Standpipe Installation Place the drain hose into the standpipe. Remove the beaded tie-down strap from accessories bag and place around standpipe and drain hose and tighten strap to hold hose to standpipe. Refer to Figure 7. This will prevent the drain hose from dislodging from drain receptacle during use.
