Cartridges & ECD Operation

Removing the Shipping Cover from the Cartridge
Cartridges are shipped with a shipping cover in place. Carefully remove these covers before attempting to
load a cartridge into the X26P ECD. Be careful to not allow any body part to be in front of the cartridge. Static
electricity can discharge a cartridge, and injuries have occurred. A cartridge cannot be loaded into the ECD with
the cover in place. Once the cartridge cover is removed, it can be disposed of.
1 Before removing the covers, make sure the front of the cartridge does not point at any body part or at
anyone.
2 Carefully place the cartridge with cover face down (blast door down) onto a stable/solid surface, i.e., a table.
3 Place your index and middle fingers onto the sides of the cartridge where the wedges/electrodes are
located and place your thumbs onto the locking portions of the cover.
4 Push in with your fingers and pull outward with your thumbs and the cartridge will pop upward, releasing
it from the cover.
NOTE: The cartridge may pop upward quickly when the pressure is released from the locking portions of the
cover.
