To attach the leader pin to the tape, refer to Figure D-16 and perform the steps below.
1. Position the tape in the alignment groove of the leader pin attach tool (1).
2. Place a new C-clip into the retention groove (2) on the leader pin attachment tool
and make sure that the clip's open side faces up.
3. Place the leader pin that was removed earlier into the cavity (3) of the leader pin
attach tool.
Attention: To prevent the leader pin from rolling into the cartridge, in the following
step use care when folding the tape over the pin.
4. Fold the tape over the leader pin and hold it with your fingers.
Note: Use care to ensure that the tape is centered over the leader pin. Failure to
properly center the tape on the pin will cause the repaired cartridge to fail. When the
tape is properly centered, a 0.25 mm (0.01 in.) gap exists on both sides of the pin.
5. Close the pivot arm (4) of the leader pin attach tool by swinging it over the leader
pin so that the C-clip snaps onto the pin and the tape.
6. Swing the pivot arm open and trim the excess tape (5) so that it is flush with the
reattached leader pin (6).
7. Use your fingers to remove the leader pin from the cavity (3) in the leader pin
attach tool.
8. Use the cartridge manual rewind tool to wind the tape back into the cartridge (wind
the tape clockwise). Ensure that the leader pin is latched by the pin-retaining spring
clips on each end of the leader pin.
9. Remove the rewind tool.
10. Remove the leader pin attach tool by lifting its end up and away from the cartridge.
