''''' | # Check the sticker on the front of the cabinet to see what media is loaded. If it's not what you need, proceed to step 2. | ||
# Make sure the bucket labeled with the same media as what's in the cabinet is empty, clean and dry. | |||
# Place the bucket under the hopper at the bottom of the cabinet. | |||
# Pull down on the door, it's on a heavy spring and will snap back, you have to hold it. The media will fall into the bucket. | |||
# Make sure the cabinet is free as possible of the old media, mixing and matching media is a no-no. | |||
# Remove the bucket from under the cabinet. ''It will be quite heavy.'' | |||
# Put the lid on the bucket! | |||
# Find the bucket of media you want to use, open doors to the cabinet and pour the contents into the cabinet via the grate. | |||
# '''''Label what media is currently loaded, the date, and who loaded it.''''' | |||
# Check the floor and clean up any spilled media. This stuff can be ''very'' slippery, and the person most likely to fall will be you. | |||
# Enjoy! | |||
