water level
8. If the water level is too high, remove enough water from the reservoir to
allow the float valve to automatically fill and shut off the water. This will
verify that your final adjustment is correct.
9. Shut off the water supply and remove all water from the reservoir.
10. Mount the humidifier according to Options A, B or C, shown on pages 8-10.
11. Check the two compression fittings—one at the saddle valve, the other at
the float valve. Stop any leakage by tightening the fittings.
12. Connect the humidifier’s overflow provision to a suitable waste drain.
• A standard garden hose or a 3/8" N.P.T. male fitting (not supplied) can
be attached to the overflow fitting.
• Provide support at many points along the hose to prevent kinks—
particularly near any heat source.
13. Turn the water to the humidifier on. The float valve should shut the water
off when the pan is filled to 2-3/8".
14. Make sure the humidifier is plugged into a powered outlet.
15. Adjust the compensating humidistat according to instructions provided with
the unit.
CAUTION
: To prevent valve seat damage, never adjust the humidi-
fier’s water level without supporting the float arm. Make adjustments
in small increments.
• To raise the water level, push down in the center of the float arm (see
Figure 7-A, below).
• To lower the water level, hold the float on the bottom of the reservoir
with one hand and pull up on the center of the float arm with the other
hand (see Figure 7-B, below).
