PRIOR TO INSTALLATION:

1. Read all installation instructions carefully, before proceeding.

2. Carefully remove fixture from packaging, preventing scratching or damage.

3. Unit is provided with six (6) AA Alkaline Batteries.

4. Provide mounting surface, sufficient to support the fixture and loads on the fixture. Provide 30” square x 6”
deep minimum concrete slab, provided by others to securely anchor fixture.

5. Provide rough-ins as shown on the roughing-in and dimensional drawing, including Water Supply, Drain Pipe
and Gravel Drain Well. (See page 2 for rough-in details)

6. Completely flush water supply lines of all foreign debris, before connecting to the fixture.

INSTALLATION: (see drainage & mounting roughing-in pg2)

1. Locate the unit over rough-ins on the Mounting Pad, mark mounting holes in base flange.

2. Tilt the unit down on its side, next to the mounting location. Install 1/2”-13 Drop-In Anchors. Optional -IAP (In­Ground Anchor Plate) which is cast into the concrete, is available.

3. Feed the 7/8” OD Flexible Drain Tube into the open ended Drain Tube. Connect the 1/2” Male NPT Fitting to a
potable water supply. Then tilt the unit into place, making sure that the Tubing is not pinched or kinked. Secure
the Base Flange to the Mounting Pad with provided hardware.

4. Connect the Battery Pack to matching Battery Wire Terminals. When connected the unit is active.

5. Test for leaks and proper operation, and then install the Access Panel.

START UP:

Air within the Bottle Filler System or the structure supply piping will cause an irregular spout outlet stream until
purged out by incoming water. Press and hold Pushbutton until steady water stream is achieved.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS:

Hand operation: Hold container to be filled just below the Filler Tube in the center of the unit, then push

Pushbutton. When the container is almost filled, release the Pushbutton.

Sensor Operation: Hold container to be filled just below the Sensor in the center of the Filler Spout and then
move the container upward and water flow will start automatically. When the container is almost filled, lower the
container below the Sensor until the water stops flowing (see label on the Bottle Filler).
