the lower end fitting. Hold the inlet (lower) float stop in position when
removing the tube. When the tube is clear of the lower end fitting pull out
on it until you can remove it from the upper end fitting.

then remove the end fittings and their clamps.
5. Drill four 5/16 holes in the body casting at the cast-in drill marks.
6. Reinstall the end fittings and their clamps. Align horizontal end fittings
with the piping before tightening the clamp bolts to 95 inch-pounds (10.7
Newton Meter).

allow the float to fall out of the metering tube. Insure that the plastic tube
retainer is pulled all the way out. Refer to Figure 1-3 to insure that the
orientation of the float is correct and that the inlet and outlet float stops
are in position.
