Controls
a. Foot pedal. The foot pedal (figure 3-1) is used to raise
and lower
the cylinder in the tank.
To raise the cylinder, push down on
the foot
pedal far enough to allow the pedal lock to hold the pedal down.
To lower
the cylinder, push down on the foot pedal to release the pedal
lock and
allow the pedal to raise slowly.
b. Drain valve. The drain valve (figure 3-2) is used to empty the tank
after operation (para 3-11). Turn the valve handle counterclockwise to open
the valve and clockwise to close the valve.
NOTE:
The valve is designed so that only slight pressure on the diaphragm,
inside the valve, is necessary to shut off the flow of water.
Excessive tightening will damage the diaphragm.
