Aquatic Aeration Systems

Installation Instructions

Step 1:

Remove the Float and Motor Assembly from their boxes. Carefully inspect the product parts for any shipping damage. If any damage is observed, discontinue the installation and contact your AAS dealer immediately .

Step 2:

Slide Float over the entire Motor Assembly as shown in Fig. 1. Keep the Aquatic Aeration Systems logo on top. Slide the float all the way to the last welded joint. Note: Avoid any additional pressure to the motor end of the assembly while out of the water. This could damage electric motor parts

Step 4:

Using the 2 anchor ropes supplied, securely tie 1 end of each rope to the bolts. Note: Do not leave more than 2 inches of excess rope, due to the possibility the rope can enter the motor assembly, once it is in the water. Also if your lake or pond is deep it is very important that you use longer anchor ropes. You can purchase nylon rope at any local hardware store.

Step 5:

Tighten both clamp nuts securely with a wrench. Your aerator should look like Fig. 4. Note: Avoid any additional pressure to the motor end of the assembly while out of the water, this could damage electric motor parts

Step 6:

Slide Float down to clamp as shown in Fig. 5. Verify that the clamp bolts are tightly secure. Tie each of the other ends of the ropes to a cinderblock.

Step 7:

For easier installation, turn the aerator upside down as shown in Fig. 6. You can now float the aerator in the water in the same upside down position. Float the aerator to the desired location in your pond or lake. Very Important: Make certain that the depth of your desired location in your pond or lake can accommodate your display aerator. If you are not sure, please contact your AAS dealer for the minimum depth necessary for your model.

Step 8:

Once at your desired location, carefully flip the aerator over so that the "Aquatic Aeration Systems" logo is on top of the float and the motor is under water. Pull each anchor rope tight and drop that cinderblock into the water making sure that both cinderblocks are 180 degrees from each other. Once the blocks have dropped, make certain that the ropes are still tight. (Important: If the ropes are not tight there is a risk they will be pulled into the motor assembly)

Step 9:

Once all previous steps are completed, it is very important that the ring located above the float is firmly seated onto the top of the float. This will ensure the motor assembly is level. If ring will not seat firmly or the float doesn't appear level, make certain there is no tension on the power cord.

Step 10:

Have a qualified electrician install and wire electrical box/boxes)
