10.5 PANEL MOUNTED ACCESSORIES
Hale panel mounted accessories are designed with consideration given for proper
drainage to prevent freezing. Due to the symmetry of the design, it is possible to
install some accessories incorrectly - upside down. To insure proper installation,
review the following:
 Panel mounted accessory devices must be installed above the level of the pump
or a drain must be installed at the low point in the line. (Do not connect to the mas-
ter drain.)
 All tubing connectors should be on the bottom of the device or pointed down to
avoid traps and to provide natural drainage.Tubing should be installed with the
shortest, most direct route and should not be “teed” for another purpose. No loops
or bends that could create water traps should be allowed as an ice filled low spot
could result in a safety device malfunction.
 All devices are designed to operate with the available water through 3/8” (9.5mm)
ID tubing. If plastic or nylon tubing is being used that has a smaller ID, caution
should be exercised since it could adversely affect the reaction time of the device.
10.6 FLUID LEVELS
To meet various shipping regulations, ALL fluids within the pump and gearbox assem-
blies (excluding the Auto-Lube) are drained prior to shipping from the factory.
