screw (13).
(3) Place the large washer (7) on the machine
screw with the raised side against the diaphragm.
Install the nut (6) on the machine screw and tighten
it securely.
(4) Align the holes in the diaphragm valve in
the pressure control.
(5) Screw the guide shaft (4) into the cover (3).
(6) Place the spring (5) over the diaphragm
valve.
(7) Align the holes in the cover with the studs,
and place the cover on the pressure control.
