1 COVERING FOR FLOATING AERATORS AQUAFEN

COVERING COMPOSITION:
The covering is made of:
The square central funnel
The 4 central sections
The 4 small sections
The four links between Aquafen float and covering and covering between the bank and
4 slings with 8 shackles
The 8 lifting plates for covering with diameter of 8 m
The 8 lifting counter plates for covering with diameter of 8 m
8 slings for the lifting with the crane for covering with diameter of 8 m

1.1 INSTRUCTIONS FOR ASSEMBLY AND HANDLING

1.1.1 COVERING HANDLING:
Each segment is handled manually by using two people.
When the covering is fully assembled, handling will be imperative made by 8 points for
covering with diameter of 8 m and by 4 points for smaller diameters.
Do not handle otherwise.

1.1.2 COVERING ASSEMBLY :

First you should choose a location where the soil is regular.
Put in place that will be the center of the covering a box or trestles of following heights:
Height of around 1.3 m for covering with diameter of 8 m
Height of around 1.2 m for covering with diameter of 7 m
Height of around 1.1 m for covering with diameter of 6 m
The box or the trestles will be used to facilitate the assembly of the covering.
Put the top of one of the four central sections (the straight part) on the box and screw
over the square central part. The bolt will be as follows: a large-large washer on each
side of the screw and for tightening some nuts Nylstop.
Then put in turn the other central sections and bolted together and also on the square
central part.
ATTENTION: you have to raise the box or trestles for coupling the sections together
(do not bring closer with the screws because the final parts will be difficult to assembly
in this case).
When the 4 central sections are completely assembled then you can put the 4 small
sections. Bolt to the central sections.

 1.1.3 ASSEMBLY OF COVERING WITH A DIAMETER OF 8 M:
Attention, do not forget to put the 8 lifting plates and the 8 lifting counter plates on the
3rd and 4th holes of the steep part (for covering of 6 or 7 m diameter, the sling will be only
made by only 4 points. Lifting rings are provided at the center of the 4 central sections,
and so there are no lifting plates).
Do not climb on the covering. Install on those plates the 8 lifting slings provided.
Put the 4 slings at 90 ° on the Aquafen thanks to 4 shackles.
Fit the 4 linking plates on the slings thanks to 4 other shackles. Plates must absolutely
be equidistant from the float on the four slings. Then secure the machine Aquafen to the
bank. Attach the motor cable to one of the four slings but being careful to make a loop
that plunge into the water at the point of connection plates.
The plates will be the guide point of the deposing of the covering with the crane.

Be careful to center the covering on the top of the Aquafen otherwise you will split the
covering with the Aquafen motor.

With the help of rigging plates, center the covering to 1 meter above the water level
then when the visual center is correct (the 4 linking plates are equidistant from the
covering), put the covering on the water.
With the help of a boat, fix on the covering the 4 linking plates with two screws per
plate. Remove the 8 handling slings.

1.1.4 ASSEMBLY OF COVERING WITH A DIAMETER OF 7 M OR

LESS:
For covering with a diameter of 7 m or less, the sling will be only made by only 4
points; lifting rings are provided at the center of the 4 central sections.

Do not climb on the covering. Install on the lifting rings at the center of central sections
the 4 lifting slings that the crane operator has (in general they have chains).
Put the 4 slings at 90 ° on the Aquafen thanks to 4 shackles.
Fit the 4 linking plates on the slings thanks to 4 other shackles. Plates must absolutely
be equidistant from the float on the four slings. Then secure the machine Aquafen to the
bank. Attach the motor cable to one of the four slings but being careful to make a loop
that plunge into the water at the point of connection plates.
The plates will be the guide point of the deposing of the covering with the crane.

Be careful to center the covering on the top of the Aquafen otherwise you will split the
covering with the Aquafen motor.

With the help of rigging plates, center the covering to 1 meter above the water level
then when the visual center is correct (the 4 linking plates are equidistant from the
covering), put the covering on the water.
With the help of a boat, fix on the covering the 4 linking plates with two screws per
plate. Remove the 4 handling slings.
