Pre-Installation

1. Inspect all materials before accepting them. Hidden
damage can occur during shipment. If the unit is
found to be damaged after opening the box, return it
to the dealer from whom you bought it.
2. Before installation or operation carefully read all the
information provided with this product. Familiarize
yourself with specific details regarding installation
and use before attempting the installation.
There is a separate owner's manual for the system's pump
(publication FP937). Refer to that manual for information
about operation and maintenance of the pump that is
provided with this system.
NOTICE: This pumping unit is designed to lift sewage
up to a maximum of 15 feet total, including friction loss
from pipe and fittings. Do not use the Add-a-Jon in an
installation requiring that the pump lift sewage more
than 15 feet. Note that as lift increases, flow decreases;
the higher the lift, the longer it will take to pump out the
system's tank.
NOTICE: Floor Seal: Do not use a wax seal having a
flange that extends into the tank; it may cause clogging.
If a floor is installed over the tank, use a floor-flange-
extender seal-kit designed by the toilet manufacturer.
