Changing The Direction Of The Hydrant Head

• Loosen the Safety Flange Bolts until they are one turn looser than finger tight.
• Turn the Operating Nut in the opening direction No More Than One-Half turn. This raises the Upper Barrel only enough to allow it to turn.
• Rotate the Upper Barrel and Operating Nut TOGETHER in the closing direction until either the Nozzles are facing correctly, or the Upper Barrel will no longer turn.
     Do not allow the top of the Lower Barrel to slip out of the recessed area
     in the bottom of the Upper Barrel.
• Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the Nozzles are properly faced.
• Without allowing the Upper Barrel to turn from its desired position, turn the Operating Nut in the closing direction until it is tight.
• Make sure Safety Flange fits snugly against the Lower Barrel and retighten bolts to approximately 50 ft.-lbs.  DO NOT OVER TORQUE.
• Turn the Operating Nut in the closing direction to make sure the Main Valve is closed tightly, then turn in opening direction approximately 1/4 turn to relieve tension on the operating mechanism.
