without the tip) as far as it will go. Notice that the tailpipe must be oriented down.

convenient lift-out tab to facilitate removal.

Liner when full, you should periodically
scrape any solder or resin from the inside
of the upper half of the handle in the area
around the Cartridge tailpipe.
3. Apply a layer of silicone grease to the
surface after it is scraped clean. Check
that the chamber seal surface is clean
before closing the handle.

ELECTRONIC CONNECTIONS AND SHOULD BE USED
WITH CARE AROUND ELECTRONIC PARTS.
4. Two cleaning brushes are included with
your system. Use these with Isopropyl
Alcohol or detergent to clean flux and
solder residue from the chamber and
cartridge seals.
