• Motor/Gearbox
– A licensed electrician is needed to hard wire the motor/gear and variable speed drive (if
applicable). Agitator must run clockwise.
– Frequently check the oil level plug and add oil if needed. Food grade oil is recommended.
• Gaskets
– Only food grade gaskets can be used on all ports and valves. Gaskets should be inspected
regularly for cracks or worn areas. The gaskets must be replaced every 18 months for
moderate use or when worn or damaged.
• Clean In Place-Spray Ball Cleaning Nozzles
– Unless otherwise noted, your tank is equipped with (2) Food Grade spray ball nozzles.
Please see diagram further in this manual for step by step cleaning and maintenance
procedure.
• Leak Detection Valve Instructions and Maintenance
– Each valve purchase includes a food-grade gasket and a tube of PetroLube.
– To install; clean the area of the tank where the gasket is place. Apply PetroLube to both
sides of the gasket and place on to the tank bolts. Lubricate the inner guts of valve before
setting in place. The PetroLube is a food-grade lubricant and is allowed to have product
contact. Please see diagram further in this manual.

• Adjustable Ball Feet
– Any threads showing on the tank’s adjustable ball feet must be sealed with a food grade
sealant.
• Exterior Threaded Ports:
– When connecting any process lines or tubing to the tank’s threaded ports; use a Food
Grade Anti-Seize & Lubricating Compound on the threaded area. This will help resist acid,
chemical corrosion & oxidation. Follow manufactures instructions.
• Electric Airspace Heater

licensed electrician for proper installation.
