1.0 PREFACE
Thismanual has been written to present the basic installa-
tionandoperationalcharacteristicsoftheAlligatorAllocator
Model 100. This manual applies, in its entirety, to cur-
rent units.
Guidelines will be suggested in reference to the preferred
method of installation, however, the variety of equipment
and the surrounding physical environment will dictate the
actual installation of the Alligator Allocator.
WARNING - These installation and servicing in-
structions are for use by qualified personnel
only. The installation must be made in accor-
dance with local plumbing codes.
2.0 INTRODUCTION
TheAlligator Allocator is a manual allocation system which
is easy to install and operate. This system offers manual
allocation control to dispense two different concentrated
products from the shipping container into a use container.
Operation of the system is controlled by the manual push
buttons on the front of the dispenser. Dispensing duration
is maintained as long as the push buttons are depressed.
The only required utility for operation is a source of air.
Electricity and water are not needed!
Depressingthepalmbutton also appliesairpressure to the
pressure switches which closes the circuit to run the Time
Totalizer.TheTimeTotalizershaveaaninternalbattery,no
external power is needed.

1. Remove the components of the Alligator Allocator
system from the shipping containers. Connect the
pressure regulator assembly to the Alligator Allocator.
2. Mountthesystemtothewall,adjacenttotheairsupply,
using the mounting hardware provided in the installa-
tion kit.
Refer to the Installation Diagram.
Note: For ease of operation the palm buttons of the
dispenser should be 4 to 5 feet (1.2 to 1.5 meters)
above the floor.
3. Place anti-siphon valves into holder. Refer to Figure 1.
Note: The bracket is captive. To install the anti-
siphon valves turn the knurled knob in front of the
anti-siphon valve holder so the bracket is loose.
Install the anti-siphon valves and tighten bracket
untilthevalvesaresecuredintheanti-siphonvalve
holder.
4. Connect the air, suction, discharge and use container
drain tube per the installation diagram.

should come on.
4. Depress each of the palm buttons, one at a time, to
buttons are depressed, air flows thru the product con-
trol valves to the product pumps. Air also is applied to
the pressure switches which close the circuit to the
Time Totalizers. The Time Totalizers have internal
batteries therefore no external power is needed.
Note: Adjust the air regulator on the dispenser to a
flow rate and pump speed you are comfortable
with.
