Lastly, slide the “B” (Back) block onto the assembly and fasten using a large
M6 washer and M6 lock nut on each screw. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. “B” block slides
over the back of the pump bracket to complete the sandwich. “F” and “B” blocks
cause the pump to tilt forward, but; their outer faces should be parallel. You
should be able to read the letters from a top view when the sandwich is
complete.
“B”
“F”
Fasten nuts with large washers on the back of the sandwich using a 10mm wrench
and 5mm hex key.

open the app on
your device. 2. Cycle the power to the Bluetooth controller by unplugging it
and plugging it back in or flick the power switch and wait a few seconds, then
turn it back on. 3. Wait for the app to detect the controller, it will pop up
on the app screen as a Bluetooth controller. If necessary, cycle the power
once more to refresh the controller. 4. Once the controller shows up on the
app, click it and connect. You have 30 seconds to select the controller once
it shows up on the app. After 30 second you will need to refresh again to
detect the controller again. 5. Note that if you mounted your controller
behind a lot of metal components, this may degrade the signal and range.
