detente) until the cartridge is properly latched into the
slot. All forward progress stops when the cartridge is fully inserted.
You can remove a cartridge in the same manner as you insert it. Use the
knobs to center the desired slot(s) in the openings on the side of the
magazine. Using your thumb and index finger, pull out the cartridge.
You will feel a small resistance, but continue to pull the cartridge until it
comes free.
To Unload Cartridges from a Fully Ejected Magazine:
3
1
Pull the ejected magazine until the large upper slot is accessible.
2
Rotate the desired slot into position (centered in the opening). Either
load or unload a cartridge to that location. Do not expose more than
the large upper opening when manually operating the magazine.
Note:
There is a keying feature in each slot that only allows you
to fully insert the cartridge one way.
