Spec says it's auto-load. From what I recall of my own projector, you mount the input film reel on the front 'arm', extending it as necessary to give clearance, switch on the projector, then feed the free end of the film into the appropriate orifice at the front of the projector.
It then takes over, feeds the film through and wraps it around the take-up spool automatically. It may be necessary to cut the end of the leader on a diagonal to feed it in (not each time the film is loaded, just the first time.)
Once the film has fed through, switch on the lamp, focus and enjoy.

Testimonial: "Thank you for your response - but I cannot load the film. I have tried, and it is not catching so I don't know what I am doing wrong. It was my father's, and he passed away. I want to watch some of the movies of us together - maybe I am too emotional or nervous - I used to do it since I bought it for him, but I cannot seem to do it now. Do you have a manual ??"

    I'm afraid I don't - have you tried to Google the manual ? Failing that, there are services who can transfer cine film to DVD, which will give you a far easier way of watching these precious memories, and will also ensure that the film itself can be retained without damage. Very best of luck. Tony

To Tony Parsons = Thank you for your response - but I cannot load the film. I need to find a manual that explains.

The impossible we do immediately - miracles take a little longer ! I did put a comment after your previous query suggesting you search Google for a source of the manual - have you tried that ? It is also possible that someone may have one for sale on Ebay. If neither of these bring success, contacting Bell and Howell themselves explaining the situation is another avenue to explore. If you have a camera store locally (not a retailer who sells modern cameras as a sideline), you could see if there is someone there who could help you, or they may know someone who can. If there is a camera club where you are, their members may be able to help.
Have you tried YouTube for instructional videos on loading cine projectors ? Even if they do not show your exact model, you may glean sufficient information to enable you to work out how to load film into yours,
Good luck again.

I hope this helps.

I have my parents' old Bell & Howell Lumina II Projector and I don't know how to load the reels.

This is a new one! Try finding a manual on the Web, just enter B&H Lumina II Projector manual in Google and someone somewhere should be able to help.
