INSTALLATION
1. Immediately after delivery, inspect the aerator shipment
for any visible damages. Report any damage to your
dealer.
2. The surface aerator is completely assembled within the
housing. You will not need additional hardware.
3. Installtheaeratorintheoatbyfollowingthesesimple
instructions:
• Turn the aerator upside down with the propeller end
  facingdownwardandplaceonaatsurface.
 • Passpowercordthroughthetopsideoftheoat
  (sidewith“PowerHouse”printedonit).
 • Slideoat,PowerHousenamesidedown,over
the shroud. Twist to align slots in the throat of the
  oatwiththepowercordandmountingbolts.
• Make sure cord is free and does not loop above the
level of the propeller hub.
 • Ifyouareinstallingoptionaloatcage-connect
  thescreentothebottomlipoftheoatusingthe
(16) small white clamps. The sides of the screen will
need to be connected by using pliers to close the
metal rings.
4. Turn unit to an upright position with the propeller
facing up.
5. Fasten one mooring line to a secure place such as a fence
post or large cinder block.
6. Drop unit into water and secure the other rope directly
acrossfromtherst.Adjustyourfasteningpointsto
position the unit where desired.
7. Make certain that there is adequate water depth
(atlowestwaterlevel)sothattheunitoatsfreely.
Keep unit away from heavy grass or debris.
8. Make sure all hands, feet, cords, lines, etc. are clear of the
unit before connecting to power supply.
OPERATION
1. Once your Power House Surface Aerator unit is properly
installed and secured, the surface aerator is ready for
immediate use.
2. Your surface aerator is designed for continuous
operation. It can be cycled by the use of a timer, photocell
ordissolvedoxygenmeter.Thiscanhelptogreatlyreduce
the amount of energy consumed by the aerator, while still
circulating the water.
Contact your local electrician for assistance.
3. Operating equipment should be observed on a regular
basis for any reduction or variation in the aerator’s
performance.
4. Plug the electrical cord into properly grounded GFCI
(Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) or RCD (Residual
Current Device) protected circuit. Plug the electrical cord
into a receptacle that matches the unit operating voltage
or connect to an appropriate power source. GFI required
for each unit. (Recommended that an electrician verify
your power supply.)
WARNING:Whenanextensioncordisused,itmustbe
sized as follows:
Up to 100ft. - Use #12/3 wire cord
Up to 200ft. - Use #10/3 wire cord
5. Unit will start immediately and can twist slightly upon
starting. Make certain that all lines are clear and secure.
Water should be forced well above the top lip of the white
shroud and should look thick.
WARNING: Do not run out of water. Unit must be
submerged.Keephandsclear.
6. Routinely inspect the propeller and shaft for any damage
from foreign objects.
7. Ifusinginsaltwater,routinelyinspectthesacrical
anode. Replace parts as necessary.
8. Whentheunitisusedforowgenerationinacircular
tank or pond, the water will gradually circulate and will
continueforsometimeaftertheunitisturnedo.
9. Smallshcanbesuckedthroughtheunitundercertain
operating conditions. Make sure that you have reviewed
your stock and any possible damage before you start the
unit.
10. FreezingTemperaturescancauseoattocrackorsplit.
WARNING: Discontinue use and remove from water
