5.2: FLOAT ACCESSORIES
Vortex Shield: Excessive vortexing (see Troubleshooting section) will not normally
occur with the TORNADO aerator when operated under ordinary conditions and when
tipped into the water at a 45º angle. In situations where vortexing does occur, an
optional vortex shield (FIGURE 7) is available.
Swing Arms: Swing arms (FIGURE 8) are needed whenever water levels fluctuate
beyond the limits of the mooring cable. Floats with swing arms can only be moored
perpendicular to the cable. Aerator thrust should be directed toward points of
attachment (cable or wall) so that arms are in tension, not compression.
