RAD 8-to-1 Cassette - Replace Chute
As needed, you can replace the chute on the 8-tube RAD bulk-dispensing cassette.
A spare chute is included in the cassette package.
Use the Philips screwdriver shipped with the MultiFlo FX to remove the chute and
replace it with another:
To reattach the chute, align it on the pins on the tip head and secure it with its two
screws. Tighten each screw half way, rotating between the two before tightening them all
the way.
