Checking for proper closure
The lug on the grip must engage
N
entirely in the recess (arrow), and
the grip must lie completely flush
with the top of the cap.
Grip the cap and check for
N
tightness.
If the cap can be moved, it is not
N
properly installed.
Misalignment of the cap parts
If the cap does not drop fully into the
N
opening when the positioning marks
line up and/or if the cap does not
tighten properly when twisted, the
base of the cap may be rotated out
of position vis-à-vis the top.
Such misalignment can result from
