Major Components: Water Pump Operation Water is introduced through the inlet (right) side of the pump head. As the motor spins the rotor the pressure is increased ac- cording to the setting of the adjusting spring tension. The tension of the adjusting spring can be changed by making changes to the adjusting screw.
Page 36
Major Components: Flowmeter The flowmeter is fastened to a bracket against the automat compartment wall with 2 x 3mm hex screws. Its location is above the pump head, to the right of the two terminal blocks. The two screws can be accessed from underneath the flowmeter with a 3mm hex key.
