After filling the pen, the reservoir must be pressurized. Loss of pressure may
result in the pen not writing. Whenever you replace the pen and ink cartridge,
clean the inside of the pen holder with a pipe cleaner.

1. Unscrew the pen retaining cap.
2. Twist the ink cartridge one quarter turn counterclockwise.
3. Lift the pen and ink assembly out of the pen holder.
An AccuPlot Longlife Pen kit is available from GGT. This kit includes three
pen cartridge/ink reservoir assemblies and one syringe. The syringe is used to
pressurize, or activate, the pen cartridge. Activating the cartridge starts the ink
flow through the assembly. The syringe provided may be used to activate all
three cartridges.
NOTE:
NOTE: Repeated use of the syringe may cause wear between the plunger and the
inner surface of the syringe tube. Use of the syringe to activate more than three
cartridges is not recommended.
