Handler I, II & III Operator’s Manual - October 2008

Plumbing Package 

Assembly

(Handler 3)

Overview

Although not very common, some customers prefer to purchase 
and use the Handler as an induction system rather than an educ-
tion system.  In the induction system the venturi is removed and 
the pump is used to both pressurize the system when adding 
fresh water through agitation and when rinsing containers with 
fresh water, and to remove mix liquids and concentrated chemi-
cal solutions from the tank.  This appendix to the Handler I, II 
& III manual gives assembly and operational instructions for 
the Handler III plumbing package systems offered by Focus 
Industries.
