OPTIONAL WEATHER COVER

Instructions for Installation (See Page 12, Figures 12-1
and 12-2):
1. Remove the weather cover top and panels C and D to
access the water and electrical connections. A 7/16"
socket wrench is required.
2. Connect water supply and drain piping (panel C).
3. Terminate main power to unit (panel D).
4. Check the hose cuff(s) and hose clamp(s) for loose-
ness created during shipment.
5. Re-attach the weather cover top and panels C and D
which were removed in step #1.
6. Check that all bolts are securely fastened.
7. Connect steam dispersion device(s) to the outlet(s) on
the humidifier.
8. Verify that a good seal is maintained after making the
connections.
NOTES:
The bottom of the weather cover is open to accomodate
piping and electrical connections. These connections
must be run in watertight plastic conduit due to the
outdoor environment.
Other modifications may need to be made by the installer
including:
• freeze protection on all water piping
• insulation of hard piping between humidifier and
dispersion device
Maintenance:
Periodic maintenance of the weather cover itself is
recommended in order to insure it's continued wind/water
proof state.

Replace as needed or on an annual basis.
2. Annually check for loose bolts or connections.
3. Annually check the hose cuff(s) for signs of wear.
