Steps in Assembling Tuffa Tanks
1. Place the top of the Tank over the body making sure that the top does not fall down inside the tank body. If necessary, place a small strip of timber across the tank and allow the top to rest on the timber.
2. Align the flat indent sections making sure that the hole in the top is aligned with the hole in the tank body. IMPORTANT: Please ensure the number on the tank corresponds with the number on the lid before assembling.
3. Push the top down in position and place one of the screws provided in the hole and ensure that it passes through the hole in the body and put a nut and washer on the inside. If the holes are not aligned, a small screwdriver or piece of steel can be used to ensure that the holes are aligned.
4. After the screw is in position, begin pushing the top down over the wall of the body, working to the left and to the right of the flat indent section.
5. Use thin pieces of timber to stretch the top over the wall of the tank and push down on the top so that it clips over the bubble of the tank wall.
6. Continue stretching the TOP over the wall, working from left and then to the right until the lid can be completely pulled down over the bubble on the tank wall.
7. Begin inserting screws in each of the holes around the bubble. A washer should be placed under the head of each screw. A nut and a washer are to be screwed on the inside of the tank. The nut should be tightened firmly. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN
8. The water strainer should be placed in position in the opening provided.
9. The PVC overflow fitting should be screwed into the overflow outlet. Be sure not to over-tighten the fitting or damage the insect mesh.
10. Each TUFFA Tank is provided with two outlets of brass inserts. A plastic plug is provided in the tank kit and is to be used to plug whichever outlet is not required.
