How to fill with ink

This product has an ink filling mechanism inside the body, so a spare cartridge or converter cannot be used with it.

1

Turn the knob in the direction of the arrow until it stops and then lower the piston to the bottom. (Handle the pen gently after wipe of ink in the nib with either soft tissue paper or cloth. Ink may spatter if the nib contains sufficient ink.) [Fig.1]
2

Immerse the nib in the ink until its heart-shaped hole is covered and slowly twist the knob clockwise until it stops to draw ink into the pen. (Repeat this step two or three times when the feed tube is dry.) [Fig.2]
3

Turn the knob counterclockwise and put a couple of ink drops back into the bottle. Then turn the knob clockwise again to close it. [Fig.3]

* Hold the pen with the nib pointing upward, then use a soft cloth to remove any excess ink from the nib and neck.
* Be careful not to hit the bottle with the nib point to protect the nib.

Keep the pen out of the reach of children and away from excessive heat, cold, or direct sunlight.
If the pen is not used regularly, drain the ink from it. Then, clean the inside by filling and draining the pen with clean water several times. Then store the pen by replacing the end cap and the main cap.

It is not a quality problem, although the required force to turn the tail plug may change due to the difference in ink colors or the washing conditions.
Some lubricant has been applied to the mechanical parts and the inside of the barrel. It does not affect the quality of the product even though the pen body may look wet or colored lubricant could accumulate around the piston.
To prevent ink stains, keep the cap screwed tightly at all times when not writing. Keep the knob screwed tightly at all times when not filling, emptying, or cleaning the pen.
Changes in air pressure may cause the ink to leak or gush out, so do not use this pen on a plane.

Please be warned that applying chemicals, including solvents such as alcohol, causes cracks or discoloration.
Note that it may not be possible to remove this ink if it accidentally gets on your clothes.
