Next remove the four screws from the rim of the 

basin, illustration 4.

You can now remove the basin with the heat pad 

assembly by lifting up on the rim of the basin 

opposite of the drain, illustration 5.

You will now have three pieces, the 

fl

 oat cover 

assembly, the basin assembly and the base 

assembly.
If you are using expandable anchor bolts, 

proceed as follows:  Center the drinker base 

assembly on the pad and transfer the mounting 

hole locations to the pad, illustration 6.

Following these marks drill four 3/8” dia. x 2” 

deep holes in the concrete platform.  Turn the 

drinker on its side and apply caulking around 

the bottom outer edge and center opening.  

Make sure to apply enough caulking to seal 

any irregularities between the drinker and the 

platform, see Illustration # 7.

Secure the drinker base to pad using four 3/8” 

x 4” expandable anchor bolts with 3/8” fender 

washer (purchased locally), 
While the basin is off, it is good time to install 

the ¾” hose barb connection to the riser pipe.  

Reinstall the basin assembly to the base and 

remove the side access door.  You can leave the 

fl

 oat cover off until the water level is adjusted. 

Electrical Connections
NOTE:

 Electrical connections should be 

made by a quali

fi

 ed electrician and all local 

codes need to be followed.  The heating pad 

is 220 watt, 120 volt  AC, 1.8 amp unit.  It is 

thermostatically controlled so it only operates 

when there is a demand for heat.  It is 

recommended that you shut off the power to the 

drinker during warm weather when heat is not 

required.
A 120 volts of AC power that is grounded and 

contains Ground Fault Circuit Interruption (GFCI) 

is required to operate this drinker.  Normally, 

a 15 amp power supply is used to power the 

drinker.  

CAUTION:

  This drinker contains live 

electrical components, disconnect the power 

before servicing.
There are three connections and a ground that 

are required to connect your drinker.  These 

connections are to be made with the three 

supplied DRYCON wire nuts.  These wire
