models are factory assem-
bled. During installation, remove the Salt Hole
Cover and set it aside to prevent damage. Check
the brinewell to be sure it is secured and vertical
(See Figure 11). Slide Faceplate Cover forward to
expose back valve assembly.
2. Lift the brine valve out of the brinewell. Make sure
the float stem is parallel to the stand tube so the
seals will seat properly during operation. Place the
brine valve back into the bottom of the brinewell and
reinstall the brinewell cover.
