Hold the tube in your right hand with
“R” facing you. Note that the fitting marked “L” is
facing downward and away from you to the left. The
tube is purposely twisted to allow for the difference
between the inside length and the outside length of
the tube when installed in the pump head. Hold the
tube with your thumbs over the “R” and the “L.” the fitting marked The tube will naturally curve toward the rear of the
pump head. The curve in the tubing is a patented
feature which prevents the pump tube from running
outward and against the cover.
Attach the plastic tube fitting (marked “R”) into the right
side of the pump head.. Push the groove of the fitting
straight into the slot. With the pump running, hold the
fitting marked “L’ with your left hand (your thumb should
be covering the “L”). At the same time, use your right
thumb to guide the tube into the pump head. With the tubing riding well between the rollers, push the
fitting marked “L” into the chamber lock. Be sure both
fittings are pushed all the way in place.
