Gently loosen the top seal, either by prodding it using thumb nail (see Figure 9)
or use a wide blade flat screw driver to lever it up. When using a screw driver,
insert the screw driver into the slot as shown in Figure 10, maintaining an up-
down action to lever the seal loose. Repeat the action on the opposite slot.
The seal should be dislodged from the torch body.
