POSITION SOFTENER INTO PLACE

Complete the following steps to position the softener.

1.Grip under the ridge on the salt tank sidewall.

2.Carefully rock back and forth into position.

3.Move the softener into position.

4.Place on 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 softener. See Fig. 14.

NOTE: Do not put shims or spacers directly under the tank, without the plywood. The weight of the sof- tener, when full of salt and water, may cause the tank to puncture or break at the shim or spacer.

Measure, cut (thread if needed) and put all pipe and fit- tings together up to the main water pipe, or to the bypass valve(s) you installed in the previous step.
