Manually Operating the
Magazine
2
The following section describes how to operate a magazine.
There are two knobs located on each end of the magazine. You can move
the slots within the magazine by turning these two knobs and aligning a
slot with one of the two openings. You can use the openings in the
magazine to load and unload cartridges from the eight slots within each
magazine.
Caution:
Be careful not to turn the knob on the side of the
magazine while the magazine is partially inserted into
the autoloader. Doing so may cause damage to the
magazine or the autoloader.
Note:
It is recommended that you fully remove the magazine to
load and unload cartridges. If the magazine is not fully
removed, do not rotate the magazine.
