Attach 3 cable ties to top ring equally spaced Overlap vertical edges Attach 3 cable ties 2 inch overlap Flip mesh and screen assembly over and use remaining cable ties to secure mesh to small bottom diameter of the stainless steel ring. Attach 2 cable ties to bottom ring equally spaced 1 inch overlap Place mesh cone on flat surface with small diameter at bottom. Insert existing stainless steel screen centered inside mesh cone with approximately 2 inches of mesh overlap to the top ring of the screen.
so the motor housing (can) passes through the large hole in the center of the screen. Remove the center three 3/8” Lock Nuts from the 9” Bolts and place the Bottom Screen Clips (Part #B12) over the bolts as shown. The power cord can be slid under the bottom screen between the float and screen where two float sections come together before the 3/8” Lock Nuts are replaced. Replace the three inside Lock Nuts and tighten all 3/8” Lock Nuts using the 9/16” wrench and socket.
Nozzle Options & Pattern Sizes NOTE: Pattern sizes listed are approximate in feet. Variations in voltage caused by regional electrical differences or voltage drop due to long power cords may result in reduced pattern sizes. • All five (or six) nozzles are included with the package. • The Linden, Willow, and Juniper nozzles use the 3/8” x 4” bolt. • The Sequoia (5.1JF only) uses the 3/8” x 2.5” bolt. • The Redwood nozzle must have the Y Insert installed prior to nozzle placement.
The Birch display does not use a nozzle or bolt. It is the aerator unit running without any nozzle and allows for the best flow rate and oxygen transfer!

Installation Instructions STEP TEN Before installing 3 phase units (2.3, 3.3, 5.3, 7.3) into the pond, please refer to 3 phase startup procedure. Use the ropes to position the aerator in the desired location in the pond/lake. 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 3 feet from the float for each foot of depth (Ex.
service (L1, L2, N, & G) and must be fed with a power circuit protected by a circuit breaker or a fused disconnect switch to provide circuit protection and a disconnection means. C-85 panel requires at least a 30amp protected circuit feeding the panel. C-95 panel requires at least a 40amp protected circuit feeding the panel. Connect your power feed as detailed in the wiring diagram provided with this panel.

C85 / C95 non-metallic and 3 Phase Control Panel Timer TIME CLOCK SETTING To set the current time, turn the inner dial clockwise. Do not set the time by rotating “outer” dial. Turn the minute hand or small plastic inner dial clockwise until the time of day on the outer dial is aligned with the triangle marker on the inner dial (two o’clock position). Example for 10:00 AM. Turn the minute hand clockwise until 10:00 AM is aligned with the triangle on the inner dial.
