Step 8
Remove the plastic sheath from scope by pulling it from the distal end of the endoscope until it is fully detached and the metal trip wire is visible (illustration 6).
Discard the plastic sheath.
Remove the slack in the line using the S-shaped knob by turning away from the scope (illustration 10). Stop turning when the soft proximal end of ligator cap is almost touching the distal end of endoscope.
If desired, apply lubricant to the distal endof the exterior of the endoscope sheath.
Turn the S-shaped knob to take up remaining slack until the white suture is visibly taut.

Line up the arrow on the soft proximal end of the ligator cap with the working channel of the endoscope (illustration 11).
Secure ligator cap to endoscope by twisting or rocking softer proximal end of ligator cap while pushing it onto distal tip of endoscope (illustration 12). The ligator cap should be pushed until tip of endoscope is up againstthe inner rim of ligator cap so no blue bands are in view.
Carefully remove the shrink wrap from the ligator cap by pulling marked tab from the soft end of the cap, without disturbing the ligator bands and threads.
