I To connect a union proceed as follows :
- Position sleeve-seal (( a u lightly coated with
L,HM fluid; this sleeve seal must not reach the
extremity of pipe (( b )).
- Centre the pipe in the housinq by lininq it up
with the axis of the hole, avoidinq all stress.
( Ensure that the end u b )I of the pipe enters
into the smali bore C< c )> j.
Start screwing in the union nut by hand.
- Tiqhten nut moderately : excessive force could
cause a leak because of deformation of the pipe
NOTE Tiqhteninq torques :
3.5 -mm pipe t 5.8 to 6 6 ft lbs
4 5 mm pipe 5 8 to 0 mN ( 0.8 to.0 9 ‘1 kg )
6 6 to 8 0 ft.lbs

9 to 11 mN (0 9 to 1 1 m.kg ) c ) Fittilzg :
I Only use joints of a quality compatible with LHM mineral fluid.
The design of the various seals ensures that their sealing action increases with fluid pressure The oiltiqhtness e
is therefore not improved by greater tiqhtness of the unions
2 To connect a rubber tube a rubber rinq of suitabie diameter has to be positioned between thr, tube and the hose

Disconnect tube (2) from capsule.
Remove the two capsule fixing screws (3
1.
Discollnrci the butterfly operating arm from I
lever (4) by raising rimmed collar at Rrmove COWI fixing screws ( 1) and free cover
with its float (6 ) and gasket (7 ).
2. Adjusting the float :
Check that pin (8 ) is properly positioned on
tongue e c N and hook it onto the needle valve.
Hold ccwe~ vertically so thot the tongue e( c P)
of float comes into contact with the needle valve
ball
without pushing it in.
Take the measurement of the float with needle
valve in closed position as shown opposite
( with gasket (7) on cover ).
This measurement must be 7 i 0.25 mm.
If not, adjust tongue e c K until correct value is
obtained.
This measurement must he the same under each
of the floats. If not, correct by adjusting the
connecting bar ss b )I.
