1) Remove old grip from valve body 

by inserting a 5/16" ball-point hex 
driver into the bottom of the grip 
and unscrewing the mounting screw.

2) Remove the mounting screw, washer,

grip, and spacer. 

3) Wipe the screw thread clean to remove

any debris. 

4) Place the washer on the clean screw 

and insert the screw into the bottom 
of the new pistol grip so that it protrudes 
through the hole in the middle.

5) Place the spacer on top of the new grip 

so that the screw protrudes through the 
hole in that as well.

6) Place enough adhesive on the threads 

of the mounting screw so that the first 
five threads are 'wetted' with adhesive.

7) Place the new grip assembly on the 

nozzle valve body and thread the 
mounting screw into the screw hole 
in the valve body.

8) Tighten the mounting screw to a

maximum torque of 100 in/lbs.
