Includes procedures to pressurise softener tank
and fill brine tank
With all piping and installation completed, and with
mineral in the tank, proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect electrical power to timer.
2. Remove valve cover to expose timer and
mechanism.
3. Open manual bypass valve, close manual inlet
and outlet valves (see Figure 2).
4. Push in on RED KNOB on timer, turn counter-
clockwise until arrow on the camshaft/timer
support points to the BACK-WASH position
indicated on #1 cam (see Figure 5).
5. Slowly open manual inlet supply valve. DO NOT
open fully. Water will enter from the bottom of
filter tank as air is expelled from the top to the
drain. Full flow of water could cause loss of
media. Continue to fill slowly until air is expelled
and only water flows to drain.
NOTE: If top cover of softener tank can be removed
to vent air, the tank may be filled more quickly.
Observe the level and replace cover before tank
overflows.
6. When ONLY water flows to drain, open inlet
valve fully and backwash until water looks clean
when caught in a container.
7. Push in RED KNOB and index timer counter-
clockwise to BRINE/RINSE position (arrow on
camshaft/timer support pointing to BRINE/
RINSE on #1 cam). Observe a slow flow of
water to the drain.
8. Push in RED KNOB and index timer to
PRESSUR. (pressurise) position indicated on #1
cam (see Figure 6). Keep in this position for 5
minutes. This allows the tank to return to line
pressure and permits easier movement of the
valve discs.
9. Fill the brine tank with the proper amount and
type of salt recommended for the use with the
system.
10. Push in RED KNOB and index pilot valve to
PURGE. Allow water to flow to drain until clear.
During this time the brine tank will fill until the
float closes the brine tank valve. Check that all
the brine fittings are tight and that water level in
brine tank os according to softener
specifications.
11. Index the valve to SERVICE.
12. Close manual by-pass valve and open outlet
valve fully.
Set Timer
Determine a regeneration schedule for the softener
and adjust the automatic timer (see Figure 9) as
follows:
1. Put all SKIPPER PINS up (away from control).
2. Rotate SKIPPER WHEEL until DAY ARROW
points to day of week.
3. Depress SKIPPER PIN(S) for day(S)
regeneration is required.
4. Pull TIMER KNOB out (away from timer face)
and rotate until BLACK ARROW on tripper arm
points to correct time of day on Face Plate.
5. Timer will automatically initiate backwash on
preset days at 2:30 A.M. To alter time, simply
reset TIMER KNOB to an earlier or later time
which will change the time of regeneration by
the same number of hours. (Time indicated at
BLACK ARROW will no longer be correct).
Set BACKWASH timing
(Figure 7)
Make sure time is in the SERVICE position. Loosen
the screw (A) on the white gear (B) and rotate the
grey gear (C) with the numbered decal until desired
