STEP 20 : PREPARE FILL RISER FOR VALVE INSERTION <br /> IMPORTANT: Inspect the riser pipe for any foreign ma - <br /> terial . Over spray from tank relining or any internal <br /> burrs inside of pipe must be removed prior to installa - <br /> tion . Failure to have an unobstructed riser pipe may <br /> prevent proper installation or operation of the valve . <br /> Thoroughly clean top of riser pipe . <br /> STEP 21 : REMOVE ELASTIC BAND <br /> Remove the elastic band securing the float to the valve <br /> body. The float will move into an outward position . <br /> STEP 22 : INSERT DROP TUBE <br /> Make sure the upper O- Ring gasket is under the flange <br /> of the inlet tube . Hold the float down against the valve <br /> body and slowly insert the drop tube overfill valve into <br /> the riser pipe . Do not force valve into the riser pipe .
