Float Assembly

NO TOOLS REQUIRED

STEP 1: 

Locate one float, one float arm, one 

float bracket, and 2 float pin sets.  Observe 

that there are two slots on the top of the float 

which fit around the float arm.  One slot runs 

left and right, the other runs front to back.  If 

float pins are in the slots, remove them.

STEP 2: 

 Orientate the float so that it will fit 

around the float arm when the float is raised 

into place.

STEP 3:

  Place the float plate into float slot 1 

furthest from the core unit assembly aligning 

the holes of the float slot with the small holes 

on the float plate (see photo).

STEP 4:

  Once the float plate is in place on 

the float, raise the float up fitting it into the float 

arm.  Use the float pins to secure the float to 

the float arm.

STEP 5:

  Place hairpins in each float pin to 

secure it and prevent the pin from coming out.

STEP 6:

  Repeat Steps 1 through 5 for the 

other two floats.

NOTE:

 The float plate may not be used on one 

of the three floats.

After familiarizing yourself with all the components and gathering the necessary tools, you are ready 
for setting up the Machine.  Find a location where you have approximately 20 ft of working space near 
the reservoir that the Machine will be put in (The less distance you have to move the fully assembled 
machine, the better).  Follow these steps to prepare the Machine before floating it in the water:
