• If the leader has retracted into the cassette, use a Film Retriever to pull it back out
• Cut off the leader - between two holes
• Find the two ball bearings on the core, first checking that they are free moving
• Be sure the entry points of the core are opposite each other
• Enter the film and pull it over the ball bearings
• Lead the film onto the spiral for about one inch
• Place the core inside the spiral (THIS IS IMPORTANT)
