Remove Shipping Cap (P/N 12862) & Cap Asy (P/N 15143) from top of Agent Cylinder Valve.
These parts will not be used (See Figure 1).

Verify that the tapered end of the stainless steel piston is loosely captive at bottom of Electric
Control Head.
3.
Slide Retainer Nut (P/N 13595) over Electric Control Head & secure on top of Agent Cylinder
Valve as shown and tighten fully.
4.
Install Linear Actuator (P/N 24448) and tighten hand tight. Do not over tighten.
Do not use PTFE
