C. LOCATE WATER SOFTENER, AND CONNECT PIPES

[]MOVE THE SOFTENER INTO PLACE

Move the softener into place, onto a level and

smooth surface. If needed, put a piece of 3/4"

plywood, at least 17" x 20", under the tank. Then

put spacers under the plywood to level the soft- ener. Do not put shims or spacers directly under

the tank, without the plywood. The weight of the softener, when full of salt and water, may cause the tank to puncture or break at the shim or spacer.

To move the softener, grip under the ridge on the salt tank sidewall and carefully rock back and forth, into position.

_J_ CONNECT THE SOFTENER (Refer to your

plan drawing on page 2-3, and to page 2-4 or

2-5. Read the IMPORTANT note on page 3-3. Then, measure, cut (thread if needed) and put all pipe and fittings together up to the main water

pipe, or to the bypass valve(s) you installed on page 3-3.
