Connect the negative line to the narrow blade on the plug and the positive to the round pin. The valve
will be in the closed position. To open the valve, jumper a wire from the round plug to the wide blade. If
the valve doesn't operate, check that the wiring in the plug hasn't been changed. Open the plug and check
the green wire which should go to the green screw, black wire to brass screw, and white wire to silver
screw.
The drive cable can be replaced with the valve in the bucket but, if you are doing other maintenance work
on the valve, it will be easier to change the cable outside the bucket.
