washer at drive yoke.

 

8.  Return bypass or inlet valving to normal service position. 

Water pressure should be applied to the conditioner 
and any bypass line shut off.

 

9.  Plug electrical cord into outlet.

 

10.  Set time of day. Cycle the control valve manually to 

assure proper function. Make sure the control valve is

is in place.

 

12.   Make sure there is enough brine in the brine tank.

  *13.  Rotate program wheel counter-clockwise until it stops 

at regeneration position. 

 

14.  Start regeneration cycle manually if water is hard.

  *15.  Plug cable into meter cover. Rotate cable to align drive 

flat if necessary. 

E. TO REPLACE SEALS & SPACERS
 

*1.  Pull cable out of meter cover. Remove the control valve 

cover.

 

2.  Remove screw and washer at drive yoke. Remove timer 

mounting screws. The entire timer assembly will now 
lift off easily. Remove end plug retainer plate.

 

3.  Pull upward on end of piston yoke until assembly is 

out of valve. Remove and replace seals and spacer 
with fingers.

 

4.  Inspect the inside of the valve to make sure that all 

spacers and seals are in place, and that there is no 
foreign matter that would interfere with the valve op-
eration.

 

5.  Take new piston assembly and push piston into valve 

by means of the end plug. Twist yoke carefully in a 
clockwise direction to properly align it with drive gear. 
Replace end plug retainer plate.

 

6.  Place timer on top of valve. Be sure drive pin on main 

gear engages slot in drive yoke (rotate control knob if 
necessary).

 

7.  Replace timer mounting screws. Replace screw and 

washer at drive yoke.

 

8.  Return bypass or inlet valving to normal service po-

sition. Water pressure should now be applied to the 
conditioner and any bypass line shut off.

 

9.  Plug electrical cord into outlet.

 

10.  Set time of day. Cycle the control valve manually to 

assure proper functions. Make sure the control valve 
is returned to the service position.

 

11.  Replace the control valve back. *Be sure meter cable 

is in place.

 

  Make sure there is enough brine in the brine tank.

 

12.   Rotate program wheel counter-clockwise until it stops 

at regeneration position. 

 

13.  Start regeneration cycle manually if water is hard.

 

14.  Plug cable into meter cover. Rotate cable to align drive 

flat if necessary. 

*F.  TO REPLACE METER
 

1.  Pull cable out of meter cover.

meter module out of control valve.

 

5.  Apply silicone lubricant to four new o-rings and as-

semble to four ports on new meter module.

 

6.  Assemble meter to control valve. 

Note: meter portion 

of module must be assembled at valve outlet.

 

7.  Attach two clips and screws at control valve. Be sure 

clip legs are firmly engaged with lugs.

 

8.  Push resin tank back to the plumbing connections and 

engage meter ports with bypass valve or yoke.

 

9.  Remove two clips and screws at bypass valve or yoke. 

Be sure clip legs are firmly engaged with lugs.

 

10.  Return bypass or inlet valving to normal service po-

age, replace if necessary.

 

5.  Apply silicone lubricant to new o-rings and assemble 

to the smallest diameter on meter cover.

 

6.  Assemble  cover  to  meter  module.  Be  sure  impeller 

spindle enters freely into cover. Press firmly on cover 
and rotate if necessary to assist in assembly.

 

7.  Replace four screws and tighten.

 

8.  Return bypass or inlet valving to normal service po-
