Installation
continued
1 . First, apply lubricant to the threads, slide bolts, and the channels of the four slides
and then loosely install the mounting poles to the sled base using the sliding-bolts .
2 . Attach a waterproof rope to the sled base in the hole and anchor it to the shore
(above the high water mark and above the liner) with a stake . The rope will allow
you to position the unit the proper distance from the shore and prevent the sled
from sliding down the slope of the pond . The rope is also helpful when you need to
retrieve the unit from the water for periodic cleaning .
3 . In shallow water, place a cement block on the sled mount to provide weight (place
over the mounting pole) and slide the sled assembly into the water to the proper
location .
4 . Adjust angle of the poles to vertical positions by turning the poles
counter clockwise (a half turn) only to loosen them (just enough
to allow you to set the angle .
Note:
Be careful not to turn the poles
too far while loosening to prevent the sliding-bolts from falling off .)
Once the poles are set vertically, tighten the poles by turning them
clockwise .
5 . Slide the Rain Bird unit onto the poles, facing the correct direction .
Make sure flat end of the transducer head (not the side with the
cord) faces out .
6 . Adjust the anchoring rope to make sure there is no slack in the line
to prevent the unit from sliding down the pond’s slope .
7 . Now that the unit is in the water* you may plug the Rain Bird power supply into
the GFCI outlet .
* It is EXTREMELY important you do not connect to power source before you put it in
the water as this can result in damage to the transducer head and will void
your warranty.

periodic routine maintenance .
