6. IF Steps 1-5 are successful, you are ready to install the unit in the water. Proceed with
following instructions.
CAUTION: OTTERBINE® aerators are designed to run in a COUNTER CLOCKWISE
DIRECTION and CURRENT UNBALANCE BETWEEN THE LEGS ON 3 PHASE UNITS
SHOULD NOT EXCEED 5%. Steps "L-M" on page 16 determine current unbalance.
ATTENTION: les aerateurs Otterbine® sont designes pour fonctionner dans le sens contaire
des aiguilles d'une montre et tout desequilibre entre chacune des phases de l'alimentation ne
doit pas depasser 5% voir "L-M page 16 pour determiner le desequilibre.
C. Install the cable strain relief device. Pass the wire hoop
from the strain relief through one of the holes in the float or
around the float bracket. Reattach wire hoop to strain relief --
see Figure 3.
D. Attach your aerator power cable to one of the holes in
the float after the strain relief with the ty-raps provided. In
corrosive, brackish, and salt water applications use two ty-raps
to attach your power cable to the float--see Figure 3.
There are two different methods of securing your aerator, anchoring and mooring. Otterbine suggests mooring
as it will be easier to install and service the aerator. On the next page you will find instructions for mooring the
aerator; if you prefer to anchor your aerator, please see "Anchoring Your Aerator."
