Carefully bend the second nylon tube up at a
45º angle. his tube is the vent tube.
Test it the stopper assembly into the tank.
It may be necessary to remove some of the
lashing around the tank opening using a
modeling knife. If lashing is present, make
sure none falls into the tank.
With the stopper assembly in place, the
weighted pick-up should rest away from the
rear of the tank and move freely inside the
tank. he top of the vent tube should rest just
below the top of the tank. It should not touch
the top of the tank.
When satisied with the alignment of the
stopper assembly tighten the 3 x 20mm ma-
chine screw until the rubber stopper expands
and seals the tank opening. Do not overtight-
en the assembly as this could cause the tank
to split.
