manganese must be removed before the water supply enters the AIRaiderTM System. Installation of
a sediment lter is highly recommended as a pre-treatment of the water supply. The lter should
be routinely cleaned or replaced.

It is recommended that a Flood Stop (P/N 28276, sold separately) be installed prior to use of
this system to provide point of leak detection, whereby a motorized ball valve will
automatically shut o the system and prevent potential overows should debris clog
a shut-o valve. A basement water alarm also should be installed to warn residents of
water tank overows.
SAFETY TIP: Do Not undertake any step for which
you are Not Qualied.

Note: Short horizontal pipe run from system outlet to pump inlet is optimal. If this
pump location is impractical because of space constraints the pump may be located
remotely at a higher location, but pump lift, pipe diameter, and equivalent pipe length
must comply with limits specied in the pump installation instructions.
Do not mount pump lower than shown as removal of the pump for
service may result in tank contents siphoning out onto the oor!

Do not aempt wiring on a live circuit.
WARNING: Power Supply Voltage must match the voltage marked on the
System Nameplate. Improper wiring may result in system damage.

If the air intake is located outside, the lter or intake must be
mounted high enough o the ground to prevent the drawing in
of snow, water and other contaminants. Do not locate the air
intake in the vicinity of vents from furnaces, barbecue grills, etc.

60PSI*butwillvary(PressureSwitcheson433-S50&433-S50Xfactorysetat38PSI-55PSIapprox.).
Do Not Aempt to Adjust the Pressure on 433-S50 or 433-S50X Systems, as this may result
in the pump not shuing down as it aempts to reach too high a set pressure. This problem
may not occur immediately but can occur later when a low voltage supply occurs due to high
electrical demand or other external factors. The factory pressure seing is deliberately less
than maximum to provide an allowance for a low voltage supply event. Continuous
operation of the pump when there is no water demand will overheat the system causing
the thermal overload to trip and consequent pump shut down.
Note: Priming process for the jet pump and pressure seings may vary with repressurization system.
