TOWER ASSEMBLY: IMPORTANT TIPS TO EASE TOWER ASSEMBLY: • We highly recommend that you read through the manual completely before beginning the assembly process. If you have any questions, please contact us at (866) 471-1614. • It is extremely important that you do not tighten any nuts or bolts during the tower assembly process unless specifically told differently in the instruction manual.
Refer to Illustration 1 for direction. 4. Install the short end of the angle bracket (ABK) onto each of the eye bolts, using one ¼” nut (as shown in Illustration 1). The nut on the bottom of the eye bolt should be installed just far enough to ensure that it will not fall off. 5.
3. Install one ¼” nut onto each eye bolt and turn it until it reaches the top of the threaded section of the eye bolt. Refer to Illustration 1 for direction. 4. Install the short end of one angle bracket (ABK) onto each of the eye bolts using one ¼” nut (as shown in Illustration 1). The nut on the bottom of the eye bolt should be installed just far enough to ensure that it will not fall off. 5.
STEP 6 — TOWER BASE: 1. Separate stake clamps (SCBR, SCBL) into 3 sets of one left and one right per set. 2. Install one stake clamp set and the 12’, 16’, 20’, or 24’ cross member assembly (depending on your tower size) to the leg bottom. Use only the bottom ¼” x ¾” bolt. Refer to Illustration 1 for directions. Repeat for each side. 3. Insert a ¼” x ¾” bolt through the top of the ground stake clamp, tower leg, cross brace or angle bracket, and cross member. Refer to Illustrations 1 and 2 for directions.
STEP 9 — BLADE INSTALLATION: Illustration 4 BBR ¼” x ½ ” BOLTS & NUTS (BTBP) 1. Install all twelve blade braces (BBR), as shown in Illustration 4 above. Keep all nuts very loose until AFTER the last blade brace has been installed. Again, it will help if the hub is elevated up on a tire or bucket, allowing the blades to fall downwards, giving us a forward pitch. MAKE SURE the small hole in the hub is on the bottom and the 1” hole is on top! 2.

Insert the “U” bolt (package G) through the two holes in the back of the compressor and secure with 5/16” flange nuts (package B). Do not tighten tightly — leave loose until pivot tube has been installed. 2. Slip the pivot tube (PVT) (hole at the top of the tube) through the compressor bottom, through the “U” bolt clamp, and through the compressor top plate.
STEP 12 — SETUP OF WINDMILL COMPONENTS: Setup of Windmill Components 1. Install the blade assembly onto the compressor crankshaft and tighten the Allen screws in locking collar with supplied 5/ 32” Allen wrench (package A) on the flat sections of the crankshaft (photo 1). Note: A little lubricant on the crankshaft can help make this step easier. If needed, place the blade assembly on the ground and gently push down on the compressor to secure it into the two locking collars.
6. After the previous procedures are done, stand up the completed unit on the site. Be sure to have enough people to hold the base of the tower and to help lift up the tower, or have your optional tower hinges in place. After the windmill has been erected, the ground rods can be driven into the ground through stake clamp brackets (SCBs), leaving 2”– 3” of the ground rods above the stake clamp brackets (SCBs). Level the windmill and tighten the clamps securely.
Instructions for Placing Airstone in Pond We recommend that you put your airstone into a rubber or plastic bucket to help protect it from the mud and debris common in the bottom of most ponds. A 3”– 5” layer of small rock, sand, or even concrete put into the bottom of the bucket can help weigh the bucket down, so that it sits on the bottom. We also suggest installing the airstone into the deep part of the pond to ensure complete circulation of your water.
