Half-high Drive: Tape Pulled from or Broken near Leader Pin

a. Loader mechanism gear ( 8 ) nearest the front of the drive that actuates
the cartridge loader mechanism
b. Position of the rotator stub ( 3 ).
c. Front loader motor worm gear ( 1 ). Rotating this gear allows the loader
mechanism gear ( 8 ) to turn.
6. Rotate the loader motor worm gear ( 1 ) to turn the loader mechanism gear
( 6 ) counterclockwise. Continue turning until the rotator stub ( 3 ) loses
contact with the lever ( 7 ). This releases the LBA leader pin.
7. Rotate the threader motor worm gear ( 4 ) to turn the threader mechanism
gear ( 6 ) counterclockwise. This moves the LBA out of the cartridge and past
the read/write head. Stop this rotation when the LBA is near the tape guide
roller nearest the rear of the drive ( 1 ).
8. Continue rotating the loader motor worm gear ( 1 ) until the rotate stub ( 3 )
is positioned as shown. Notice that the rotator stub ( 3 ) is nearly aligned
with the cartridge loader tray guide bearing ( 2 ).
9. Remove the cartridge from the cartridge loader tray.
