Install the nozzle and venturi seal and drain seal.

Assemble wave washer bearing, the wave washer, and two o-rings onto the rotor top shaft. Then center the rotor in the valve body, on the rotor seal.

Lower the cover onto the valve body and rotor shaft. Then install the cover holding screws. Before tight- ening the screws, install the valve cam and gear.

Then, turn the rotor (clockwise only) to service posi-
