FEED TUBE ASSEMBLY

Insert the orifice o-ring into the groove at the inside diameter of the feed tube.
•••••
Place the feed tube compression ring over the bottom end of the feed tube then slide
it along the feed tube until it seats against the feed tube collar.

Position the piston vertically. Place the smallest outside diameter of the feed tube
housing on the piston so that the bores will align. Insert the small end of the feed tube
into the feed tube housing. Slide the feed tube into the feed tube housing until the feed
tube compression ring seats against the feed tube housing shoulder. While applying
pressure to the feed tube collar to expose the snap ring groove, use a large screwdriver
to insert the feed tube snap ring. Remove the feed tube assembly from the piston.
