Step 1

Insert the heatbreak into the Heater Block as illustrated below:


Step 2

Mount the nozzle on the heatbreak using wrench size 8. Grip the heatbreak using pliers.

Make sure the nozzle is firmly mounted to avoid leakage. 


Step 3

Screw the nozzle against the Heater block using wrench size 8.


Step 4

Cut a piece of 2-3mm PTFE tube in a length of 16mm.



Step 5

Insert the PTFE tube (cut in previous step) fully inside the heatbreak.

Step 6

Insert the Setscrew M5x6mm /w hole into the heatbreak using Allen wrench size 2.5. 
The Setscrew should only apply light force onto the PTFE tube, as otherwise you would risk deforming / damaging the PTFE tube.

Step 8

Insert the HS Heater Cartridge Assembly into the Heater block and lock it into position with setscrew M3x2mm using Allen key size 1.5
