Unclogging the nozzle is a fairly intensive and delicate process and should be done with the help of an ACE. This will cover the overview of the process but make sure to reference the manufacturer's [https://knowledgebase.omax.com/protomax/content/401434/nozzle-clog.htm?tocpath=MANUALS%7COPERATION%20GUIDE%7C_____11 nozzle clog procedure] for the complete process and a video showing it being completed.
