  9. Place the Potentiometer Stem through the opening in the pump housing, the side of the potentiometer with the wires facing out. Rotate the Potentiometer stem to the center position, and align with "OFF". Replace the small washer and tighten the Retaining Nut on the Potentiometer.
  10. Slide the Potentiometer Knob onto the Potentiometer Stem and align the white indicator with "OFF".
