Install the Spray Nozzle Hose Assembly
1. | Remove right side panel and set aside. |
Hose clamp must be loosened and rotated aside to avoid knuckle contact when removing the plug. Tighten when finished.
2. | Remove the plug [1] from the water manifold. |
Figure 6
3. | Clean the port [1] to remove the old pipe sealant from the threads. |
Figure 7
4. | Apply a light bead of pipe sealant [1] beyond the second thread (away from the port) and completely around the barbed elbow. |
The pipe sealant is distributed across all threads as the barbed elbow is installed on the manifold. Wipe any excess sealant from the manifold.
Figure 8
5. | Install the barbed elbow in the manifold and tighten, making sure the barbed tip is facing downward. |
Do not tighten on the barbed tip. This will damage the barbs.
Figure 9
6. | Route the hose under the frame, through the access port [1] of the catcher tank support plate to the manifold. |
Figure 10
7. | Loosen the hose clamp and slide the hose [1] completely onto the barbed elbow. |
Use care when attaching the hose; hose clamps have sharp edges that can injure.
8. | Slide the hose clamp [1] half-way up the barbed nipple and tighten. |
Do not over tighten the hose clamp. Over tightening the hose clamp may damage the hose, causing leaks.
Figure 11
9. | Secure the hose along the inside of the frame with the cable ties. |
The water hose can rub and chafe the transducer cable and weaken or damage the connection. Always secure the water hose to keep it from rubbing against the transducer cable, and ensure the water hose does not pinch or trap other cables against the frame.

10. | Store the spray nozzle in the mounting bracket. |

11. | Turn ON the supply water and check for leaks at the manifold and spray nozzle, adjust or fix as needed. |
12. | Adjust the spray nozzle water flow as needed. |
13. | Reinstall the right side panel removed in step #1. |
