    NOTE:
    • When the clip is attached correctly, the central area of the injector and the clip finger positions are aligned.
  3. Hold the injector firmly and push the clip into the injector until the clip stops sliding.
  4. Verify that the injector connector position is correct.
  5. Press the injector into the injector cup. Continue pressing until the clip contacts the lower surface of the injector cup.
  6. Verify that the injector and clip are correctly installed with the clip locked onto the injector cup notch.
