Propeller
Part # 30005
Maintenance, Winterizing, Storing
Our products require very little to no maintenance. Under normal operating conditions, you should enjoy many years of
trouble-free service from the unit. As a rule of thumb, the propeller assembly on our AquaSweep should be changed every
three years. This is a simple procedure that can be done on-site. When the unit is removed from the water for the propeller
switch, it would be a good opportunity to wash the unit down with high pressure water. Once the unit is clean, a visual
inspection of the entire AquaSweep is recommended to be certain nothing is restricting water ow.
The AquaSweep has been engineered to be operated all year or unplugged and left installed throughout the winter.
If the AquaSweep is ever removed from the lake or pond, it is essential to store with pump submerged in a 5 gallon
bucket of water to avoid damage to the pump seals.

Dock Mount Assembly and Installation
For repositionable installation
along longer docks, consider
fastening dock mounting
bracket to a 2" x 10" x 24"
board and securing to dock
with sturdy C-clamps.
(optional) Dock Post
Mounting Bracket
Fits posts up to 2-1/2" Dia.
Part #16501
Accommodates Larger
U-clamp rings up to 4" Dia.
Determine location that will best
position the Aquasweep to clear
debris, in a minimum water depth
of 12". Adjust depth 4" from lake
bottom. See back page for additional
guidelines.
Check that the dock framing is sturdy
and will accept mounting bracket
screws. Housing angle and direction
can be adjusted as needed to clear
muck and debris a full 360° area.
1. Begin the assembly of your
AquaSweep dock mount model by
removing the stainless-steel bolt
from the yoke assembly. Adjust
the AquaSweep housing 90° to the
yoke and tighten bolt. Fig. 1
2. Next, align the 3 holes on the
stainless steel debris shield with the
3 pre-drilled holes on the housing
and fasten with the 3 small self-
tapping screws provided. Fig. 2
3. Secure the dock mounting bracket
to your wooden or metal dock,
utilizing the 4 phillips head screws.
If necessary, drill pilot holes to
prevent cracking of deck material.
Fig. 3
4. Once the dock mounting bracket
has been secured, the stainless-
steel pole can be inserted thru the
dock mounting bracket. Simply
loosen the 2 thumb screws from
the dock plate sleeve, insert the
pole from the top thru the sleeve by
approximately 12 inches, and then
retighten the 2 thumb screws. Fig. 4
Oscillator Fig. 6
Adjust for varying water levels by
loosening the 2 thumb screws from
the dock mounting bracket and
raising or lowering the AquaSweep.
Please note, the 2 thumb screws
are coated with a special lubricating
compound specically designed
for stainless-steel to ensure proper
function. An extra packet of this
compound has been included
with your AquaSweep purchase;
periodic lubrication of the 2 thumb
screws is required for years of
problem free use and for warranty
validation.
For oscillator installation, continue
on page 4
5. Now, slide the yoke assembly
over the bottom of the stainless-
steel pole and secure with the bolt
provided. Fig. 5
6. Finally, power can be supplied
to your AquaSweep utilizing a
standard 110 or 230 volt receptacle
protected by a GFCI.
Extension cords must not be
used. Always disconnect power
when swimmers are present.

Oscillator Assembly and Installation (Dock Mount Aquasweep Only)
Weathproof control unit
allows for start and stop
positioning from 0-359°.
Our fully programmable oscillator
attachment makes moving muck even
easier. No need to turn the AquaSweep in
its mounting; the oscillator does it for you!
We pre-program the oscillator to rotate
the AquaSweep in 20 degree increments
every 20 minutes; you set it for any radius
you wish. The oscillator attachment can be
added to any new or previously installed
dock-mounted Aquasweep.
For assembly with a new
Aquasweep, follow steps 1-4 for
yoke assembly and dock mounting
bracket installation on page 3.
If addding to an installed
Aquasweep, begin by removing
bolt that secures the stainless
steel pole to the yoke assembly.
The oscillator replaces the
stainless steel pole on your dock
mount Aquasweep.

Aquasweep controls
Extension cords must not be
used. Always disconnect power
when swimmers are present.

Freestanding Aquasweep Assembly and Installation
Determine location that will best
position the Aquasweep to clear
debris, in a minimum water depth
of 12". Adjust depth 4" from lake
bottom. See back page for additional
guidelines.
Ground should be solid enough to
ensure stable pole mounting. Housing
angle and direction can be adjusted as
needed to clear muck and debris a full
360° area.
6. Push the pronged mounting pole into
the bottom of the lake/pond in the
desired position. The location should
be no less than 12" deep. Slide the
included 24" drive sleeve over the top
of the freestanding pole and pound
the mounting pole into the lake/pond
bottom until secure. Fig. 6
7. Now, secure the Aquasweep
assembly to the freestanding pole with
2 U-bolts, washers and nuts. Fig. 7
8. Adjusts for varying water levels
by loosening the 2 U-bolts
and raising or lowering the
AquaSweep.
9. Finally, power can be supplied
to your AquaSweep utilizing a
standard 110/230 volt receptacle
protected by a GFCI.
It is best to have two
people during installation.
