3. PRESSURIZATION OF A WEAKENED DAMAGED OR CORRODED UNIT CAN CAUSE AN EXPLOSION POSSIBLY CAUSING SERIOUS OR FATAL PERSONAL INJURY AND OR PROPERTY DAMAGE If pressure adjustments are necessary because of changes in inlet pressure check the condition of the unit first to make sure there is no corrosion of the tank or any connected lines or fittings Take appropriate precautions Never adjust the pressure if water is leaking from the air stem Replace any damaged or corroded tank Also air loss is an indication that damage corrosion or weakening of the unit may have occurred and it should not be re pressurized Maintenance Your AMTROL Pressuriser unit including the pump must be periodically inspected by an experienced professional for signs of damage corrosion and leaking The pump should be checked to ensure it is turning on and off at the appropriate cut in and cut out points At a minimum after installation a thorough inspection of all components should take place annually However note that units in settings with frequent use where corrosion high humidity or aggressive water is more likely to occur and as the unit ages should be inspected more frequently Warranty Two 2 Year Limited Warranty Visit www amtrol com for complete warranty details Troubleshooting The Guardian CP incorporates built in diagnostics If the AMTROL Pressuriser is not functioning properly or is inoperable look for a error code example E1
