Go to the products tab. It will show you an animated graphic of how it should operate.

The conductors should be run through the knockout that are easily seen in the (your) second pic.

In this jurisdiction the tanks are vented through the sewer drains and up through the roof vent.
Take a look at the Private sewer system course at http://www.nachi.org/septic-course.htm It only takes 10 hours to do it. Enjoy!
