right groove and against the first two rollers. Hold tubing with your thumb.
Near the groove, insert the smaller prong of the loading key between the top
of the rotor and tubing. Push key in as far as possible.
6. Push down and turn the key counter-clockwise completely around the rotor.
The key will push the tubing uniformly into the end bell assembly. Hold the
second end of tubing. Remove the key.

not to pinch the tubing. If the end bells do not snap tightly together you need
to reload the tubing. If necessary, turn the key in the slot on rotor shaft to
adjust tubing.

slot in motor drive shaft. Point tubing retainer grooves up. Shift the pump
head slightly until it snaps on the alignment pins (if present).

elbows are facing the correct direction.
10. Re-attach the cleaner pump to the mount plate.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN THE MOUNTING SCREWS. DAMAGE TO THE PUMP MAY OCCUR.
