Preparing for Writing
The pen features a continuous twist mechanism to extend and retract the ballpoint refill. To prepare for writing, twist the upper part of the barrel clockwise until the writing tip is fully extended. To retract, twist counter-clockwise.
Operating Instructions
To begin writing, ensure the ballpoint tip is extended as described in the 'Preparing for Writing' section. Apply gentle, consistent pressure to the writing surface.
Optimal Writing Angle
For the smoothest writing experience and optimal ink flow, hold the pen at a comfortable angle, typically between 45 and 60 degrees to the paper. The medium point type ensures a consistent line.

Maintenance
Cleaning
To maintain the pen's pristine black lacquer and gold finish, wipe it occasionally with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the surface.
Refill Replacement
When the ink runs out, replace the ballpoint refill as follows:
- Gently unscrew the pen barrel counter-clockwise to separate the upper and lower sections of the pen.
- Carefully remove the old ballpoint refill from its housing.
- Insert a new Diplomat standard ballpoint refill, ensuring it is seated correctly and securely.
- Screw the pen barrel sections back together clockwise until they are secure. Do not overtighten, as this may damage the mechanism.
For optimal performance and to preserve your pen's warranty, use only genuine Diplomat ballpoint refills.
Troubleshooting
Ink Not Flowing
- Ensure the refill is properly seated and fully extended.
- Verify that the refill is not empty. Replace if necessary.
- Try writing on a scrap piece of paper with firm pressure to prime the ballpoint and encourage ink flow.
Pen Tip Not Retracting
- Ensure the twist mechanism is fully engaged by twisting the barrel counter-clockwise until the tip is completely retracted.
- Check for any visible obstructions or debris within the twist mechanism that might be preventing full retraction.
