Prepare Reservoir Lid
PREPARE RESERVOIR LID
Complete these steps to drill the holes in the propagation tray.
1. With assistance, carefully place the reservoir lid on supports for
drilling. Do not drill the lid over the reservoir.
Debris can damage the
pump and contaminate the nutrient solution when reservoir is filled.
2. Drill the first hole using a 1-3/8" hole saw bit. This hole is for the 3/4"
tube from the pump. Hole size allows both the tube and the power
cord from the pump to pass through it. See next page for details.
3. Drill the second hole using a 1-1/8" hole saw bit. This hole is for the
3/4" drain tube from the propagation tray.
NOTE:
Hole can be drilled using the 1-3/8" hole saw bit if it is the only
bit available. Smaller hole protects the nutrient solution from light and
debris.
4. Clean debris from the lid and place the lid on the reservoir. Slide the
reservoir under the frame and propagation tray.
5. Continue with the next procedure.
