Note:

If replacement is needed, be sure to use the current

replacement part.

ASSEMBLY

Be sure all parts are in place and in the proper posi-

tion. Lubricate ALL o-rings and seals with FDA ap- proved silicone grease. To install the rotor seal, first

place the seal into the valve groove, rounded side

down (see cross-section). Apply a light coating of silicone grease to the seal's crossing ribs. Then, care-

fully center the wear strip on the seal, and push it

downward onto the seal

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-

tion. _ghten the screws using a criss-cross pattern.

If a torque wrench is available, torque to 30-40 inch pounds.

Lubricate the gear on the motor, and the valve cam

gear with Molykote grease, or other high quality gear lubricant.

Be sure to orient switch as shown, with lever toward the cam.
