Make sure the vacuum sealer is unplugged and powered off.

1. Start at one end and pull up existing seal tape out of side slot. 
2. Remove tape completely to expose seal wire underneath.
3. Unscrew one side with Philips to pop off seal wire.
4. Take flat blade screwdriver and lodge behind opposite side screw to hold due to tension rod.
5. Unscrew that side with Philips to remove seal wire completely.
6. Lodge flat blade behind tension rod to hold where screw will go back in place.
7. Place new seal wire, replace and tighten screws on both sides.
8. Start to peel off yellow backing on new seal tape.
9. With about an inch exposed, slip tape into side slot.
10. Slowly work across, peeling off backing, and pressing tape onto middle of seal wire.
