PK Series Manual (English, 2005) - Forgotten Weapons

In order to prepare the link belt loader for use, it is necessary to do the following:
1) Remove the loader parts from the box.
2) Fasten the handle with the locking device.
3) Set up the base and fasten it to a table or to the side of the loader.
4) Set up the link belt feed.
5) Fill the basket with cartridges so that they lie across the width of the basket.
6) Lift the lid of the receptacle and insert the link belt with the cutouts on the links
facing downward.
7) Insert a cartridge into the first link by hand and place the link belt with the
cartridge opposite the feed; close the receptacle lid (see figure 6-16).
Figure 6-16. Link Belt Loader Prepared for Use
In order to load the link belt with cartridges turn the handle clockwise with your right
hand at an even speed and add ammunition to the basket with your left hand so that it
lies across the width of the basket. When loading the link belt, attention must be paid
that the link belt does not twist. During loading, the cartridges fall by their own weight
into the narrow part of the conduit where the feed mechanism takes hold of them and
pushes them out of the chute. The cartridge is passed forward along the conduit and
then falls onto the bottom from where the feed mechanism aligns it with the link when
the handle is turned around again. When the feeder returns to the rear position, its lever
moves the link belt feeder which presses it into the link belt and moves it by one link.
