Description

Warning: Before installing this product, read and follow all warning notices and instructions accompanying this valve. Failure to follow safety warning and instructions can result in severe injury, death, or property damage. Call (800) 831-7133 for additional free copies of these instructions.

IMPORTANT NOTICE!
Attention Installer: This manual contains important information about the installation, operation and safe use of this product. This information should be given to the owner/operator of this equipment.

Danger: The valve must be installed by a qualified serviceman in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances.
Always disconnect power to the equipment at the circuit breaker before servicing any of the equipment. Ensure that the disconnected circuit is locked out or properly tagged so that it cannot be switched on while you are working on the equipment.
Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death to serviceman, operator users or others due to electric shock. Position the filter and the air relief valve to safely direct water drainage and purged air or water. Water discharged from an improperly positioned filter or valve can create an electrical hazard that can cause severe personal injury as well as damage property.

Caution:

For Installation of Electrical Controls at Equipment Pad
(ON/OFF Switches, Timers and Automation Load Center)
Install all electrical controls at equipment pad, such as on/off switches, timers, and control systems, etc. to allow the operation (startup, shut-down, or servicing) of any pump or filter so the user does not place any portion of his/her body over or near the pump strainer lid, filter lid or valve closures. This installation should allow the user enough space to stand clear of the filter and pump during system start-up, shut down or servicing of the system filter.

FILTER OPERATES UNDER HIGH PRESSURE.

Warning

When any part of the circulating system, (e.g., clamp, pump, filter, valve(s), etc.), is serviced, air can enter the system and become pressurized. Pressurized air can cause the lid to separate which can result in severe injury, death, or property damage. To avoid this potential hazard, follow these instructions:

1. Before repositioning valve(s) and before beginning the assembly, disassembly, or adjustment of
   the clamp or any other service of the circulating system: (A) Turn the pump OFF and shut OFF any automatic controls to ensure the system is NOT inadvertently started during the servicing; (B) open the manual air relief valve; (C) wait until all pressure is relieved.
2. Whenever installing the filter clamp FOLLOW THE FILTER CLAMP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.
3. Once service on the circulating system is complete FOLLOW SYSTEM RESTART INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.
4. Maintain circulation system properly. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately, [e.g., clamp, pressure gauge, valve(s), o-rings, etc].
5. Be sure that the filter is properly mounted and positioned according to instructions provided.
