3.2 CORROSION

Hose couplings are attached using polymer bearing rings which provides electrical insulation to help prevent galvanic corrosion. The
parts are then hard anodized, and fi nally 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 ENCLOSURE MOUNTING

Select proper location for display. A full size template is shown in section 12.0.
4.3 ELECTRIC INSTALLATION AND WIRING
Red (+) and black (-) wires must be connected to a 12 or 24 VDC protected circuit from the truck's power distribution center. Figure
4.3 shows the control connections.
