To replace the needle in the seal pack:
1. With the seal pack removed from the injector, lubricate the tip of the
injector needle with 100% alcohol.
2. Align the needle port with the scallop located on the underside of the
seal pack, before sliding the seal pack onto the needle (see the figure
“Align the needle port:” on page 214).
Tip: If you orient the needle port 1/8 inch to the left of the scallop, it
should align with the scallop when you tighten the compression screw.
Align the needle port:
Caution: To prevent damaging the needle, hold the needle only by
its end opposite the tip (needle port end). Use a clean wipe with
100% alcohol to clean the needle after installation.
