Note: When adding 14A particles to a new bath you can use the following guide to achieve a
0.2 concentration. 1 level scoop of 14A particles per 1 gallon of Carrier II. NOTE: DO NOT
ADD ALL THE PARTILCES ALL AT ONCE. This will cause particles to accumulate in the bot-
tom of the tank. Allow particles to mix for 20–30 minutes, then test concentration per instruc-
tions.
7. Connect the pump plug to the pump receptacle located on the right side of the Controls
Cabinet. NOTE: Never run the pump dry! Prior to turning on power to unit, Open the Controls
Cabinet and turn on switch 6Q1 (if not already on). This will allow the pump to turn on auto-
matically when the power is turned on to the unit.
