   clamp ring. 

■ Insert the prepared pipe into the screw connection until its 
   stop is reached.

■  Use open-ended wrench to tighten clamp ring screw 
     connection (approx. 33 Ft lb),  re-tighten if necessary.

■ When tightening the clamp ring screw connection, use two 
    wrenches–using one wrench to prevent the pumping station 
    from turning.

■  All pre-fitted solar station screw connections are firmly 
   tightened in the factory so that they do not need to be 
     retightened.

using AFM 34 flat seals, s = 2mm.

  order to operate the solar system (turn the red and blue 
  thermometer handles counter-clockwise until the stop is
