to pry hose up while simultaneously pulling the hose upward.
5. Remove sieve bed hoses from manifold assembly.
6. Remove the two spade connectors from the valve pilot on top of the manifold
assembly.
7. Loosen the adjustable clamp that secures valve manifold input hose to heat exchanger.

assembly straight up through the cutout in the sound box.
11. Loosen the adjustable clamp on valve manifold input hose to bottom center port of
manifold assembly.
NOTE: Note orientation of valve manifold input hose to Y-tube muffler assembly. It is imperative
that this input hose be installed in the same orientation in order to connect to the heat exchanger.
12. Remove valve manifold input hose from bottom center port of manifold assembly. Use
screwdriver to loosen the connection of the tubing at barbed fitting while pulling
tubing away from manifold assembly.
