Central Float & Collar Assembly:-
1. Position the central float on firm level ground.
2. Fit M10 x 45 bolts into the inserts around the upper perimeter of the central float and on
the upper inner edge of each collar. Tighten lightly.
3. Lift each collar up to the central float by first hooking the bottom inner lip of the collar
under the circumferential lip of the central float and then rotating the collar (use a
suitable lifting method for collar weight of around 60Kg).
4. With M10 bolts in the central float and collar aligned, slip a link over the two M10 bolts.
This temporarily holds the collar in a position where the upper lip of the collar prevents it
from falling.
5. Position all 8 collars similarly then loosely install M16 x 80 SS bolts with washers and
nuts (fit a Ø16 flat washer against each polyethylene part and a Ø16 spring washer
under the M16 nut.
6. Sequentially tighten all M16 bolts/nuts until firm. Remove all links and M10 bolts and set
aside.
Coat each nut & exposed bolt tail with an anti-seize compound or molybdenum disulphide grease
prior to assembly.
