Holding the body with your hand
apply one drop of Locktite 4013 to
the threads of body (13) before
installing the end cap (22). Quickly
mate the end cap (22) to the main
body seating the threads properly.
Grasp the body with one hand and
turn the cap with the other in a
clockwise direction until snug.

To secure the End-cap (22) insert
one LP tightening bar into LP port
of the end cap and one HP
tightening bar into a HP port. The
end cap only needs a firm hand
tight force, do not over-tighten in a
vise. Refer to
Figure. 5-t
NOTE
Make certain the Tightening Bars are firmly seated into both plugs (23) & (10) before
attempting to rotate the end cap (22) in a counterclockwise direction.

Examine the condition of the HP seat
looking for scratches, cuts, dings or
dents near the diameter of the piston
stem. DO NOT attempt to use the
seat if any of these conditions are
found. See Section 3.0 for important
guidelines. Install the new HP seat
(8) into the HP seat retainer (9), then
into the body (13) ensuring that it
bottoms out.
