KEEP THE SPREADER CLEAN
The developer spreader is the most important part
of your camera. It must be kept clean, or you won't
get good pictures . Signs that the spreader must be
cleaned are: a yellow tab does not pop out wh en a
white tab is pulled; or, there are developer che mi·
cals on the back of a picture.
1. Remove the spreader: Use two hands and lift
both steel loops (A) together. They are held by
springs. The spreader will come out of the camera.
Handle it carefully! If you drop it, twist it, or other -
wise
handle it roughly , some of the parts may get
bent and you will be unable to get good pictures.
The camera will th en have to go to a Polaroid
repair station.
2. Open the spreader bars: Turn the spreader
over so you see THIS SIDE DOWN . Lift the fiat
lever (B) marked LIFT TO OPEN. This opens the
spreader bars (C).

washed as soon
as possible .
