2.Push the tubing firmly into each fitting on the manifold until the line is flush with the fitting collar. (If the tubing is removed, re- cut the end, measure, mark and re-insert). Tubing must be fully inserted to avoid leaks. To remove tubing: depress and hold red or blue collet; pull tubing out to remove.

3.Pull out slightly on tubing to ensure a good seal.

FLOW RESTRICTOR REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE

Each time the Reverse Osmosis cartridge is changed, you will need to replace the flow restrictor in the drain line as well.

Be sure to wash your hands before handling inner parts of the system.

FLOW RESTRICTOR REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE (cont.)

1.Remove drain line tubing by pushing up on the drain line collet with one hand (1) and removing the drain line with the other hand (2).

2.Once the drain line has been removed from the system base, grasp the end of the flow restrictor and pull it straight out from the tube*. If the restrictor is difficult to remove by hand, a pair of pliers may be used to grip the end of the restrictor to aid in removal from the tubing.

*In some instances, the restrictor may slide out of the drain tubing as it is removed from the drain line port. If, after removing the drain line as described in step 1, the restrictor is no longer in the end of the tubing, check the drain line port. Remove the restrictor from the port and proceed to step 3.

3.Take new restrictor and slide it back into the drain tubing. Insert the restrictor by hand only. Do not use pliers to insert. Make sure to insert restrictor all the way into the tubing. Failure to do so could result in improper operation of the RO system.

4.Reinsert drain line tubing in system base. Tug lightly on the tubing to ensure that the collet is engaged and has a proper grip on the tubing.
