Visually check and remove any foreign materi­
als from the valve inlet and outlet ports (FIG. 6).
Carefully remove the two large plastic clips (you
will use them). Check to be sure the turbine and
turbine support are firmly in place. (Fig. 6)
BYPASS VALVE: If not already done, put a light
coating of silicone grease on the o-ring seals and
slide onto the bypass valve. Push the bypass
valve into the softener valve as far as it will go.
Snap the two large holding clips into place,
from the top down as shown. _(Fig. 7)

into place so the bypass valve will not pull out.

ports, as far as they will go. Both adaptors are
the same and fit either port. Snap the two large
holding clips into place, as shown. _(Fig. 7)
1^ CAUTION...Be sure the clips snap firmly
into place so the adaptors will not pull out.
