Limited Warranty
Manufacturer warrants, to the purchaser and subsequent owner during
the warranty period, every new product to be free from defects in mate-
rial and workmanship under normal use and service, when properly
used and maintained, for a period of one year from date of purchase
by the end user, or 18 months from date of original manufacture of the
product, whichever comes first. Parts that fail within the warranty period,
one year from date of purchase by the end user, or 18 months from
the date of original manufacture of the product, whichever comes first,
that inspections determine to be defective in material or workmanship,
will be repaired, replaced or remanufactured at manufacturer's option,
provided however, that by so doing we will not be obligated to replace
an entire assembly, the entire mechanism or the complete unit. No
allowance will be made for shipping charges, damages, labor or other
charges that may occur due to product failure, repair or replacement.
This warranty does not apply to and there shall be no warranty for
any material or product that has been disassembled without prior ap-
proval of manufacturer, subjected to misuse, misapplication, neglect,
alteration, accident or act of God; that has not been installed, operated
or maintained in accordance with manufacturer's installation instruc-
tions; that has been exposed to outside substances including but not
limited to the following: sand, gravel, cement, mud, tar, hydrocarbons,
hydrocarbon derivatives (oil, gasoline, solvents, etc.), or other abrasive
or corrosive substances, wash towels or feminine sanitary products,
etc. in all pumping applications. The warranty set out in the paragraph
above is in lieu of all other warranties expressed or implied; and we do
not authorize any representative or other person to assume for us any
other liability in connection with our products.

General Instructions
1. Installation must comply with all applicable electric codes, plumbing
codes and health department regulations, including, but not limited
to, the National Electrical Code, local, regional and/or state plumbing
codes, etc.
2. If the Clarus Environmental Turbine STEP System is being retrofitted
into an existing septic system, it will be necessary to pump and clean
out the septic tank prior to installing. Before pumping, measure down
from the top of the septic tank to the liquid level (not the scum layer)
and record in the chart (see page 4). The top of the septic tank will
become the reference plane for measuring to correctly install your
system.
3. The inlet pipe is typically 3" above the outlet pipe. On a conventional
gravity system, once the system is pumped and cleaned, check the
dimensions from the top of the septic tank to the bottom of the inlet
and outlet pipes. Record in the chart (see page 4). Each system
varies! Therefore, don't assume a 3" difference between the inlet
and outlet.
4. An 18" hole is required in the top of the septic tank to install the STEP
system. If the hole in your septic tank is less than 18", provision must
be made to enlarge the hole to 18" (you may have to change the lid
of the septic tank).
5. If your system is not equipped with a riser, install a new Clarus
Environmental 24" or 30" diameter riser on the outlet end of the
septic tank. Follow the installation instructions provided with the
riser.
6. Unpack the STEP system from the carton. Remove everything
from the pump vault: filter pack, float tree, discharge assembly and
instructions/hardware pack.
7. If necessary, cut a single inlet hole in the tank inlet tube (see page
11).
8. Install the two 16" long 1" schedule 80 PVC hanger pipes through
the rim holes in the pump vault and lower the pump system through
the riser and into the septic tank opening (see Fig. 1). In most cases,
the pump vault will be suspended in the septic tank by the pipe
hangers. If the septic tank is shallow, the pump vault may rest on
the tank floor. The system is designed to operate properly in either
case.
9. Install the piping from the lateral field to the outside of the riser on
the septic tank.
