It is clear from the image that the fixed retaining tab (marked white so that it is easier to
see) is pointing upwards. If you see a drain on which the retaining tab has been fitted in
this way, rotate the pre-installed plastic part through 180 degrees (as indicated by the
drain shown on the right in the image)
Before commencing rotation, immerse the drain in some water containing a few drops of
an everyday rinsing agent. Adding the rinsing agent makes the plastic ring easier to rotate.
Use flat pliers to rotate the plastic ring, gripping it on the left-hand or right-hand side
Then install both drains on the heater and air conditioning unit in the first instance,
ensuring that the drains are not twisted. During the next assembly step, you must ensure
that the fixed retaining tab, which is now pointing downwards, is inserted in the recess on
the body. Now firmly press the water drain hose into place in the recess on the body. You
should be able to hear the flexible retaining tab engage.
