Impeller Cleaning
In some applications, the autoreverse function will
not completely eliminate floating debris or aquatic
weeds from catching on the impeller blades and
shaft. In these applications, impeller cleaning and
impeller removal may be necessary.
Impeller Cleaning
TOOLS RECOMMENDED:
Elbow High Rubber Gloves
Squeegee
Garbage Bag
STEP 1:
Turn SolarBee off by placing the On/Off
switch into the OFF position.
STEP 2:
Open PV module gate for easy access to
the impeller. If necessary for better access, use
the three turnbuckles to raise machine level.
STEP 3:
Using gloves and squeegee, clean off
debris or aquatic weeds that are wrapped around
impeller blades and shaft. Place the debris into
a garbage bag and remove from pond to prevent
it from going through SolarBee again.
Follow all
local laws and regulations when disposing of
any materials collected.
STEP 4:
Observe if there is buildup below the
impeller blades.
If below the impeller is clean, then close the PV
module gate, lower dish into the water at proper
setting using the turnbuckles, and screw in fuse
switch to turn SolarBee back on.
If there is buildup below the impeller, then see
directions for impeller removal on the next page.
