How do I break down the vacuum seals of the LC-61 cartridges?

This type does not have a vacuum seal just a small plastic seal that is popped upon insertion of the cartridge.

The printer port that accepts the ink cartridge is designed to pierce the seal as it is being installed. This is why installing in one fluid push is important. Many people who report leaks are causing the leaks themselves by partially inserting or inserting and pulling back out. Once the seal is punctured, leave the thing in.

Feel at the bottom of the left hand butt cover and lift the cover off. Unscrew the winged bolt at the bottom quite a long way. Then the cartridge should just fall out. If it doesn't, put two fingers at the top of the cartridge and just pull it downwards. Put the new cartridge in the same way round and then screw up the winged bolt until a little resistance is felt. Then screw it quickly up to a fairly heavy finger tightness. Clip on the butt cover and you then are ready to kill a few tin cans. Good luck.

The bags have a special contraption on them where the tip of the vacuum is placed. The bags are zipped tightly (like a ziplock only way better), and then you put the tip of the vacuum on the seal spot and hold the trigger until it is sealed. The bags are reusable, washable, boilable, etc., and cost about $1/bag on Amazon for the smaller size.

Found two things that help. First, poor design all around. So, be sure to use plenty of oil on the tip of the cartridge. Hoppes No. 9 works well. Second, I drilled a hole in the tightening 'thingy' and put a key ring loop through it. Keeps it from collapsing and gives you more to hold onto when twisting it tight. Hope this helps.

Turn the Xyron 150 upside down; squeeze too tabs; pull the empty cartridge out; slide the refill until it clicks and you're done!

NO, The sealing strip cannot be replaced, if it goes bad it cannot be repaired, throw away and buy a new sealer. If you're having trouble vacuuming , the vacuum chamber gaskets can be replaced but before replacing try soaking in warm water with small amount of dish detergent for about 20 minutes , then rinse with warm water and pat dry.

The way this works is by suction make sure the gun is setup correctly have the long hose connected to the jar that stores the fluid under the jar lid place the small hose it comes with which prevents fluid leaking back out then shut the lid of the jar and connect another small hose it comes with to the other top and connect the gun through that . I have had no problem also try creating a seal by pressing firmly on the fitting where your sucking the break fluid from

The first time I used the Mastrad it distorted the seal & gas escaped. I discovered that I hadn't screwed the cap on all the way. The seal should not be visible when it is tightened & actually continues to rotate 1-2 more times before it is truly sealed. Then before i put the cartridge on I press the release valve in go make sure it is not stuck. Make sure not to cross thread the cartridge holder. After gassing I leave the cartridge in place, shake the canister & put it in the fridge for several hours. When ready don't try to open it until you press the pressure release valve until no more gas escapes. Then open the lid & replace it with the storage cap. If this doesn't help then I suggest you contact Mastrad. Oh yeah, use the white funnel provided to fill & only fill until the liquid touches the bottom of the funnel.

No; set of four cartridges sealed in plastic bag. Ask manufacturer about shelf-life

Take out the ink cartridge, and put duct tape or electrical tape over the empty clear ink box .. Then put it back in

When empty just unscrew silver from black. Then pull the converter strait out. Center the cartridge and push in hard to get the cartridge to seat.

I have left a half full cartridge in mine up to five days or so. I really think they are talking about leaving a cartridge in the gun like two or three months. The oil droplet would get old and collect dust and the seal would be compressed for that long. It all adds up to a nice tight seal for greater shot powder. They are too much fun to leave that long anyway with out use.

Insert each cartridge slanted towards the front and press there before rocking it down pressing in the back. I used to have the same problem. It doesn't seem to matter what order you put them in, ex. you can replace any of them without removing any.

Put some light gun oil on the co2 cartridge seal before installing this will provide a better seal. Look at the extra products offered on Amazon for bb and pellet gun. Use only one drop on the seal!

I had the same problem because my cartridges were all dried up...too old. Here is how I revived them and was, quite frankly, amazed they came back. First, I put about 1/2" of 91% rubbing alcohol in a plastic tub (like a butter tub or a cottage cheese tub). I set the cartridges in this alcohol for a day...just let them soak. I then rubbed them clean with a soft sponge and let them soak a little more. --an hour or so...then took them out and put the holes side to a vacuum cleaner hose with the vacuum on full blast. Hold the cartridge in your hand, make like a fist around it and suck the cartridge. This pulls the goop out of the holes. Now, fill the cartridge as per instructions and put them back int eh printer and run the print had cleaner several times. If you are still getting crappy prints, do a short soak in the alcohol about five minutes and then vacuum again and repeat the head cleaner cycle. This should do the trick. If not, your cartridges are too far gone. What pleased me about the kit is, my cartridges have never performed as well or printed so long. The kit provides enough stuff to refill them dozens of times. Also, never let your cartridges go very long without color printing or b&w printing..about a week at most. They can dry out and this is what kills a lot of cartridges. Even if you have to go ahead and buy a new set of cartridges, the kit is well worth it. You will see with your first refilling. If you take care of your cartridges, and refill them at the first sign they are getting weak, I can bet you will never again pay $35.00 or $50.00 for a stupid cartridge set that only lasts ten weeks.
