1. Pull out tape from the takeup reel.
Note: If there is more than approximately 0.6 m (2 ft.) of tape on the takeup
reel, go to “Tape Broken in Mid-tape” on page E-9.
2. If there is less than approximately 0.6 m (2 ft.) of tape on the takeup reel, cut
off the excess tape as close to the leader pin, as possible.
3. Reattach the leader pin to the remaining tape. For instructions, see
Appendix D, “Repairing a Cartridge,” on page D-1.
4. Locate the threader intermediate gear (
1
in Figure E-7) near the rear of the
drive. You can use your finger to rotate the threader intermediate gear (
1
in
Figure E-7) and slowly rotate the threader mechanism gear (
2
in Figure E-7)
clockwise.
This draws the tape leader block assembly (LBA) into the cartridge.
5. As the leader pin is secured in the cartridge, you should hear the leader pin
retention spring clips click into place. If you do not hear the click, continue
rolling until the threader intermediate gear (
1
in Figure E-7) stops. The LBA
is in the correct position.
Note: Be sure to keep tension on the tape as the LBA is drawn into the
cartridge.
6. Rotate the loader motor worm gear (
3
in Figure E-7) clockwise as viewed
from the front of the drive until it stops. This releases the LBA leader pin.
7.
Rotate the threader intermediate gear (
1
in Figure E-7) counterclockwise
until the leader block is in front of the Read/Write head. This moves the LBA
