Tips and Suggestions for Installing an Outdoor Water Solutions Aeration Windmill

• WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU READ THROUGH THIS ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE

BEGINNING ASSEMBLY. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE CONTACT US AT (866) 471-1614.

• In order for your windmill to work properly, YOU MUST LOCATE THE AREA WITH THE MOST

WIND EXPOSURE NEAR YOUR POND. The windmill can be positioned up to 1,000 feet away

from the pond.

• Anchoring of the windmill tower is very important. We STRONGLY recommend an anchoring

system such as concrete pilings, a concrete pad, or screw-in anchors. High winds or light soil

conditions can cause the windmill to fall over, physically damaging the rotor head and other

components. The customer is responsible to anchor the Windmill adequately or consult the

appropriate people to do so.

• NOTE: DURING THE TOWER ASSEMBLY, DO NOT COMPLETELY TIGHTEN ANY NUTS OR BOLTS

UNTIL THE TOWER IS COMPLETED, UNLESS SPECIFICALLY DIRECTED OTHERWISE.

• NOTE: DO NOT TIGHTEN ANY OF THE BLADES ON THE HUB UNTIL THE BLADE BRACES HAVE

BEEN INSTALLED.

• NOTE: HUB MUST FACE DOWN WHEN THE BLADES AND BLADE BRACES ARE BEING INSTALLED

(FACE DOWN MEANS THE SMALLER BOLT HOLE IN THE FRONT MUST BE FACING DOWN. THE

EXPOSED 1” HOLE FOR THE SHAFT SHOULD FACE UP). THIS ALLOWS THE PROPER BLADE PITCH,

SLIGHTLY FORWARD, WHEN COMPLETE. IT IS ALSO HELPFUL TO SET THE BLACK HUB UP ON

A TIRE, BUCKET, OR BOX WHEN INSTALLING THE BLADES AND BLADE BRACES. THIS ALLOWS

EVERYTHING TO PITCH FORWARD VS. BACKWARDS.

• NOTE: IN COLD CLIMATE AREAS, WHERE FREEZING DOES OCCUR, WE RECOMMEND THE USE

OF AN OWS FREEZE CONTROL SYSTEM TO AID IN KEEPING THE AIR LINE OPEN. CONDENSATION

CAN FORM IN THE AIR LINE AND RESTRICT AIR FLOW, PUTTING UNDUE PRESSURE ON THE

PUMPTING MECHANISM AND VOIDING THE WARRANTY.
