with all applicable state, provincial, and local statutes,
codes and ordinances. Non-compliant installation
may result in product failure, property damage, and/or

system. Make sure all air pressure has been released
before removing tank flanges.
5. BE SURE your pump electrical circuit is
properlygrounded.
6. Remove bleeder orifices, air volume controls or other
air charging devices in existing system.
Risk of explosion. To prevent possible
serious or fatal in jury and/or damage to equipment,
system pressure must be less than 873 kilo pascals
(kPa)(125 pounds per square inch gauge (psig)) under
any circumstances. Failure to follow this instruction can
result in tank explosion. If system discharge pressure can
exceed 873 kPa (125psig), install a relief valve capable
of passing the full pump volume at 873 kPa (125psig).
Install relief valve in pump supply line to tank, as close
to tank as possible.
Risk of freezing. To avoid possible
equipment failure, severe injury, and property damage,
do not allow pump, tank, or piping system to freeze.
General Safety
All tanks are factory pre-charged with air. When
installing tank, adjust pre-charge to 14 kPa (2 psig) below
pump cut-in pressure setting. To do this, bleed air from or
add air to the valve on top of the tank.
NOTICE Always set pre-charge with NO WATER in tank.
