Figure 25).

in Figure 25).
Attention: In the next step, do not let the leader-pin block touch the head.
Damage may result to the head.
6. Insert a 2.5-mm allen wrench into the access hole and position the wrench so
that it is seated in the screw of the supply reel motor (the screw is not visible).
7. With clean needle-nose pliers, grasp the end of the leader pin and pull it out of
the cartridge so that you can grip it with your fingers (see
2
in Figure 25).
8. While keeping the tape taut with your fingers, rotate the allen wrench clockwise

to wind the excess tape into the cartridge. Guide the leader pin toward the
cartridge and drop it inside the cartridge door. Ensure that no tape is left
outside of the cartridge. Remove the allen wrench.
Note: Do not attempt to seat the leader pin into the cartridge’s clips; this will
interfere with the motion of the leader-pin block.
