Which of the following statements describes what will occur if the annular spaces, indicated by the letter "K" of the device shown in the illustration, became restricted? Illustration MO-0112

Correct Answer: Option A — The bowl will fail to close when starting and the unit will not shoot when operating.

Annular spaces designated as letter K control operating water distribution for bowl actuation. Restriction in these passages impedes the hydraulic pressure needed to shift the sliding piston upward, causing the bowl to fail both closing at start and shooting during operation.
