Corresponding turnbuckle connections on the 377 lever are designated by the dimension “L”. dimension
“L” is the distance in inches from the center of the rocker arm to the point where the turnbuckle connects
to the 377 lever. (See diagrams and tables) The 377 lever may be moved in the rocker arm if the hole for the
turnbuckle connection is not present at dimension “L”. To move the 377 lever loosen the lever capscrew and
slide the lever until a hole is in the correct location. Finally to facilitate the turnbuckle connection the lever
valve lever may be rotated 360 o around the valve stem. To rotate the lever loosen the yoke locknut, lift the
lever slightly, and turn the lever to the desired position. Tighten the locknut to hold the lever in position. The
turnbuckle must then be adjusted so the clevises line up with the levers.
BEFORE mOUNTiNG ThE LEvER vALvE AND 377
before mounting the Lever Valve and 377 the water level in the tank must be at least 19 inches below the
maximum desired level. do not apply water pressure to the Lever Valve inlet until you are ready to test it.
mOUNT ThE 377
mount the 377 according to the InSTALLATIon guIdELInES..
mOUNT ThE LEvER vALvE
mount the 326L or 322L Lever Valve according to the InSTALLATIon guIdELInES.
CONNECT ThE TURNBUCkLE
remove the weights from the levers. move the lever valve lever full up and down to break the packing friction
so the lever moves smoothly. Connect the turnbuckle to the correct hole on the lever valve lever. Push the
end of the 377 lever farthest away from the float ball down until you hear the float ball hit the top of the
377. With the lever valve lever down as far as it will go (horizontal) for rising lever opens valve applications
or up as far as it will go (horizontal) for rising lever closes valve applications adjust the turnbuckle length
and connect the turnbuckle to the 377 lever at the correct dimension “L”. Shorten the turnbuckle so the
float ball just misses hitting the top of the 377 (you do not hear it hit the top). make sure that the levers and
turnbuckle move freely without binding or locking up then tighten the turnbuckle jamnuts.
POSiTiON ThE wEiGhTS
Position the weights as necessary on the levers to balance the assembly. readjust the weights until the lever
valve lever just moves on its own from horizontal to full up for rising lever opens valve applications or from
horizontal to full down for rising lever closes valve applications. Tighten the weight capscrews to hold the
weights in position. (you may only need one weight)
TEST ThE LEvER vALvE AND 377
Apply water pressure to the lever valve inlet. Water should pass through the Lever Valve and enter the tank.
The water level in the tank should rise to the maximum desired level then the 377 should close the lever
valve stopping the flow of water into the tank.
