CONGRATULATIONS...
Congratulations on the purchase of your Superior Windmill. You are now the owner of North
America's most superior wind powered aeration systems. Proper maintenance and assembly will
lead to a long life of service from our products.
THEORY OF OPERATION
Under the water's surface there are aerobic bacteria feeding on organic matter, which consumes
large quantities of oxygen. When this oxygen becomes depleted, hydrogen sulfide gas is
produced as a byproduct. This causes the water to turn black and a foul odor similar to rotting
eggs is given off. When you use a Superior Windmill the water stays aerated preventing this
problem from happening. Using our double diaphragm (TURBO JET STREAM) pump keeps the
oxygen level even higher and your water cleaner.
CAUTION
1)
DO NOT attempt to repair or service the windmill on a very windy day. It is too unpredictable
and dangerous, and you could be easily injured.
2)
Even in low winds, be very careful when servicing. Be certain that the blade is securely tied
before beginning any work.
3)
DO NOT climb the tower while the blades are in motion. The head can turn without warning
and is very dangerous. Use a ladder to climb the tower that is properly and safely secured.
DO NOT use the tower members as steps as they cannot safely support your weight. The
recommended method is to lay the tower on its side for any servicing.
4)
ALWAYS teach children about the dangers of the windmill and keep them away from it.
5)
Keep your distance from the windmill in thunder, strong winds and lightning storms.
6)
STAY OFF the pond ice in winter, as it is thin from the air movement under the surface.
AVOIDING THESE SAFETY WARNINGS CAN RESULT IN
WARRANTY
The Superior Windmill comes with 18 full months of warranty from the day of purchase. This
guards against defects in material and workmanship. You can either return the faulty component
for repair or you can take it apart yourself and phone the factory for replacement parts. You will
need to have proof of purchase date and if within the 18-month time frame the parts will be sent
to you at no additional cost.
PLEASE NOTE: This windmill has been designed for maximum strength however it is possible
that a severe storm may damage or destroy it. Due to this the windmill should be covered by your
own applicable insurance policy.

  • Page 5 FRAME SETUP INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not tighten any bolts until tower is fully assembled. The setup of this tower will go much quicker and more organized if you do some pre-assembly. The entire cross bar supports can be bolted together as per Figure 1. Also, the multi-strut systems can be bolted together.
  • Page 6 Bolt clamps to bottom of leg that your windmill frame ends with. Also note that the clamps come in pairs to allow the stakes to be driven vertically into the ground. Check that you have them paired up correctly. Bolt the ground stake in with six 1/4" x 1/2” hex nuts and bolts and twelve 1/4” flat washers (install washers on the outside of both pieces).
  • Page 7 Slide the compressor unit over the pivot post (ITEM 7) and tighten u-clamp bolt from compressor around pivot post. Next hook up a short hose between the air fittings on top of compressor and the pivot post air fitting, secure with hose clamp. Next, slide crankshaft through center of hub assembly (ITEM 14) and tighten setscrews then jam nuts to secure.
  • Page 8 If you have also opted for the air diffuser, follow the same instructions as in Step V but instead of using the rope and weight to hold the end of the hose underwater, attach that end of the hose to the air diffuser. To prevent stirring up mud we recommend that you place the stone inside a plastic pail or bucket.
  • Page 9 If you have also opted for the freeze control unit you have to mount the ethanol tank to the windmill leg about 5 feet off the ground. Instead of running the hose directly to the dugout, attach it to the check valve on the bottom of the ethanol tank. Run another hose out of the check valve into the T-Joint assembly.
