SECTION1BEFORE INSTALLING CHECKS & TESTS

B. UNPACKING THE WATER SOFTENER

Directions for unpacking the softener are on the top

of the shipping carton. This manual, and the own-

er's manual, were on the small parts cardboard

packing piece. You will need the small parts to install the softener. So you don't lose any parts, keep

them on the cardboard piece until you are ready to

use them. Remove all other cardboard pieces, foam

packings, tapes, etc. from the softener and discard.

Check the softener for shipping damage. If you find damage, report it to your Sears store.

Use care when handling the softener. DO NOT turn

upside-down. DO NOT drop, or set on sharp objects that could make a hole in the bottom. The water soft-

ener is heavy and to avoid damage, or personal inju- ry, do not try to lift it or move more than necessary. See page 3-4, when you are ready to move it into

installation position.
