the pole in position.
2. Pull the pole down through the drain valve hole, until it is free in the top of the tank.
3. The pole can now be taken out of the tank through the filling hole.

Nozzle Tubes and Fittings
Poor sealings are usually caused by:
• Missing O-rings or gaskets
• Damaged or incorrectly seated O-rings
• Dry or deformed O-rings or gaskets
• Foreign objects
In case of leaks:
DO NOT overtighten. Disassemble, check condition and position of O-
ring or gasket. Clean, lubricate and reassemble.
The O-ring must be lubricated ALL THE WAY ROUND, before fitting it on
to the nozzle tube. Use non-mineral lubricant.
For AXIAL connections, a little mechanical leverage may be used.
For RADIAL connections, only tighten by hand.
