3. Identify the Y-axis washdown block that's included in this
kit.
IMPORTANT! The Y-axis washdown block
contains 3 very small O-rings. Pay attention
and use care when handling to prevent
dropping or losing the O-rings.
4. Tape the washdown block assembly together to prevent
the cover plate from falling off when you're installing
the block. Then, remove the three hex nuts from the back
of the washdown block with a 2.5 mm hex wrench and a
7 mm wrench. Do not remove the screws from the block
because these help hold the O-rings in place. The nuts
are for shipping purposes and can be discarded.

temporarily taped together.
5. Install the washdown block on the front of the Y-axis
cover with its three pre-installed screws and a 2.5 mm
hex wrench. Remove the painter's tape from the
washdown block.

of the Y-axis cover.
6. Re-install the Y-axis rear way cover to the column of the
machine with the six M6 screws that you set aside
earlier.
7. On the back of the machine, identify the rear access
panel. Remove the five M6 screws from the panel and
set the screws aside.

machine.
8. Knock out the upper left knock-out on the access panel
with a hammer and punch.
9. Identify the 20 in. long, 5/8 in. OD hose (PN51516)
included in this kit. From the back of the machine, install
the hose to the 1/2 in. barbed hose fitting on the back of
the washdown block with one hose clamp (PN51679)
and a pair of pliers.

10. Route the loose end of the hose through the knock-out in
the access panel, and re-install the access panel onto the
back of the machine with the five M6 screws that you
set aside earlier.
