16. Insert the appropriate size tungsten wire into the needle to open a path through the end of
the needle. Do not force the wire through the needle. If there is a hard plug, proceed as follows:
a. Use the drill bit supplied in the cleaning kit to remove the plug by gently rotating the bit by
hand, being careful not to run the bit all the way through the needle.
CAUTION!
b. Once you have removed most of the material with the drill bit, try again to push the tungsten
wire through the needle.
c. If the wire still does not go through the needle, try again with the drill bit until you can get the
wire all the way through the needle.
NOTE
17. Once you have cleared a path through the needle, flush the needle with cleaning solvent until a
clear stream of solvent flows from the end of the needle.
If necessary, use a small bottle brush to remove residual fluid. Rotating the bottle brush
counterclockwise while slowly inserting it into the needle will pull out any residual fluid.
