I have found depending where on the layout the loader is located the need to place small shims underneath two of the feet improves operation.  This is really a trial and error method.  I use sheet styrene cut in small squares large enough for one of the mounting points to sit on.  Put a hole in the center for the screw holding the loader to the layout to pass through to keep it in place.  Mostly I have had to shim the end where the barrels are I loaded to - near the workman.  You can also tape the styrene to the layout with friction tape, double sided tape etc if the 362 is held in place with the track clips.

i just moved my 362 to another area of the layout this evening.  In the old location a shim definitely was needed.  In the new location it did not need one.

I have found this accessory to be particularity sensitive and sometimes a challenge to get working consistently and smoothly.

Funny you should mention shims. Last night before I gave up, I placed a wood shim under the end with the man/barrel platform. It sort of worked better, maybe I am going in the right direction. Thanks.
