RAD8-to-1 Cassette - Unclog the Tips
Note: Reassembling the 8-to-1 cassette is somewhat challenging. Before resorting to this

cassette. If that fails, proceed with this method.
Disassemble the cassette to unclog the tips:
1. Use the Philips screwdriver provided

three screws on the 8-to-1 cassette's
cover plate.
2. Remove the plate and set it aside.
3. Remove the two screws that hold the
chute on the cassette.
4. Remove the chute and set it aside. This
frees the tips and tubing from the
cassette.
5. Pull the tubing off the tips and follow the instructions to use the 10 cc syringe
