Stop valve operation introduction
1. Opening stop valve
1) Remove the cap and turn the valve counter clock-wise with the hexagon wrench.
2) Turn it until the shaft stops. Do not apply excessive force to the stop valve. Doing so may break the

3) Make sure to tighten the cap securely.
2. Closing stop valve
1) Remove the cap and turn the valve clockwise with the hexagon wrench.
2) Securely tighten the valve until the shaft contacts the main body seal.
Make sure to tighten the cap securely.
For the tightening torque, refer to the table below.
