| 1 | Remove the cap and screw the tee handle
into the pitless adaptor (for well seals or oversize pitless
adaptors, see step 6).

||||||
| 2 | "Wheelbarrow" the model 1977 to the pump and remove the pinch wheel. |
|
||||||
| 3 | Rock the model 1977 to set the leg height just above the casing. Leg height is set by clutches; no pins to pull and lose or holes to line up. Remove the pinch wheel. |
