3. Tow SolarBee to Removal Area
TOOLS: Boat and Boat Motor, Tow Strap/Rope
Towing the SolarBee can be done using
several methods, however it is very important
to tow slowly, preventing damage to the
SolarBee.
One method is to hook a towing strap or rope
around one of the float arms at the anchor
connection point and pull the SolarBee with a
boat.
Another method is to push the SolarBee using
the front of the boat. This works the best with
a small sized boat. It is important that extra
caution be taken not to push in between float
arms and not on a solar panel. Push on a
solid structure, such as the under side of the
distribution dish if using this method.
IMPORTANT: TO PREVENT INJURY AND
COSTLY DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE, DO
NOT EXCEED 5 MPH (8KM/HR) WHEN
TOWING OR PUSHING A SOLARBEE.
Position the SolarBee at the pond edge
where it can be reached by the crane or
hoist equipment. The SolarBee will float in
approximately 2 ft (60 cm) of water.
