SEPARATING THE INK PIPES AND INK TUBES

1. Loosen the screws securing the ink tubes to the ink pipes, and separate
the tubes from the pipes. The screw and O-rings should remain on the tube
ends.
NOTE: You need one black joint for each tube and pipe connection. If the
replacement tubes do not come with the joints, make sure the
joints stay in the screws on the pipe side.
