WARNING: FOR PROTECTION, A SANITIZING
AGENT HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE SOFTENER TANK
AT THE FACTORY. THIS SANITIZING AGENT MUST
BE FLUSHED OUT BEFORE THE UNIT IS PLACED
INTO SERVICE BY RUNNING AT LEAST 50 GALLONS
OF WATER THROUGH THE UNIT DRAIN.
1. Connect the power cord to a grounded 3-wire, 120 Volt,
60 Hertz outlet, or a 2-wire outlet with a suitable 3-wire
adapter (properly grounded to the outlet box or plate).
2. Set the timer to the correct time of recharge and time of
day.
3. Caution the homeowner to not use water for about 30
minutes while you complete the start-up.
4. Shift the by pass valve to the SOFT WATER position by
pushing in the blue knob. The mineral tank will begin to
fill with water.
5. After about one minute, shift the bypass valve to the
BYPASS position by pushing in the red knob.
6. Advance the cam gear of the timer clockwise to the back-
wash position. This will expel air from the mineral tank
to drain.
7. When all the air has been expelled from the mineral tank,
advance the cam gear to the service position.
8. Repeat steps 4 through 7.
9. Repeat steps 4 through 7 again.
10.Shift the Bypass Valve to the SOFT WATER position,
initiate a recharge and allow the recharge cycle to run to
completion.
Start-Up Procedure
WARNING: ALTHOUGH NOT NORMALLY NECES-
SARY, SHOULD YOU NEED TO DISASSEMBLE ANY
PART OF THE CONTROL VALVE OR REMOVE THE
CONTROL FROM THE TANK ASSEMBLY OR ASSO-
CIATED PLUMBING, DEPRESSURIZE THE UNIT FIRST
CLOSING THE MAIN SUPPLY VALVE, THEN OPEN A
CONVENIENT FAUCET DOWN STREAM FROM THE
WATER CONDITIONER.
During the recharge cycle, hard water will be available to all
the lines in the household. Immediately following recharge,
the water to service will be soft.
Because of the volume of water contained in the water heater,
the hot water may not be soft for several days. Soft hot water
can be made available almost immediately, however, if the
water heater is drained immediately after recharge and
allowed to refill with soft water.
BEFORE LEAVING THE INSTALLATION SITE
Make sure the brine tank is filled with water to the level of
the float. Fill the tank with a hose or put the unit into a full
recharge so that the brine refill cycle will fill the tank.
Explain the operation of the softener to the customer. Give
the customer a copy of the Owner's Guide and warranty policy.
Make sure the customer knows that there will be new sounds
associated with the recharging of the unit. Advise the
customer to periodically check and replenish the salt supply.
Clean up the unit and the installation site, removing any
soldering or pipe threading residues from the equipment with
a damp towel.
