The vacuum pump kit includes a vacuum pump with gauge, and a vacuum hose. A connector fitting
(part number 5871134M01) and fitting seal (part number 3271133M01) pump connector, which must
be ordered separately, connects the vacuum hose to the radio's chassis.
3.15.5 Pressure Pump Kit NTN4265
The pressure pump kit includes a pressure pump with gauge, and a pressure hose. As with the
vacuum pump kit above, the connector fitting - fitting seal pair connects the pressure hose to the
radio's chassis.

Large water container
•
Deionized (DI) water
•
A supply of replacement parts: Main seal O-ring, Battery Contact Seal, Breathing Vent Label
•
and Breathing Vent Membrane. (Refer to Section Figure 3-30 "EX560•XLS Radio Exploded
