their mounting hardware in the following
order: two Torx T-20 screws, hex nut, and
mounting bracket for each restrictor valve.
7. Remove the two Torx T-20 screws securing
the valve box top assembly to the standoffs.
Lift the valve box top assembly straight off
the valve box. Be careful not to move the

tion.

offs in the valve box. Lower the box top
assembly until it rests on the standoffs.

Torx T-20 mounting screws. Tighten these
screws firmly. Reinstall hardware for vari-
able restrictors if present.
