Place the unit on a level surface. A level
surface is required for the unit to operate and
drain properly. If a slanted drain board is used,

A 1/2" I.P.S. hose barb is supplied for
connecting the unit to a lab faucet with a user
supplied rubber hose. This hose barb may be
removed for alternate forms of water
connection. NOTE: Some states require the
use of an approved vacuum breaker in the
water supply line. Please consult your local
plumbing codes.
3. A 1” I.P.S. thread is provided on the drain port
to allow permanent connection of a drain line if
desired. Any such drain line must be capable
of handling the three gallons of water that are
instantly released during washing action. The
drain must not back up during water release.
