Hello

The valve adjustement was done according to the manual n° 6



It remains to reassemble to start with the water pipe ...

I hope that will be sufficient

Thats really tough to figure out. It really does not look like a valve lock. How big is that piece ? Take a better picture with a ruler next to it. See if you can get the focus better. And maybe a picture from a different angle.
