DISC DIFFUSER BASE INSTALLATION
.
A. Ballast with Gravel
1. Fill the two (2) gravel compartments of
each Diffuser Manifold Base with 10-12
pounds of all-purpose gravel or until full.
Install the plugs provided (PN: 41-0276).
B. Place Diffuser Manifold Base
1. To place the Diffuser Manifold Base from the shore take an appropriate length of 1/8” nylon rope and from the bottom of
the base thread each end up through the two (2) holes opposite the weighted tubing as shown.
2. When power is available to the Compressor Cabinet,
FULLY OPEN (TURN COUNTER-CLOCKWISE) ALL VALVES
ON ALL MANIFOLDS
(See Page 6) and turn the switch inside to
ON
. Operating the compressor/s while placing the
Diffuser Manifold Base will help keep them right side up.
3. While holding both ends of the rope pull the pad into the desired position.
4. To remove the rope, pull one (1) end. If tying two (2) lengths of rope together be certain to pull the correct end with
respect to the knot.
5. Use the same method placing the Diffuser Base from a boat except two (2) ropes may be used on each end of the pad.

AIRFLO 3 SYSTEM OPERATION
A. CAUTION: The AirFlo 3 May Re-start Automatically
1. In the event of a compressor motor fault the internal motor thermal protection switch may trip shutting off the AirFlo 3
compressor. When cooled sufficiently the thermal switch will reset automatically which may cause the compressor to start
suddenly. If this re-occurs, turn the main switch down to OFF and contact an authorized service center.
B. Cabinet Ventilation
IMPORTANT:
For proper Compressor Cabinet ventilation the cover must be kept closed and latched during operation.
1. There are two (2) cabinet ventilation fans. The right rear fan is thermostatically controlled and will start only when
internal cabinet temperature is above 30°C (86°F).
2. The fan on the left rear will operate continuously under normal conditions. If this fan is not operating when the main
switch is ON it must be replaced.
