Make sure Dropmaster is operating before breaching sprinkler system.  When 
approaching sprinkler head a slight vibration from the siphon effect will be noticed at the 
base of sprinkler head.  If you do not notice this vibration make sure Dropmaster is 
running.

Caution 

– The number of sprinkler heads that can be changed at a time on a sprinkler 

system when utilizing the Dropmaster depends entirely on the size of the system, the 
amount of trapped water and the efficiency of the fitters.  Generally speaking changing 
up to three heads at one time may not present any problems.  In order to ensure that the 
Dropmaster system works as intended experienced persons familiar with the operational 
features of the Dropmaster siphoning system should determine the number of heads that 
can be changed simultaneously. 

 
14.   When using the Dropmaster, periodically check the reservoir tank and drain water  

from the reservoir tank. 

 
15. 

When project has been completed, disconnect the Dropmaster and return sprinkler system 
to service.  Make sure customer/owner notifies alarm company that work is complete. 
Monitoring company should begin to monitor sprinkler system again.  Follow normal 
procedures. 

 
16.     When you are finished using the Dropmaster drain all water from tank, check 

    electrical cord,  vacuum hose and coupling for wear.  Flush tank after each use.    

Check and clean both strainers in the automatic draining system.  Keep the strainers clean 
and free of any debris at all times.
