Parts needed for this procedure:

discharge door handle to prevent the spring-loaded
door from closing while you insert the plug.

tunnel opening, rotate the plug clockwise slightly while
inserting it (Figure 6).
Note: Ensure that the arrow on the plug decal points
upward.
3. Push the plug all the way in until the spring clip on the
bottom of the plug clicks into place, locking the plug
securely into the discharge tunnel (Figure 7).
