Attention Installer.

SECTION I.
FILTER INSTALLATION.
A. GENERAL INFORMATION.
1.
The filter should be mounted on a level concrete slab. Position
the filter so that instructions, warnings and the pressure gauge
are visible to the operator. It also should be positioned so that
the piping connections, control valve and drain port are
convenient and accessible for servicing and winterizing.
2.
Install electrical controls (e.g., on/off switches, timers, control
systems, etc.) at least five (5) feet from the filter. This will
allow you enough room to stand clear of the filter during
system start up.
3.
Allow sufficient clearance around the filter to permit visual
verification that the clamp is properly installed around the tank
flanges, see Figure 1.
a.
Tap the clamp with a mallet or similar tool to ensure uniform
loading during clamp tightening.
