WATER VALVE INSTRUCTIONS
Turn off all equipment including pumps. Do not stand over valve while the pump is on. Warning: A hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
How to open the water valve
1. Remove the band clamp by turning the clamp knob or 7/16 inch nut counter-clockwise until it comes off the bolt. Then carefully pull the clamp
away from the valve.
2. Lift the top off the base being careful to not lose or stretch the o-ring. Remove the module by lifting up and out of the base.
NOTICE
The module is designed to seal inside the base so it may require a side to side or rocking motion while lifting
out. Do not pull the module by the gear mechanism. This can result in damage to the module.
How to close the water valve
1. Check the o-ring and groove for debris, and clean if necessary (this is a quad ring and is almost square, the height is slightly bigger than the width)
2. Replace the o-ring if it is stretched or damaged. The o-ring does not require any lubrication. Lubricating The o-ring can attract dirt and debris that
could prevent it from sealing. Never use petroleum jelly on plastic or rubber parts, as this will damage them.
3. Place the run/pause switch in the run position then install the valve top onto the base. The lid may be rotated in any direction for easy viewing of
pressure gauge.
4. Place the band clamp around the valve shells and put the clamp knob or 7/16 nut on the threaded bolt.
5. Tighten the knob/nut securely. Gently tap the band clamp starting opposite the knob/nut going around both sides. While periodically tightening the
knob/nut. Be careful not to over tighten the knob/nut.
6. Turn on the pump and inspect the water valve for leaks.
If you find leaks, turn off the pump and tighten the band clamp more. If it continues to leak, repeat the above steps. If this doesn’t work, replace the
o-ring.
