CRADLE MOUNT FILM SETUP
FILM THREADING - CRADLE MOUNT
Film threading is very important to achieve proper film
tensioning.
Route the lower film first.
Facing the tension knob side of the machine, the film should
come off the roll counter-clockwise and go in-between the two
rollers it sits on.
Pull film under the tension roller (3) and film guide roller (1),
and up through the film selector rollers.
The black tension knobs (3) can be adjusted for proper tension
on the film by loosening (rotate counter clockwise) or tightening
(rotate clockwise) the knob.
There is a film threading diagram located on the tight side of
the unit.
ADJUSTING FOR DIFFERENT WIDTH FILMS
Squeeze the tensioning devices (4) and slide the white film guides (5) (one on each side of film roll) and secure it near the
film roll on both sides. This will help maintain the roll in the center of the machine.
