Saturator Wick Removal
6. Insert a small flat-blade screwdriver in the notch at the side of
the wick and pry the wick out as shown in
Figure 8-8. You may
need to use pliers if the wick is soaked with butanol (see
Figure 8-9). Make sure to use as minimal force as possible.
Place the wick in the plastic bag included with the accessories
and seal the bag. This wick can be dried by putting it in a
vacuum for three hours. However, it is not necessary to dry the
wick before putting it back into the saturator block after the
shipment.
7. To install a wick back into the saturator, insert the wick into
the saturator block, orienting it as shown in
Figure 8-10 with
the metal orientation pin at the side of the wick positioned in
the notch to the right.
8. Replace the gasket seal, if necessary, by reinserting it into the
grove and applying vacuum grease on the gasket.
9. Replace the clear plastic plate, making sure the O-ring is
properly seated and not pinched.
10. Tighten the screws with modest torque.
11. Use the Auto-Fill option to refill the reservoir with Butanol. See
“
User Settings” in Chapter 4.
