1.
Prior to installing the inFlow™ ACE to the pipeline, the external sand relief and sample outlet flexline must be installed.
DO NOT install or operate the unit without first installing the external sand relief and sample outlet flexline. The external sand
relief is a safety relief valve required for safe installation and operation of the unit. Failure to install the external sand relief and
sample outlet flexline prior to installation and operation could damage the unit, injure the operator, or allow product to free

collection head from turning.
11.
Align the alignment indicator rod on the lock collar with the opening in the collection head. This should bring the lock
