that the teeth of the locking ring will fit into the grooves on the end of the tool.
4. Push the ion source cartridge up into the barrel of the tool and twist it until the engraved
lines are aligned. The ion source cartridge should easily slide into place with very little
force.

CAUTION INSTRUMENT DAMAGE:
If you push the ion source cartridge into the barrel
and it will not slide easily into position, make sure the components are assembled correctly
and have not slid out of place inside the sleeve. Using too much force when inserting the
ion source cartridge into the barrel can cause damage.
