Installation Instructions
Before You Start
Most accidents are the result of negligence and care-
lessness, usually caused by failure of the operator to fol-
low simple but necessary safety precautions. Allow no
one to install the pressure relief kit before carefully read-
ing this manual.
Some fasteners may be loosely assembled. Remove
them before mounting that component. Due to evolving
manufacturing practices, some assemblies may already
be completely pre-assembled. If so, check that fasteners
are tight, and skip the unneeded assembly steps.
