To prepare the port for installation remove the port o'ring and
lightly lubricate it The port seal is a side to side seal and
requires the o'ring to be lightly lubricated for easy installation
Put a small amount of lubricant on your fingers and draw the
o'ring through your fingers to lightly lubricate it Do not stretch
the o'ring Check that the lip of the port where the o'ring fits
and the sealing surface on the housing are clean Place the port
with o'ring into the housing's port opening Press the port
firmly and evenly into the port opening while slightly rotating
the port until you feel the port slide into place Continue to
push down on the port and push each port lock forward until it
clicks into place It may help to slightly rotate the port as you
push in on the port lock When the port lock clicks into place
the Release Button will drop down against the port lock
Check around the perimeter of the port seal to see that the
o'ring is properly sealed and not extruded
