STEP THREE
Use one of the 1/4”-20 x 3-1/2” Phillips Pan Head
Screws (Part 3), one 1/4” split washer (Part 4), and a
1/4” Flat Washer (Part 5) to secure the fl oat. Make
sure the split washer goes between the bolt head and
the fl at washer. Insert screw with washer through bolt
hole in fl oat.
Use one fl oat retaining clip (Part 6) under the top ring
of the cage. There is a U-shaped indent in the clip that

STEP FOUR
Turn secured assembly upside down so the top of the
fl oat (logo side) is face down on the fl at surface. Place
Bottom Screen (Part 10) onto the bottom side of the
fl oat. Make sure the wide opening of the screen is
against the fl oat and the 3 handles on the screen do not
interfere with the rope placements. Fit the 3 Bottom
Screen cushion (Part 9) underneath the screen and on
top of the 3 spacing bumps on the bottom of the fl oat.

Using a stainless steel Bottom Screen Clip (Part 11),
3/8”-16 x 1-3/8” Bolt (Part 7), two 3/8” Flat Washer
(Part 8), and 3/8”-16 Nylon Lock Nut (Part 12) to
secure the screen to the fl oat. Align a clip so the two
prongs straddle a wire on the screen. Insert bolt with
washer so the top of the bolt is facing the top of fl oat
(now in down position). Place the second washer and
the locking nut with nylon insert on the end of the bolt
and tighten using the 9/16” (14mm) Socket and Ratch-
et on the nut end and the 9/16” (14mm) Wrench on the
