Installation: The K9000 2.0 Dog Wash can be installed either indoors or outdoors. 2.1 Levelling and Positioning the K9000 2.0 The K9000 2.0 needs to be placed in a level horizontal position to operate correctly. There are 4 adjustable feet and 2 mounting feet, place a level along the back of the K9000 2.0 and adjust the feet according to get the K9000 2.0 level, place the level along the top of the cabinet running back to front to make sure it is not tilting forward or backwards.
2.2 Connecting the Water Supply and Waste to the K9000 2.0. Before connecting the K9000 2.0 to water and waste ensure local regulations are considered. Some sites may require an additional back flow prevention device. Local regulations may also require sites to use copper pipes for waste. 2.2.1 Connecting the Water Supply Flush the pipes prior to connecting to the K9000 2.0.
2.2.2 Hot Water Hot water can be sourced from the site, or the dog wash can include an on-board hot water service. The on-board hot water service will be an instantaneous unit. 2.2.2.1 Site Supplied Hot Water Shown below is a K9000 2.0 that was installed at a site that supplied HOT water, and as such the unit did not require to have an on-board hot water service.

2.2.2.3 Shown picture below shows the water entry point for a K9000 2.0 with a hot water storage service. Cold water connection for Storage Hot Water System After the water is connected the hot water tap is to be turned on and the hot water system filled and bled.

2.2.2.4 On Board Instantaneous Hot Water Unit The pictures below are examples of instantaneous hot water units which may be fitted either on the left-hand side of the cabinet or on the rear of the dog wash cabinet. Only qualified personnel should access the on-board hot water unit as there is “live” equipment inside.
2.3 Connecting the Power – For Your Electrician The K9000 2.0 needs to be hardwired to the switch board on its own circuit. The size of the circuit depends on the specific specification of your K9000 2.0, refer to the rating plate located inside the cabinet to confirm your maximum load.
The photo left is of the main electrical cable entry point to the dog wash. Once you have run the conduit to this point, THEN leave another 1 meter for the termination inside the dog wash. 2.4 Attaching a Suction Line to a Pump Pictured on the left is that of a pump inside the dog wash with the pump head circled to enable you to understand the orientation of the pump head when fitted in the dog wash.
Page 16
Step 1 Undoing the pump and identifying the pieces. Starting with the pump head, undo the fitting nut at the bottom of the pump head. This is where the suction line will be attached to the pump. The first pieces we see when the fitting nut is removed are the: Hose adaptor and Hose stopper.
Page 17
Remove the hose adaptor. Between the hose adaptor and the pump head there is an O ring, sometimes it stays in the pump head but mostly it comes out seated in the hose adaptor. The O ring is an important part as it helps seal the pump head making for better suction.
Page 18
Step 2 Attaching the Suction Line to the Pump. Firstly, we feed the suction line through the fitting nut. Then we place the hose stopper on the suction line. Push the hose onto the hose adaptor so that it is flush, this is vital to ensure a good seal. https://k9000dogwash.sharepoint.com/sites/K9000/Shared Documents/General/Build/Furever Clean/Furever Clean K9000 2.0/K9000 2.0 Canadian Operators Manual v2.0.docx Page 18...
Page 19
Then fit the hose adaptor to the hose, ensuring the O ring is seated into position. Push the hose stopper onto the hose adaptor as firmly as possible. Now we attach the suction line fittings back into the pump head. As we tighten the fitting nut the hose stopper will close up on the hose adaptor and the task is complete.
