Page 7 highlights

3. PLACE THE SHUT-OFF SERVO A. Turn your hot water heater's shut-off valve on and off several times. Depending on how long it's been since the shut-off valve was last used, there might be significant build-up (like mineral deposits) around the valve and handle, which makes the valve more difficult to close. Opening and closing the valve loosens this build-up and makes the valve easier to open and close. IMPORTANT: Leave the shut-off valve in its open position when you've finished opening it and closing it. B. Position the center of the servo motor over the center of the shut-off valve Servo motor Shut-off valve Carefully place the servo and brackets over your shut-off valve and inlet pipe as shown here. Close the brackets over your inlet pipe. Position the servo over your shut-off valve so that the center of the servo's motor is directly over the center of your hot water heater's shut-off valve as shown. The servo's centering ring should fit over the shut-off valve's nut (if it doesn't fit, see the section at the top of the next page). IMPORTANT: Keep the centers of the the servo motor and shut-off valve aligned throughout the installation and make sure they're aligned when you're finished. 7
