For production technology reasons, the cap lock tabs have been changed from round (1) to elongated (2).

To this end, the bores in the spring cup (3) have also been changed from round to elongated holes.

Only caps with elongated lock tabs (2) are now available as spare parts.

If a cap with elongated lock tabs (2) is to be mounted to a spring cup with round holes (3) then the cap has to be processed.

A cap with round lock tabs (1) can be mounted to a spring cup with elongated holes.

Completely remove the four elongated lock tabs (2) by sawing them off or filing them away (flush to contact surface).

The lack of the lock tabs is not a technical problem. They are only required in the production area as an assembly aid.
