Material cartridges are factory packaged in a box and an anti-static,
moisture-proof bag to preserve shelf life. Material will stay humidity
free inside the cartridge for at least 30 days after opening. Shelf life
is more than one year if the cartridge package remains sealed.
Load material cartridges:
1. Remove packaging.
2. If present, remove the red sealing plug from the cartridge: (see
Figure 9)
Plug must be removed before cartridge can be installed.
A. Turn the plug a quarter turn counter clockwise.
B. Lift up the plug to remove it from the cartridge - discard (or
recycle) the plug.
