(2) Inserting the Floppy Disk
1. The floppy disk can be inserted when the front door lever is turned to its
vertical position.
2. With the index label side (front surface) on the left and the head window
away from you, insert the floppy disk into the drive. This is the only way
to insert the floppy disk for proper operation. (See figure below.)
3. Gently push the disk until it stops and turn the front door lever to its
horizontal position. Always make sure to turn the lever to its horizontal
position after inserting a floppy disk. This drive will not operate if the
lever is vertical.

Notes:
1) The lever will not turn if the floppy disk is not completely inserted. Do
not forcibly turn the lever. Instead, properly reinsert the floppy disk
before you turn the lever.
2)' Make sure to turn on the drive before inserting a floppy disk. If the floppy
'disk is inserted while the power is off, the hub hole may become damaged
and errors may be generated.
3) Turn off the power switch after turning the front door lever to its vertical
position. This prevents the contents of the floppy disk from being
destroyed by misoperations at the time of power off.
