General Preliminary Instructions
PERFORM BEFORE ALL SERVICING OPERATIONS
1. Turn off water supply to conditioner.
-If the conditioner installation has a “three valve” bypass system, first open the valve in the by
pass line, then close the valves at the conditioner inlet and outlet.
-If the conditioner has an integral bypass valve, put it in the bypass position.
-If there is only a shut off valve near the conditioner inlet, close it.
2. Remove cover and relieve water pressure in the conditioner by stepping the control into the back
wash position momentarily. Return the control to the service position.
3. Unplug electrical cord from outlet.

To Replace Powerhead
1. Remove the control valve cover and disconnect the power supply.
2. Disconnect the meter cable from circuit board and feed back through control (if existing meter is
being re-used)
3. Remove lower back base screws and detach lower back base.
4. Remove screw and washer at drive yoke. Remove powerhead mounting screws. The entire pow
erhead assembly will now lift off easily.
5. Put new powerhead on top of the valve. Be sure the drive pin on main gear engages slot in drive
yoke (wide side of drive yoke upright must face to the left away form the motor).
6. Replace powerhead mounting screws. Replace screw and washer at drive yoke.
7. Reattach lower back base.
7. Reconnect meter signal, wire and power supply.

Special end spacer must be reused)
5. Lubricate new seals with silicone lubricant included in the seal and spacer kit. Make sure the spe
cial end spacer is properly seated in the valve body. Install new seals and spacers individually,
pressing around the outer edge of each seal to make sure it is seated. (When all seals and spac-
