PREPARING THE SCREEN CASSETTE 

Insert 

F-End Cap with Spring

 into the correct end of the

Assembly [Fig 2A]

line up the spring and bushing notches with one of the small slots in the center 
screen tube. Wind the spring clockwise the number of turns designated in the fol-
lowing chart and push the

 in place on the

sette Assembly

lower the screen by using the 

G-End Cap with Operating Wand

.
