Water Hookup and Float Adjustment
When cutting the flex hose, leave a little extra
length to allow for movement of the platform
during cold weather. However, do not leave too
much length or the hose will kink and restrict the
water flow. Slide the hose over the barb and
secure it with the hose clamp. Make sure all
connections are tight.
Insert the foam sealing ring coneside first from
the outside of the drinker. Push the edges of the
ring with finger so that the ring is in a quarter of
an inch past the rim. The drain plug is installed in
the end of the drain spout from the outside of the
drinker. See Illustrations #8 & 9).
The water can now be turned on and the float
level set.
Adjust the float by using the two thumb screws.
Set the float to maintain a water level in the
trough of 1" to 1½" below the top of the rim of the
trough. See illustration 10.
Check all connections for leaks and if none are
present the power can be turned on to the unit
and the access door installed.
Note: Your drinker is equipped with a BL valve
that is easy to clean and adjust. If low water
pressure conditions exist and a higher flow rate is
desired, a larger inlet is available (3888247).
If you encounter problems after hooking up your
drinker, please refer to the trouble shooting chart
for information on possible solutions.
