STEP 5
Closing Speed Flow Adjustment (located on the lower chamber):
While free flow goes into the upper chamber, the closing speed
flow control restricts flow out of the lower chamber of the main
valve.
If valve closing is too slow, turn the adjustment screw OUT, coun-
terclockwise, increasing the rate of closing (See Figure 2B).
STEP 6
When pump demand is satisfied, pump will continue to operate
as the main valve opens. To open main valve, de-energize the
solenoid, checking that the main valve opens.
STEP 7
Opening Speed Needle Valve Adjustment (located on the upper
chamber): While free flow goes into the lower chamber, the
Opening speed flow control restricts flow out of the upper cham-
ber of the main valve.
If valve opening is too slow, turn the adjustment screw OUT,
counterclockwise, increasing the rate of opening.
If valve opening is too quick, turn the adjustment screw IN, clock-
wise, decreasing the rate of opening (See Figure 2A).
STEP 8
At valve full open position deep well pump will stop. Adjust limit
switch collar to final position to ensure positive actuation of limit
switch electrical contact, if necessary, by sliding up/down to loca-
tion (See Figure 3).
