Installation
1. Check that the pot is in sound condition and not cracked. Any cracked pots should be replaced or strapped prior to installing C-Cap
Remove the spring wires.,clamp and screws.
If the optional insect screen (supplied in all cases) is to be used, lay this in the C-Cap
Fit the spring wires. One of the central slots is slightly deeper than the other. Fit the first wire into the deeper slot followed by the second wire. Check that both wires are evenly positioned.
Secure the wires firmly in place with the clamp and screws. The screws can be screwed fully home, but do not overtighten.
Insert the ends of two adjacent wires into the pot, pointing away from you.
Tap or push the cap away over the far side of the pot so that the other ends of the wires (nearest you) are located as close as reasonably possible to the near edge of the pot rim. Then pushthese ends of the wires into the pot.
Once these are in, simply tap the C-Cap down on to the pot.
