WTRNING
FOLLOW THE NEXT STEP CAREFULLY TO PREVENT LEAKAGE, WHICH COULD CAUSE INJURY.
8. When the insertion tool is securely fastened, loosen the nut on the top of the seal assembly, making sure not to loosen
the entire seal assembly that is connected to the piping. (The larger of the hex nuts houses the split-ring assembly.) This
should be completely loosened o the top of the seal assembly with NO threads engaged. This can be done by holding
the seal assembly in place and then loosening the large hex nut on the split-ring assembly. The split-ring nut should be
loosened completely (you may have to tap the nut with a hammer to free the split ring).
