2. Place template on float cover. Align the dark line with the edge of the float
cover (refer to drawings on template).
• For example: For holes on right side of float cover, align the right side line
with the right edge of float cover (Figure 5.2).
• For holes on left side of float cover, align the left side line with the left edge
of float cover (Figure 5.2).
3. Mark the appropriate holes (C50 or C100) on both sides of the float cover.
4. Drill pilot holes using a 1/8” drill bit, then drill holes out to 1/4” diameter.
5. Insert rods through the plastic floating lids ensuring that the smooth side of
floating lid is upwards.
6. Thread a 1/4” nut onto the threaded ends of each bent stainless steel rod.
Run the nuts up to the ends of the thread.
7. Insert the threaded rod ends through the holes in the float cover and put nut
on the end of rod inside the float cover.
8. Adjust rod positions by turning nuts in or out so that the clearance between
the rod and float cover is approximately 5/8”.
9. Repeat the procedure for other side of float cover: Reinstall float cover onto
the waterer.
10. If floating lids get hung up on the ends of the pan, it may be necessary to slot
holes (Figure 5.2) and reposition the float cover.
11. If lids continue to hang up after centering float cover, call factory for special
instructions.
