Empty the cartridge using our air release screw (article 711.3408). To do this, slowly and steadily screw the air release screw onto the thread of the cartridge until air can be heard escaping. When no more air is audibly escaping and the pressure gauge shows "0", continue to slowly and completely unscrew the air release screw . Wait approx. 5 seconds after completely unscrewing the air release screw . This ensures that the cartridge is completely empty. Then unscrew air release screw from the cartridge.

If you are not in possession of a air release screw , you can purchase it from your specialist dealer or directly from ANSCHÜTZ GmbH & Co. KG.
