STEP 2

Unscrew the four M4 screws in counter-clock­wise direction from the bottom of the water
block using enclosed 2,5mm Allen key to re­lease the assembly, consisting of water block
top, the insert, insert pin and jet plate. Upon re­placing the insert and/or jet plate please re-as­semble the water block as shown on the photo
in STEP 1 and STEP 2. Pay special attention
to the insert orientation relative to the copper
base and water block top!

Before re-assembly of the water
block it is crucial that the pre-formed
gasket (o-ring) is placed into the
gap between the mounting plate
and the water block top.

Screw the four screws back in but don’t exag­gerate with the force applied.
