2. Set the drive on its left side with the head and tape path facing up.
3. From the bottom of the drive, locate the access hole ( 1 in Figure A-15).
4. Insert a 2.5 mm offset hex wrench through the bottom cover access hole and
into the reel motor axle. Begin spooling the tape back into the cartridge by
turning the hex wrench clockwise.
5. Continue spooling into the cartridge until the tape is taut and remains within
the flanges of the tape guiding rollers. Ensure that you do not stretch the tape.
6. Locate the threader motor worm gear ( 4 in Figure A-16 on page A-17) on
the rear of the drive. Use your finger to rotate the treader motor worm gear
and slowly rotate the threader mechanism gear ( 6 in Figure A-16 on page
A-17) clockwise. This rotates the threader motor worm gear ( 4 in
Figure A-16 on page A-17) clockwise, drawing the LBA into the cartridge.
