Using Magazines and Magazine Blanks
36 Quantum SuperLoader 3 User’s Guide
Note: It is recommended that you fully remove the magazine to load
and unload cartridges. If the magazine is not fully removed, do
not rotate the magazine.
To Identify a Slot:
Each slot has an identification number that is exposed when the slots
are in the upper section of the magazine. With the magazine removed
from the autoloader, you can see the identification mark on the top side
of the magazine through one of two windows on the upper surface of
the magazine.
Each magazine carrier is labeled 1/9, 2/10, 3/11, and so forth. Lower
numbers 1 - 8 reference slots in the left magazine. Higher numbers 9 -
16 reference slots on the right magazine if the optional right magazine
is installed.
To Load Cartridges into a Fully Ejected Magazine:
1 To load cartridges into the magazine, center a slot within one of the
openings located on the side of the magazine.
2 Properly orient the cartridge.
Note: There is a keying feature in each slot that only allows you to
fully insert the cartridge one way.
3 Fully insert the cartridge into the slot.
When pushing the cartridge into the slot, you will feel a small
resistance (detente) until the cartridge is properly latched into the
slot. All forward progress stops when the cartridge is fully inserted.
You can remove a cartridge in the same manner as you insert it. Use the
knobs to center the desired slot(s) in the openings on the side of the
magazine. Using your thumb and index finger, pull out the cartridge.
You will feel a small resistance, but continue to pull the cartridge until it
comes free.
To Unload Cartridges from a Fully Ejected Magazine:
1 Pull the ejected magazine until the large upper slot is accessible.
