If the bypass retainer 4498 falls out on the Blaze King PRINCESS PE1006, reposition it back into place before reinstalling the combustor. The retainers are not fixed and can fall into the firebox, so ensure they are correctly positioned on each side. No removal or special installation procedure is required.
