* At this time, it is advisable to dismount the film gate pressure pad by sliding the gate to its full forward position and removing the (2) button head screws (Item 4). Use a clean, dry cloth to wipe down all film-bearing surfaces of the gate and trap (Item 14). Replace the pressure pad, slotted end down, after cleaning. This procedure should be performed at least once every day. | * At this time, it is advisable to dismount the film gate pressure pad by sliding the gate to its full forward position and removing the (2) button head screws (Item 4).

* Neutralize the intermittent (or Geneva), make sure the intermittent sprocket is in the center of its travel before threading. See [[Framing]] for more details. Thread the film as illustrated.

See [[Framing]] for more details. Thread the film as illustrated. Thread the intermittent sprocket (Item 9) first and check for correct frame position at the framing aperture (Item 13). When correct, close the intermittent shoe pads (Item 5). Secure the gate by pushing the gate into the trap until the spring-loaded gate latching pin (Item 12) engages. Form two-finger loops above and below the gate as illustrated, and close the pad roller assemblies (Items 2 & 6). | ||
* Rotate the motor flywheel by hand to advance a few frames of film. Run fingers over each sprocket (Items 1, 7 and 9) to insure that the sprocket teeth are centered in the film perforations, and the film is centered between the flanges of the pad rollers. Check again the position of the film in the framing aperture (Item 13). With the intermittent sprocket in its "rest" position, a correct frame image in the framing aperture insures correct frame positioning in the picture aperture (Item 11). Use the framing knob (Item 8) or handle to correct misframes. | * Rotate the motor flywheel by hand to advance a few frames of film.
