Maintaining the Spectra Optia System
Reassembling the sealer head
1
Ensure that the spring is in place in the head.
2
Locate the grooves on both sides of the head. Align the jaw with the grooves and slide it down the sealer head
until it touches the spring (Figure 17-6). Ensure that the spring fits into the indentation in the jaw.

Aligning the jaw with the grooves
3
Use your thumb to slightly depress the jaw. Ensure that the spring stays in place.
4
Replace the lever by tipping it at a 45° angle and positioning the lever pivots behind and below the pivot
slots (Figure 17-7).

the position of the spring.

Attach a new splash guard, if required, according to the instructions “Attaching a new splash guard” below.
