As the barrels were closed at the rear end, immediately after each shot these were cleaned with a sponge at the end of a pole which was introduced three times to extinguish all sparks and cool the barrel. This was also to cool the barrel to avoid the new charge igniting prematurely with fatal results.

El cañón que iba cerrado por su extremo posterior, inmediatamente después del disparo se limpiaba con una esponja al extremo de un atacador que se introducía tres veces para apagar todas las chispas y enfriar el tubo para que al cargarlo no se produjese el encendido de la nueva carga involuntariamente.
