3.2 CORROSION

Hose couplings are attached using polymer bearing rings which provides electrical insulation to help prevent galvanic corrosion. Task
Force Tips is using a three-step process to fight corrosion. The cast aluminum parts in this valve have been impregnated to fill the
microscopic pores in the cast aluminum. The parts are then hard anodized, and finally powder coated, inside and out, to help prevent
corrosion. The effects of corrosion can be minimized by good maintenance practice. See section 10.0 for maintenance.

3.3 USE WITH SALT WATER

Use with salt water is permissible provided valve is thoroughly cleaned with fresh water after each use. The service life of the valve
may be shortened due to the effects of corrosion and is not covered under warranty.

4.0 INSTALLATION

4.1 MOUNTING ON TRUCK

Screw the large coupling to the pump inlet manifold. The valve position indicator should be clearly visible, but need not be level.
4.2 ELECTRIC INSTALLATION AND WIRING
NOTE:
CABLE IS GEL FILLED TO PREVENT MOISTURE WICKING INTO ENCLOSURE.
GEL IS NON-HAZARDOUS AND SHOULD BE WIPED OFF CONDUCTORS WITH RAG.

WARNING
IMPORTANT!!
When mechanical installation and electrical connections are complete, perform the following test to verify voltage supply is adequate
and the current limiting feature is functioning.
1) Apply power to monitor control box.
2) Press OPEN or CLOSE button and hold until monitor reaches its stop position. Continue to hold button down.
3) Once movement is stopped, manually turn override knob in opposite direction while continuing to hold button down. If knob
can be turned, then voltage supply is adequate. If knob cannot be turned and motor continues to operate, then the voltage
supply or wiring is not adequate. Check connections and voltage connection point, rewire if necessary.
knob will only turn in one direction.
