v To move the supply reel motor:
a. On the bottom of the drive, locate the hole marked UNLOAD ( 1 in
Figure 17) and cut the seal above the hole.
b. Insert a non-metallic probe (such as the wooden end of a swab)
approximately 0.64 cm (0.25 in.) into the UNLOAD hole and position it so
that it rests on the inner flange 2 .
c. Gently push the flange with the probe in the direction marked on the
drive (clockwise).
d. Repeat the preceding step until there is no slack in the tape. This may
take many motions to retract all of the tape. Perform this motion until
you feel a definite tightening in the flange tension.
