Setup and Installation

The Aquasweep is designed for dock mounting. Follow these steps for secure installation:

   Connect the two vertical poles to the dock mount bracket using the provided clamps and bolts. Ensure they are securely fastened.

2. Attach the Aquasweep Unit:

   Secure the Aquasweep motor unit to the lower end of the assembled poles. The propeller guard should face away from the dock. Adjust the height so the propeller is submerged at the desired depth, typically 1-2 feet above the bottom for muck blasting.

3. Mount to Dock:

   Position the entire assembly on your dock. Use appropriate fasteners (not included, as dock materials vary) to securely attach the dock mount bracket to a sturdy part of your dock. Ensure the unit is stable and will not shift during operation.

4. Connect Power:

   Route the 50ft power cord from the Aquasweep motor to the oscillator control unit, and then to a dedicated 115V GFCI-protected outdoor electrical outlet. Ensure all connections are dry and secure. Avoid kinks or sharp bends in the power cord.

Operating Instructions

Once installed and powered, the Aquasweep with Oscillator is ready for operation.

1. Power On:

   Plug the unit into the GFCI-protected outlet. The "Power" indicator light on the control unit should illuminate.

2. Adjust Oscillation (if applicable):

   The oscillator feature allows the unit to sweep a wider area. Refer to the control unit's specific buttons for adjusting the sweep angle or activating/deactivating oscillation. The "Setup" button may be used to enter configuration mode for oscillation settings.

3. Monitor Performance:

   Observe the "Status" indicator light for normal operation. The unit will begin to push water, clearing muck and debris. Adjust the depth or position as needed to optimize performance for your specific area.

4. Run Time:

   The duration of operation depends on the amount of muck and the desired clarity. For initial clearing, continuous operation for several hours or days may be required. For maintenance, shorter, periodic runs are usually sufficient.

5. Power Off:

   To turn off the unit, simply unplug it from the GFCI outlet.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your Aquasweep.

• Periodic Cleaning:

  Periodically inspect the propeller guard for debris such as weeds, fishing lines, or plastic bags. Disconnect power before removing any obstructions. A clogged guard can reduce performance and strain the motor.

• Winter Storage:

  In freezing climates, remove the unit from the water before temperatures drop below freezing. Clean the unit thoroughly with fresh water, dry it, and store it in a dry, protected area away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

• Cord Inspection:

  Regularly inspect the power cord for any signs of damage, fraying, or cuts. If damage is found, discontinue use immediately and contact customer support for replacement or repair.
