Procedure
1. With the front of the drive facing you, pull an arm's length of tape out of the take up reel from the left
side of the drive.
Note: If there is less than approximately 5 cm (2 in.) of tape on the take up reel, go to "Full height

2. From the supply reel inside the cartridge, pull approximately 0.3 m (1 ft.) of tape.
3. From the take up reel, thread tape around the rear of the tape path and over the head rollers on the left
side of the drive.
4. Moisten a cotton swab with water, and wet approximately 13 mm (0.5 in.) of the tape end. Overlap the
tape ends, loosely mending them together.
5. Set the drive on its left side with the head and tape path facing up.
6. From the bottom of the drive, locate the access hole
cover. Insert a 2.5 mm offset hex wrench through the bottom cover access hole and into the reel motor
axle. Begin spooling tape back into the cartridge by turning the hex wrench clockwise.
