from the yellow tubing (see Flow Restrictor Removal, Adjustment,
and Replacement). Reconnect the tubing to the membrane housing.
Place the flow restrictor in a safe location where it will not be acciden-
tally crushed or damaged.
11. Put the yellow concentrate tubing and the blue product
water tubing in the drain and turn on the system water supply.
Allow the system to flush for several minutes to remove any loose
particles.
12. Turn off the water supply to the system. Remove the yellow
tubing from the membrane tubing from the membrane housing
and replace the flow restrictor assembly as described on page 9.
13. Re-insert the flow restrictor end of the yellow tubing into
its push-fitting at the RO membrane and reconnect the yellow con
centrate tubing to the membrane housing.
14. Turn on the water supply to the system and check for leaks. Check,
and if necessary adjust, the Concentrate to Purified Water Ratio per
the procedures described in that section.

7. Re-insert the yellow tubing into its push-fitting in the RO membrane as
follows:
a.) Moisten the O-ring seal inside the concentrate outlet fitting by dripping
a few drops of clean water into the fitting.
b.) Grasp the yellow tubing near the flow restrictor end, and insert the
tubing into the push-fitting. Push the tubing into the fitting until
resistance is felt, approximately 1/2 inch (12.7 mm). The tubing is now
resting on the O-ring seal inside the fitting.
c.) Firmly push the tubing approximately an additional 1/4 inch
(6.35 mm) further into the fitting to completely seat the line into
the fitting and O-ring seal.
8. Turn on the system water supply and check for leaks prior to further
use or testing. If a leak is observed, you may not have pushed the
yellow tubing into the push-fitting far enough to seal the tubing
against the O-ring. Turn off the system water supply and reseat the
tubing as described above.
