MAKE THESE INITIAL CHECKS FIRST

Does the time display show the correct time of day?

--If display is blank, check power source to the softener.

hours. The softener resumes normal operation

but regenerations occur at the wrong time (page 1-3).

--If an error code (Example: Err3) shows in the

faceplate display, go to AUTOMATIC ELEC-

TRONIC DIAGNOSTICS (page 5-2).

_1] Plumbing bypass valve(s) must be fully in ser- vice position.

_1_ The inlet and outlet pipes must connect to the softener inlet and outlet respectively.

_The valve drain hose must be free of kinks and

sharp bends, and not elevated over 8 ft. above the floor.

Remove the top cover and salt tank cover.

EIs there salt in the storage tank?

Is the brine tubing connected? (See water flow

diagrams, page 5-6).

ting for the household's water supply. (Make a

hardness test of the raw water and compare with

the hardness setting. Also test a soft water sam-

ple to verify if a problem exists.) Press the SE-

LECT 1 button twice more to return to present time in the display.
