the third Cap Screw into the side of the Housing and into the Saddle half. Tighten all

Place the other Saddle half in the Housing. Run the Clamp Knob Assy in until it
lightly presses the second Saddle half against the first Saddle half. Thread the
Shoulder Screw in through the Clamp Knob Assy into the upper half Saddle. Retract
the second Saddle half by turning the clamp Knob Assy. Install the (2) two Button
Head Screws with the (2) two Flat Washers into the front of the Housing.
Insert the tubing to be worked on into the front of the Model 301SP. Move the tube or
