are positioned in the pin cavities located in the front face of the cylinder.
18. Install the lock cylinder cap (9) by aligning the drain hole in the cap with the bottom of the case assembly (4). Snap the cap into place with light
hand pressure. Be sure the cap is securely retained on the case assembly. Also, be sure that the shutter springs (7) push the shutter assembly (8) up
against the inside surface of the cap.
19. Install the lever (10), left side shown, right side opposite, onto the end of the cylinder (1).
