Remarks The pen features a double-action stopper designed to prevent a messy withdrawal of the end cap section. It provides a certain amount of resistance (stopper) when pulling the end cap. If the end cap is pulled past the stopper while there is still ink in the barrel, it cannot be pushed back in until the ink inside the barrel has been disposed of.

• Remove the cap of the fountain pen and hold the nib tip upward. Slowly loosen the screw on the end cap by turning it in the direction of the arrow. Then, slowly unscrew the end cap.
