Do not use petroleum-based compounds to clean openings.
Damage to system components can result, causing property
damage.
5. Place rings in port openings. If ring slips out of groove, stretch ring
gently for several seconds, then place in groove.

5½" rod at large port, 5½" rod at small port, bottom long rod and
finally top long rod.

long top rod should be 20-25 ft. lbs. Do not back-off nuts.
10. Metal-to-metal contact should be made around port openings. If gap
does exist, it should be less than .020". Check with feeler gauge.
11. If gap around port openings exceeds .020", check for dirt on port
openings, sockets or misaligned lugs. If corrections are made and gap
still exists, contact your Weil-McLain distributor or sales office before
continuing installation.
