CAUTION: Depending on the product, the vacuum system may require the valve plate (6) to be rotated to an orientation
different from the one shown. When removing the valve plate, always take note of its orientation in the pump head (2), and
install the valve plate the same way during reassembly. In all cases, the valve plate must be oriented so that its intake hole is
matched with the head port that connects to the check valve.
