Post Film Loading for Cameras FED, Zorki

Before loading of the film it is very important to check up landing of your coil (42) on a reel look Pic.8. It is necessary to adjust correct landing of the reception coil which is responsible for normal work of the camera. I offer you two ways of loading of a film.
The first way. It is necessary for you to make the following steps: 1) Make a cut (I do without this procedure) on film and insert its end into the reception coil (42) as shown in Pic.17. 2) On the camera put shutter speeds in position "B" and make release of the shutter and push the button of release (39) until the lever (40) will not be switched in a mode of rewind. As a result of these actions the shutter becomes completely open and you can easily supervise loading of film in the camera. 3) Take the coil in the left hand and charged magazine in the right, and enter film into a cuts as shown in Pic.18, while lowering them in jacks in regular intervals. If magazine does not reach a place, turn the handle of return rewind. That film should be laid on cone, if necessary you can easily correct it by a hand. 4) Put on the lower cover. 5) Return the lever of rewind in the former position, the second curtains should close. If curtains don't move it's enough an easy contact of the work head and it will there and then be closed. 6) Start the mechanism two times, pressing the trigger button (39) after each starting, look whether the mechanism pulls a film smoothly and whether the head of return rewind rotates. If the head does not rotate, it is necessary to check up correctness of the loading a film in a camera. 7) Install "0" on scales of the counter near the index.
The second way. It is necessary for you to make the following steps: 1) Make a scrap on film and insert its end into the reception coil (42) as shown in Pic.17 . 2) Insert a plastic card no more than 0,3 mm width into a crack of the camera. 3) Take the coil in the left hand and charged magazine in the right hand, and as shown in Pic.19 enter film into a cut before a plastic card (film will not fall up on the board (41)), in regular intervals lowering them in jacks. If magazine does not reach a place turn the handle of return rewind. After that remove a card and watch film to be laid on cones. 4) Put on lower cover. 5) Start the mechanism two times, pressing the trigger button, correct the film if necessary.Look whether the mechanism pulls a film smoothly and whether the head of return rewind rotates.If the head does not rotate, it is necessary to check up correctness of the loading a film in a camera 6) Install "0" on scales of the counter near the index.
