CAUTION:
  • When replacing always use a new "O" ring, packing and clip.
  • Handle it with bare hands. Do not use gloves.

  1. Install the pressure regulator as follows.
    • Insert the clip to the grove of the regulator. See Fig 13 .
    • With the clip installed, insert the regulator straight by matching the fuel filter protrusion and the clip notch. See Fig 13 .
