INSTALL VERTICAL DRAIN TUBE AND FRAME CAPS

The vertical drain tube (A) directs the nutrient solution back to the tank. Use

the remainder of the first 111560Z5 tube if it is long enough to reach an inch

or so through the cover and into the tank. Or, cut an new piece from the

111560Z5 tube that remains. Tube end in the tank must remain above the

nutrient solution to allow additional oxygen to mix with the solution during

operation.

A

Do not cement the vertical drain tube to the tee fitting. In most instances, it

is best to allow it to remain free so it can be removed to service and drain

the reservoir. Check the tube often to ensure that it is not working loose

during operation.

ATTENTION:

If the tube is cemented to the tee fitting, additional steps will

need to be taken to remove the cover or reposition the tank.

Install the WF2995 pvc caps to cover the end of each

open pipe.

ATTENTION:

Do not cement or drive the caps onto the

pipe using a hammer. If needed, lightly tap to start on

pipe and to hold in place.

WF2995

Actual lids have square

holes for plants.
