A.R.T. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

After the piping sump base has been installed and all product piping and electrical runs are completed, the following steps can easily be accomplished to provide the exact burial depth requirements.

1.)  Determine the exact final grade over the tanks using either a level or transit.

2.)  Pull a string line across excavation and measure from string to the bottom of
      the groove located in the sump canopy. (See Figure 1)

3.)  Take a measurement, subtract 6", and this will be the measurement to cut
      the Adjustable Riser.

     cover has a reinforcement
     brace do not forget to
     subtract
the height of the
     brace from the height of
     the Adjustable Riser.
     (See Figure 2)

5.)  Measuring from the top to the bottom of the Adjustable Riser at the appropriate
      height, make a mark for cutting.  You are now ready to cut the riser using a Jig
      Saw, Skil Saw or Reciprocating Saw.
Do not cut Adjustable Riser less than 3" in
      height.

      sandpaper or wire grinding
      wheel, thoroughly sand the
      bottom 1-1/2" of the riser
      interior and exterior surfaces
      and the entire groove of the
      sump canopy.  Clean entire
      area to be bonded of both
      riser and canopy. with Acetone
      or a good grade of paint
      thinner. (See Figure 3)

  7.)  Dry fit parts to check for proper height, before mixing epoxy.

  8.)  Mix the E132AR A.R.T. Epoxy kit as per its labeled instructions.

  9.)  Pour entire contents of epoxy kit into the groove of the canopy.  Note:  If sump base
        is not level, move canopy to a level surface before pouring.  (Epoxy is self-leveling.)

10.)  Position the Adjustable Riser into the Epoxy filled groove and check for level.  Epoxy
        will cure in about twenty (20) minutes,
@ 70 degrees, from time of mixing.
