Important Information

SAMPLE ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE

The steps outlining the sample table system assembly

process are as follows:
1. Verify that all parts are included in the shipment.

Notify customer service for questions or concerns.

2. Read these instructions and all additional

documentation included with the shipment

before

you begin.

3. Gather the tools and assistants needed to

assemble the product.

BASIC CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Proper care and maintenance of your system

is important. Check the following items

periodically to properly maintain your Dutch

bucket system.
• Check connections and all fasteners to

verify that they remain tight.

• Verify that the pump is working properly.
• Check and clean all filters to optimize

performance.

• Clean the reservoir periodically to prevent

unwanted contamination of solution.

• Monitor temperatures (room and solution)

to maximize plant growth.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Apply PVC primer and cement in a well-ventilated

area. Follow all instructions on containers.

• Use a portable GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit

Interrupter) when working with electric power tools

and cords. Use battery-powered tools if possible.

• Exercise caution when using all tools.
• Wear gloves and eye protection when drilling and

cutting.

UNPACK AND IDENTIFY PARTS

The following steps will ensure that you have all the

necessary parts

before

you begin assembly.

1. Unpack the contents of the shipment and place

where you can easily inventory the parts. Refer

to the Bill of Materials/Spec Sheets.

2. Verify that all parts listed on the Bill of Materials/

Spec Sheets are present. If anything is missing

or you have questions, contact Customer

Service.

WARNING:

KEEP ALL ELECTRICAL

CORDS AND CONNECTIONS OUT OF THE

RESERVOIR. CONSULT THE SERVICES

OF A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN TO

ADEQUATELY AND SAFELY CONNECT THE

PUMP TO A POWER SUPPLY.

ALL ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS SHALL BE

DESIGNED IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL

AND REGIONAL BUILDING CODES AND

STANDARDS.

ATTENTION:

Install all fittings so they are fully

inserted into the 3/4" tubing. Use a hair dryer

to gently heat the tubing for easier installation.

Do not overheat!

Use pliers to gently squeeze ratchet clamps

around tubing.

Heat tube with a

hair dryer for easier

assembly. Do not

overheat!
