1. Install the SAFEKEY O-Ring seals (12) to the SAFEKEY heads (13).
2. Lightly grease the end cap O-Rings (2), the end cap grooves and the ends of the
body bore.
3. Taking one of the end caps install its O-Ring and insert it into the Body.
4. Holding the SAFEKEY close to the entry hole (cast identity letter C or D) to prevent
kinking, insert the SAFEKEY into the hole and gently push into place.

gently compress the O-Ring and create a pressure seal.
6. Repeat the operation for the other end cap.
