*INSTRUMENTATION GAS IS MANDATORY FOR SUPPLY GAS*
Listed below are a series of steps to follow if the JATCO tank fails to dump properly.
The tank supply gas must have adequate
volume
and pressure. For best operation use 1” pipe for
the tank supply gas plumed as close to the tank as possible. Then reduce down to the tubing
connections
(C)
and
(
J
)
on the JATCO tank.
Be sure there is an adequate supply of volume and gas pressure (70-75 psi), to the inlet
connection on the level control
ler
(
C
)
, and (
2
00psi
max
) to the 3-way ball valve supply
(
J
)
. If
there is enough pressure at the supply connections, press down on the manual dump plunger
(F)
. This should cause the tank to manually dump, then vent through
(H)
when the cycle is
complete. If the JATCO tank fails to dump manually, remove pilot signal connector tubing to 3-
way ball valve’s actuator
(G)
to test for pilot signal from level control
(D)
. If the level control is
not sending a pilot signal to the actuator when depressing manual dump plunger, removal and or
inspection of level control will be necessary and proceed to next step. If pilot signal pressure is
present but actuator fails to operate, usually the pilot signal will escape from the actuator vent
orifice. This indicates O-ring failure in the actuator and replacement may be necessary. The
actuator does have a repair kit mainly consisting of O-rings.
Step #2 the side mount level controller has very few moving parts. If the valve is not operating
properly, remove and inspect travel of float arm. If no obstruction is visually present but the
float arm does not travel freely then removal of float arm is necessary. To remove float arm
carefully drive float arm retaining pin out with a hammer and punch. Then inspect magnet and
chamber for debris. If there is no obstruction with float arm assembly or tubing connections,
replacement may be necessary.
