TROUBLE SHOOTING:
IMPORTANT: BEFORE MAKING ANY OF THE REPAIRS LISTED, MAKE SURE THE WATER COOLER IS
DISCONNECTED FROM THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY AND THE WATER SUPPLY VALVE IS SHUT OFF.
1. Adjustments
a. Cartridge – The water flow can be adjusted through the Pushbutton using a Straight Blade Screwdriver and turning
clockwise to increase flow and counterclockwise to decrease flow.
b. Bubbler Stream – Bubbler can be rotated slightly to direct the stream backwards or forwards. Adjust the stream to
minimize splashing. Splashing may occur from Bubbler stream if the unit is not level. Shim lower mounting points, if
necessary, to level Drinking Fountain.
2. Restricted Or No Water Flow
a. Ensure Water Supply Service Stop Valve is fully open.
b. Verify minimum 20 (138 kPa) psig supply line flow pressure.
c. Check for twists or kinks in Bubbler Tubing.
d. Check the Water Inlet Strainer. Sediment from the main supply can get trapped in the Screen along with installation
materials such as Pipe Dope and Flux. The screen should be cleaned and checked on a regular basis and replace if
needed.
NOTE: STRAINER SCREEN MUST BE IN PLACE FOR WATER TO FLOW.
e. The Cartridge Valve located in the Water Control Assembly or Bubbler can also become clogged with foreign
material. The Cartridge Valve can only be replaced and not repaired.
f. Check flow adjustment. See start up note #3.
3. Water Drip Or Will Not Shut Off:
a. Remove Pushbutton (See pg.7 for details). Adjust flow regulator to the highest setting using a Flat Head Screwdriver
and turning clockwise. Check if water drip continues, if it is no longer dripping turn Screwdriver counter-clockwise
until you have desired flow rate. Assure that retaining nut is tighten to valve assembly, 25 in-lb (2825 mNm) torque is
required. If issue still continues after adjusting flow and tightening Retainer Nut, replacement of the Flow Regulator
Cartridge will be required.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE GUIDE:
1. Motors have lifetime lubrication and do not require scheduled maintenance.
2. Periodically remove Access Panels and clean out In-Line Strainer.
3. Do NOT use harsh chemicals, abrasive or petroleum based cleaners. Use of these will void the Murdock Mfg. warranty.
4. Exterior Panels can be cleaned using mild household detergents or warm, soapy water. Extra care must be used cleaning
chrome plated items and mirror finished stainless steel. They can scratch easily and should only be cleaned using a clean,
soft cloth and mild soap with water or a mild glass cleaner.
WINTERIZING INSTRUCTIONS:
Important:
The water in all the Water Tubing, Valve Body and Y-Strainer (if equipped)
MUST
be expelled from both Drinking
Fountains on a Bi-Level Unit to prevent freezing.
1. Shut off the water supply.
2. Disconnect the water supply to the Inlet Tube or Y-Strainer (if equipped).
3. Connect compressed air [30 to 85 PSI] to the Inlet Tube or Y-Strainer (if equipped).
4. Let the Drinking Fountain pressurize with air, then blow air thru the supply line while depressing the Pushbutton on the
upper unit of a Bi-Lever Drinking Fountain until water stops flowing out of the Bubbler and all water has been removed.
5. Add RV Anti-Freeze to the P-Trap.
6. Use a protective cover to prevent fresh water from diluting the Anti-Freeze in the waste drains.
7. It is recommended that a bleeder valve be added just above the gate valve to assist in future winter shut-down procedures.
IMPORTANT : ASSUREZ-VOUS QUE LA FONTAINE D'EAU POTABLE RÉFRIGÉRÉE SOIT DÉBRANCHÉE DE LA PRISE
DE COURANT MURALE ET QUE LE ROBINET D'ALIMENTATION D'EAU SOIT FRMÉ AVANT D'EFFECTUER LES
RÉPARATIONS NÉCESSAIRES.
