OPERATION
Step 1 –
Open the pressure balance valve.
Step 2 –
Open the vent valve.
Step 3 –
Turn the control knob to approximately
midrange. This will allow for increase and
decrease of system pressure. Alternatively,
the starting position of the knob may be at
the counterclockwise
or clockwise stop. This will allow for maximum pressure increase (knob at the counterclockwise stop) or maximum pressure
decrease (knob at clockwise stop).
Step 4 –
Close the vent valve.

Step 8 –
Turn control knob clockwise to increase
system pressure or counterclockwise to
decrease system pressure.
NOTE (Operation) –
During operation the pressure balance
valve will automatically open if the pres-
