Removing the Cartridge Magazine

To remove the cartridge magazine from the ACL, refer to Figure 4-4 and use the

following procedure:

1. Open the ACL magazine door.

The ACL magazine door serves as the front panel of the ACL. The front-panel

assembly swings open to provide access to the magazine compartment. The

DOOR LOCK status indicator LED lights whenever the ACL has disabled the door-

open button on the magazine door. The door locks once the autoloader is set in

motion. This is a safety feature to protect the operator and prevent damage to the

autoloader mechanism.

a. To open the ACL magazine door, first make sure that the DOOR LOCK LED is

unlit. If it is unlit, press the Push Open/Push Close button.

b. To close the ACL magazine door, swing the door shut and press the Push

Open/Push Close button—not the door—to engage the door latch.

2. Push on the face of the carriage (where it is labeled PUSH). The carriage

telescopes out of the ACL, allowing you to lift the magazine out of the carriage.

WARNING. Do not insert your hand inside the ACL for any reason. Doing so could cause

personal injury or damage the autoloader.
