Safe steps to clear a clog
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Warm the cart gently in a pocket — never open flame. |
| 2 | Clear the mouthpiece carefully without sharp tools that damage seals. |
| 3 | Reseat on a fully charged battery; start mid heat. |
| 4 | Take slow pulls; avoid rapid chain hits. |
| 5 | If airflow stays blocked, stop and Validate. |
Do not flush with solvents or household chemicals.

When it’s not a clog

Frequently asked questions
Why does my cart taste burnt after a clog?
Often overheating. Drop heat, check fill level, and reseat.
Can leftover oil cause clogs?
Thick oil near empty can feel clogged — don’t force high heat.
Should I buy a “fix kit” online?
Prefer licensed support after Validate. Unverified kits risk damage.
