Rigging Points
When deploying a SolarBee into the reservoir, it may need to be suspended. If suspending the
SolarBee, it must be suspended from all three rigging points to ensure the support of the weight of the
SolarBee and to keep the SolarBee balanced once suspended. A crane or hoist is often needed in
order to suspend the SolarBee 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 SolarBee to its maximum height
and aid in towing.
STEP 2: Using a three point rigging
system, connect to all three rigging
points of the SolarBee. Hoist the
SolarBee 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 SolarBee to its position
in the reservoir.
STEP 4: Towing the SolarBee 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
SolarBee with a boat. A second option,
and in most cases is the best option, is
to push the SolarBee using the front of
the boat.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT EXCEED 5
MPH (8KM/HR) WHEN TOWING OR
PUSHING A SOLARBEE.
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.
CAUTION: DO NOT REMOVE ANY FLOAT
ARM OR TURNBUCKLE PINS OR BOLTS
WHILE THE SOLARBEE IS FLOATING IN
THE WATER! THE SOLARBEE MUST BE
RESTING ON THE GROUND OR SAFELY
SUPPORTED TO RELIEVE THE FORCES
ON THE FLOAT ARM AND TURNBUCKLE
STRUCTURES PRIOR TO DISASSEMBLY!
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS WARNING
COULD LEAD TO SINKING THE
SOLARBEE, SERIOUS INJURY!
