connected to the cover plate and the outer tank. The lifter device
has a lower connector and an upper connector engaging with the
lower connector. The upper connector is disposed on the cover
plate. The lower connector is disposed on the outer tank. A link
device passes through a bottom of the base seat to connect to the
pedal plate and the upper connector. The lower connector has a
recessed handle portion.
