Correct Anchoring

Incorrect Anchoring

STEP TWO (ALTERNATE INSTALLATION)
In ponds where the water level fl uctuates signifi cantly,
you may need to suspend a small weight (30cm of
2.54cm galvanize pipe works well) at the mid-point of
the rope to take up any slack as the water level drops.
The weight should be light enough so the Unit can rise
as the water level rises. This can also help hide ropes
by sinking them further below the surface.

Maintenance Recommendations

Under No Circumstances should anyone enter

the water while a unit is operating. Turn Off and Dis-
connect electrical power prior to any Maintenance or
Servicing

RCD (Residual Current Device) or GFCI are a safety
feature that can also alert you to electrical leaks in the
equipment. It is extremely important to test the RCD
upon installation, each reinstallation, and monthly

This will run the

for

more than a few seconds on shore. If the rotation is
not correct. Disconnect and lock out power from the
control panel. Swap any two of the

wires in the panel. This will cause the motor to reverse
direction. Reapply power to the panel and verify the
rotation is clockwise.
Once rotation is verifi ed, with the power disconnected

Run the

one more time momentarily on

shore to ensure the housing was reinstalled correctly.
Disconnect and lock out power again and continue with
installation of the

Record the following data while the unit is operating
in the water under load:

Current unbalance should not exceed 5% at full load

Installation Instructions

STEP ONE
Use the ropes to position the Unit in the desired loca-
tion in the pond/lake (secure the cord near power
source to prevent it from being dragged into the wa-
ter). Anchor the ropes or secure them to the shoreline
so the ropes are free of slack, but not tight. To prevent
twisting of the unit due to torque, you should place
the anchor at least 3m from the fl oat for each meter of
depth (Ex. A 3m deep pond would require an anchor
9m horizontally from the fl oat.) For ease of removal,
you may choose to keep at least one anchor within
reach from shore, just below the water’s surface.
