13. Lift the lower AutoSeal tip out of the support tube located on top of the air
cylinder shaft (see Figure 5-14).
14. Note the indentation along the top edge of the support tube, where it meets the
lower AutoSeal tip (see Figure 5-14). Insert the tip of a small flathead
screwdriver into the indentation and twist the screwdriver just enough to raise
and loosen the lower AutoSeal tip.
15. Remove the old solvent outlet line. Remove the lower AutoSeal tip from the
outlet line.
16. Screw the lower AutoSeal tip onto the end of the new solvent outlet line
(P/N 059821). While holding the solvent line securely with a 1/4-inch
wrench, use a 3/8-inch open-end wrench to tighten the AutoSeal tip.
17. Reinstall the AutoSeal tip in the support tube on top of the air cylinder.
18. Route the new solvent outlet line through the vertical guide and reinstall the
Phillips screws in the guide.
19. Connect the other end of the new solvent outlet line to the top of the static
valve. Make sure that there is adequate clearance above and below the solvent
line. During operation, the solvent line must be able to move up and down
freely.
