2. Retain the spacer if you are replacing a broken pistol grip or changing colors of your pistol grip.

3. If you are adding a pistol grip to a nozzle that did not previously have one, find the appropriate spacer in those provided in the kit. Each spacer has a series model it will fit molded into it.

4. Place the spacer into the grooves on the top of your new pistol grip.

5. Install the washer on the bolt provided.

6. Insert the bolt into the bottom end of the pistol grip.

7. Apply some red Loctite to the threads of that bolt.
