• Shovel or Post Hole Digger
• (2) 7/16” open end wrenches
• (2) 1/2” open end wrenches

PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION
1. Determine an installation location for the solar panel and compressor
enclosure. The solar panel must have an unobstructed view of
the sun (solar south for northern hemisphere; solar north for southern
hemisphere) and be free from shadows of nearby objects throughout
the day. The compressor enclosure will need a level site away
from everyday activity. If you desire to hide the compressor enclosure
with landscape bushes, shrubs, or plantings, it is necessary to provide
adequate clearance between these and the compressor enclosure for
proper cooling.
DO NOT block the air intake holes.
CAUTION: The compressor enclosure must be located a safe
distance from the ponds edge, standing water, flooding and
irrigation sprinklers.
2. Consult top pole mount installation instructions to determine what
length of 4” SCH 40 steel pole will be needed. The solar pole
mounting pole should be secured with concrete. Allow 24 hours for
the concrete to cure before assembling the solar panel mount to the
pole.
3. Locate the enclosure assembly on a solid, level surface. If building
an additional support structure, make sure it is adequate to support
the weight of the Solar AquaAir Ultra system. The Solar AquaAir Ultra
1-2 are mounted on a polyethylene base. When an additional support
structure is required, make sure it can adequately support the weight
of the Solar AquaAir Ultra system. Also, make sure there is enough
space between the support pad and the poly base to connect the
Super Sink tubing to the high-temperature discharge hose from the
compressor.
4. Attach the panel mount and solar panels to the pole. Refer to the
instructions included with the top pole mount. The panel mount will
include all the hardware needed. The solar panels come prewired
with MC4 connectors for easy electrical hookup.
