CAUTION: DO NOT REMOVE ANY FLOAT
ASSEMBLY PINS OR BOLTS WHILE THE
MACHINE IS FLOATING IN THE WATER!
THE MACHINE MUST BE RESTING ON
THE GROUND OR SAFELY SUPPORTED
TO RELIEVE THE FORCES ON THE FLOAT
ASSEMBLY STRUCTURES PRIOR TO
DISASSEMBLY! FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS
WARNING COULD LEAD TO SINKING THE
MACHINE, OR CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY!
When deploying a Machine into the reservoir, it may
need to be suspended. If suspending the Machine,
it must be suspended from all three rigging points to
ensure the support of the weight of the Machine and
to keep the Machine balanced once suspended. A
crane or hoist is often needed in order to suspend the
Machine for deployment into the reservoir.
TOOLS REQUIRED:
Crane or Hoist (if necessary)
Boat
STEP 1:
Adjust all three turnbuckles to their full
extension. This will raise the entire Machine to its
maximum height and aid in towing.
STEP 2:
Using a three point rigging system, connect
to all three rigging points of the Machine. Hoist the
Machine by the three rigging points and slowly lower
into the reservoir.
STEP 3:
Tie as much of the hose up as possible. This
will reduce some drag when towing the Machine to its
position in the reservoir.
STEP 4:
Towing the Machine can be done one of two
ways. The first way is to hook a chain, or towing line,
around one of the float arms and pull the Machine with
a boat. A second option, and in most cases is the best
option, is to push the Machine using the front of the
boat.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT EXCEED 5 MPH (8KM/HR)
WHEN TOWING OR PUSHING A MACHINE.
STEP 5: Once in position, lower the hose into the
water. If the hose and strainer are not completely
submerged, push them both down until the air trapped
inside is released. Once the air is released, the hose
will lower down into place.
