Case 2. Cartridge is loaded and seated and tape is threaded
Follow these steps if the cartridge is loaded and seated, and the tape is entirely or
partially threaded into the drive. You will need a small, flat-blade screw driver and an
M2 hex-head screw driver. Figure 13 shows key components of the drive mechanism
that are referred to in the text below.
Note.
Do not touch any part of the drive mechanism except for the components
specified in the instructions.

1. Make sure the head assembly is in the lowered position by turning the lead
screw (shown in Figure 14) clockwise with the flat blade screwdriver. This is
necessary to allow the load arm to clear the head assembly when it is moved
back toward the cartridge.
