Set up the pump unit following the steps below:
- Insert connector tube 1 into the locking nut (see number 3 in Figure 1).
- Push the tube over the tip of the connection screw on the gauge (number 1).
- Gently tighten the locking nut over the
connector tube onto the gauge (number 2).
Be careful when attaching connector tube 1 to the connection screw tip. Be sure to tighten the locking nut gently to avoid damaging or tearing the connection tube. The condition of the connection tube can be checked by opening the locking nut. - Insert connector tube 2 (number 4) into connector tube 1 (number 3) by at least 5 mm.
- Finally, insert the connector tube 3 (number 5) into connector tube 2 (number 4) by at least 1 cm.
