2MOVE THE SOFTENER ASSEMBLY INTO INSTALLATION POSITION

Before sliding softener in position, be sure the installation surface is level and smooth. Sharp objects under the tank may puncture it. If needed, place the tank on a section of 3/4″ thick (minimum) plywood. Then, place shims under the plywood as needed to level the softener. Slide softener into position.
