Connect the PTFE tube bundle. Install the end with the 4-Port Hub (Long) onto the Toolhead Manifold, and connect the other end to the four channels on the top of the CFS Lite.
Note: When inserting the PTFE tubes into the pneumatic fittings, make sure they are fully inserted. Gently pull up on the tubes to check that they are securely fixed.

 |
Install the 5-Port Hub. Observe the hub and orient it so that the longer clip faces backward. Install PTFE tubes into the other four ports, and secure the toolhead cable into the longer clip.
 |

Arrange the PTFE tubes to prevent them from tangling with each other or tipping backward and coming into contact with the gantry.
