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 your finger so that the ring is in 1/4" 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 kit
is available (54300968).
If you encounter problems after hooking
up your drinker, please refer to the trouble
shooting chart for information on possible
solutions.
