Read my lips... "Hit the red knob" If you have used them then you would know. Also you cannot open both paddles fully at the start, you pick which one you want to open first - it goes half way up, then when some water is in it goes fully up, then you can open the other side, and it does the same - half way up and finally fully up. Once you have a level, then open gates (paddles go straight down as soon as the gates start opening) Ron Jones Process Safety & Development Specialist Don't repeat history, unreported chemical lab/plant near missesa at http://www.crhf.org.uk Only two things are certain: The universe and human stupidity; and I'm not certain about the universe. ~ Albert Einstein Yahoo!
