7. See “Mesh Screen Attachment” section before
connecting the bottom screen to the float. Position the
Bottom Screen (Part #B9) over the float so the motor
housing (can) passes through the large hole in the cen-
ter of the screen. Remove the center three 3/8” Lock
Nuts from the 9” Bolts and place the Bottom Screen
Clips (Part #B13) over the bolts as shown. The power
cord can be slid under the bottom screen between the
float and screen where two float sections come togeth-
er before the 3/8” Lock Nuts are replaced. Replace the
three inside Lock Nuts and tighten all 3/8” Lock Nuts
using the 9/16” wrench and socket.

8. On power cord lengths of 100 feet or longer with
the watertight Quick Disconnect, the power cord is
shipped separately. It should now be attached to the
stub cord by lining up the male and female halves of
the disconnect and hand tightening the blue collar. On
these cords, the Additional Strain Relief should be
attached to one of the lower float brackets as pictured.
If you receive a 3 chain strain relief (6 or 8 gauge
cord), attach one chain to each of the three lower float
brackets. If there is not Strain Relief, use the Nylon
Cable Tie provided to secure the cord to a rope to
prevent damage by the propeller. Double check the
Quick Disconnect to make sure the threaded collar has
not come loose in shipping before placing in the water.
