WARNING

To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury, including
splashing in the eyes or on the skin, or injury from
moving parts, which can result if the tank pressure
is not fully relieved, always follow this procedure
before opening the pressure tank cover or fill port.

1. Shut off the air supply to the tank by closing the air
inlet valve (A). Refer to Fig. 2.

2. Open the drain cock fitting (B) by turning it
counterclockwise.

3. Wait until there is no air escaping through the
fitting before removing the cover or opening the fill
port.

4. Leave the drain cock fitting open until you have
reinstalled the cover or filler cap.

Grounding

Proper grounding is an essential part of maintaining a
safe system.

To reduce the risk of static sparking, all electrically
conductive objects or devices must be properly
grounded. Check your local electrical code for detailed
grounding instructions for your area and type of
equipment.

To ground the agitator, connect one end of the
ground wire (A) to the ground connector (B) on agitator
mounting bracket. See Fig. 1. Connect the other end
of the ground wire to a true earth ground.

For a ground wire and clamp, order
