the valve spindle (20) until the holes for the spring pin
(17) are clear. Install the spring pin. Be sure that it sits evenly in
the hole. Back the adjusting knob out counter clockwise to apply

Do not allow the lever to spring up forcefully as
it passes through the case. This could cause the lever to
disengage from the shuttle valve, requiring disassembly of
the valve spindle assembly.

Ensure that the lever is vertical after tightening.
CAUTION:
Excessive tightening of the heat exchanger will
