1-  Hold your Distriman in the horizontal position 

with the red flag visible.

2-  Hold the filling-knob at its lower position using 

the thumb of one hand.

3-  Press lightly on the white locking tab (F, page 

10) with a screwdriver.

4-  Move the filling-knob towards the upper position 

to separate it from the assembly.

5-  Pull the assembly out of the Distriman's neck, 

taking care not to lose the small red flag.

6-  Return the filling-knob to the upper position.
7-  Push the new piston retaining assembly into 

the body of the Distriman; at the same time, 
push the filling-knob in the opposite direction 
until they click together.

Replacing the red flag
You cannot remove the red flag (E, page 10) until 
you have separated the filling-knob from the piston 
retaining  assembly.  In  fact,  the  act  of  separating 
these two components will free the flag.

To replace the red flag, the piston retaining assembly 
and filling-knob should be reconnected first. Then, 
with reference to the figure, hold the 
flag with end ‘A’ between the thumb 
and index finger of one hand. With 
end ‘B’ pointing downwards, insert it 
into the access slot. Next, push end 
‘A’  as  far  as  it  will  go  into  the  slot 
using a small screwdriver.

Replacing the Coloris

Do  not  try  to  pry  the  Coloris  away  from  the 
Distriman's body.
1-  Push the filler-knob to the top (closest to the 

push-button).

2-  Use your thumb to push the Coloris to the top. 

Moderate pressure may be required.

3-  Remove the old Coloris and insert the new one 

into the filler-knob slot.
