Failure to do so may prevent the cap being securely
located in the spoolholder.

in the spoolholder, then press down into the locked
position.
3. Ensure the two cap release latches are clearly visible
and are fully engaged with the windows in the spool-
holder.

remove it without depressing the two latches.
