withdraw the straw.
8. Wipe clean the proximal end of the lead, then insert the proximal
end into the extension connector until it stops and the retention
ring (long ring) is under the setscrew.
Note: • If there appears to be an obstruction, use the torque wrench
to loosen (counterclockwise) the setscrew and/or gently
rotate the lead to help advance the proximal end.
• Ensure that the lead is fully inserted before tightening the
setscrew to prevent lead damage.
