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.
