Spectrum Essential Oil Storage System INTRODUCTION Trico Spectrum Oil Storage Systems are an innovative solution to resolving bulk oil storage issues for constricted space requirements. They allow expansion from the base unit while eliminating contamination issues. Storage systems are available with up to a 6-tank configuration depending on your bulk storage requirements.
Amperage draw from the electric motor varies due to load at normal operating conditions. Full load amperage for the Spectrum Essential Oil Storage System is 17.2A and a separate 20 Amp circuit is recommended. Failure to use the appropriate circuit type may cause overloading of the circuit and trip the breaker.
DO NOT CLIMB on the Trico Spectrum Oil Storage System in anyway. Climbing on the system may cause the system to tip over and cause severe injury including death. The intended use of the system is to be fixed to the floor with the mounting holes located in the spill containment pan skid runners, on a flat, level surface.
Spectrum Essential Oil Storage System OVERVIEW Trico Spectrum Oil Storage Systems are meant to store petroleum-based lubricants in a clean, orderly, organized, space saving method. The Essential Stack is set up to be expandable up to 6 different tanks connected to one central motor/pump/manifold/tanks combination. The system is set up to have a main Pump Stack (Part #37200) with additional Storage Stack (Part #37202) on each side of the Pump Stack.
Spectrum Essential Oil Storage System STEP-UP & INSTALLATION Trico Spectrum Oil Storage Systems come almost fully assembled. They are meant to store petroleum- based lubricants in a clean, orderly, organized, space saving method. The system only requires the Watchdog Extreme Humidity Desiccant Breathers attached, the correct electrical outlet to plug the motor in, and to mount the On/Off switch to make the system usable.
Spectrum Essential Oil Storage System Attaching Watchdog Extreme Humidity Desiccant Breathers (Part #39141) 1. Remove desiccant breathers from packaging. 2. Remove white elastic band around top of desiccant breather to allow airflow and activate the desiccant breather. 3. Install desiccant breathers on top of each tank. On top of each tank is a 1/2" NPT tee fitting where the desiccant breathers will screw into.
Spectrum Essential Oil Storage System Mounting the On/Off Motor Switch The On/Off Switch that controls the motor has been shipped loose, and not attached onto the system. The power cord connected to the pump has approximately 6 feet before the On/Off Switch. Once the best place for the On/Off switch is determined, remove the double-sided tape strip on the backside of the electrical box and mount the On/Off Switch.
Adding Additional Storage Stacks (Part #37202) to Expand the System The Spectrum Essential Oil Storage System is set up to be expandable up to 6 different tanks connected to one central motor/pump/manifold/tanks combination. The system is set up to have a main Pump Stack (Part #37200) with additional Storage Stacks (Part #37202) on each side of the Pump Stack.
