4. Insert the stack of consumable parts into the cartridge. Ensure that the large O-ring on the torch tip fits completely into
the cartridge. If any part of the O-ring protrudes from the cartridge, the parts are not seated properly.
5. Use the cartridge tool to hold the cartridge assembly, while turning the shield cup (and shield retainer for 200 Amp parts)
onto the cartridge assembly. For 300 Amp parts turn the shield retainer onto the shield cup now. When this group is
fully assembled, the shield should protrude from the front of the shield cup or shield retainer. Without this protrusion
the shield cup is not properly tightened onto the cartridge assembly.
6. Take the cartridge tool off the cartridge. Fit the cartridge assembly onto the torch head. The Speed Lok ring should click
into place and the cartridge assembly should touch the large O-ring on the torch body.
