valve.
13. Install the Hex Coupler Guard as follows:
a. Spread the inner guard and place it over the coupler.
NOTE: Do not spread the inner and outer guards more
than necessary for guard installation. Over spreading
the guards may alter their fit and appearance.
b. With the inner guard straddling the support bracket,
install a cap screw through the hole in the support
bracket and guard located closest to the pump. Do not
tighten the capscrew.
c. Spread the outer guard and place it over the inner
guard.
d. Install the outer guard cap screws by following the step
stated below which pertains to your particular pump:
I) For pumps with a motor saddle support bracket:
Ensure the outer guard is straddling the support arm,
and install but do not tighten the two remaining cap
screws.
II) For pumps without a motor saddle support bracket:
Insert the spacer washer between the holes located
closest to the motor in the outer guard, and install
but do not tighten the two remaining cap screws.
e. Position the outer guard so it is centered around the
shaft, and so there is less than a
f. Holding the guard in this position, tighten the three cap
screws.
