1. Excavate an area large enough for the Fusion

Series unit to be installed. See Figure 5 and Table 2 for the actual dimensions of the unit. In

areas where high groundwater is not a concern, excavation dimensions are calculated by adding 12-18" (305-457 mm) to the length and width

of the Fusion

. This will allow sufcient room for proper backlling. If it is reasonable to expect a seasonally high water table, consult the Anti-

Flotation Procedures section below.

2. Construct a 6" (152 mm) thick stone pad of either 1/4" - 1/2" (6-13 mm) diameter stone or concrete pad and level to within 1/8" (3 mm).

3. If the unit is not level, it will cause uneven water ow as well as unbalanced aeration, which will result in poor performance.

4. Gently lift the unit at all four lifting points with a harness and install it on leveled stone pad (Figure 11).

5. Check unit to make certain it is level by placing a level at several locations on the riser. (riser covers removed) (Figure 11).

1. If groundwater is present, anti-otation measures must be used to

stabilize the unit prior to backlling. Please follow the procedures

in the Anti-otation section to properly anchor the Fusion

2. Fill the unit with clean water to the normal operating depth prior to

backlling. Partition walls between chambers are water-tight and will

ll in succession beginning on the inlet side of the unit. Therefore,

it is best to alternate chambers when lling with water so the unit

remains level. Check for leakage around the unit.

3. See riser instructions page 7. See Table 1 for number and size of

access openings. Riser extensions are available for deeper burial.

Make certain risers are sealed properly and watertight.

4. Install riser covers.

5. Backll with good quality granular soil around the unit that is free

of organic matter, rock, stone, tree roots, or other debris that could

damage the unit. Unit can be backlled partially before risers are

installed to aid in riser installation.

6. Tamp soil around perimeter of the unit as it is backlled to stabilize

the unit and to reduce settling.

7. Finalize backll with a mounded contour so that surface water is

shed away from the unit. Under no circumstances should surface

water be allowed to accumulate around unit.

CAUTION

MAXIMUM soil burial depth over the unit is 36

inches (914 mm).

EXCAVATION AND INSTALLATION

BACKFILLING

COLD WEATHER INSTALLATION

When installing Fusion

in cold climates, the blower must be protected

from snow drifts by installing it either inside a garage, home, basement,

crawlspace or riser. If installed in a riser, the blower must be protected

from inundation and must have a vent pipe installed to above the

maximum snow depth with a 180 degree angle at the end to prevent

snow and water entry. Also, the top and sides of the Fusion

must be

insulated with insulation sheeting or other means to provide a minimum

insulation value of R-8, along with the risers and lids. Please contact

the factory for further information.

ANTI-FLOTATION PROCEDURES

It is necessary to anchor the Fusion

in high ground water conditions to

prevent otation. If groundwater rises above the rock or concrete pad

that the Fusion

sits on, anchoring is required. Please consult a design

engineer, soil scientist or other qualied individual to determine high

groundwater conditions.

1. Follow the procedures outlined in the Excavation and Installation

Section items 1-5 to properly prepare and level the Fusion

excavation.

2. Follow the procedures outlined in the Backlling Section items 1-4

to properly ll the Fusion

with water and add risers if needed.

3. Refer to Figure 12, Anchoring Schematic to determine the

minimum amount of backll to be placed around the Fusion

in the

excavation. Tamp the ll to prevent settling.

4. Refer to Table 3, Concrete Anchoring Dimensions to determine

the amount of concrete needed for the concrete anchor collar that

is poured around the entire circumference of the Fusion

. Pour

concrete to the specied dimensions to fully engage the mid-seam

of the Fusion

, which will anchor it once the concrete cures. Make

certain to pour the concrete in a manor to minimize trapped air

within the concrete. Agitating or lightly mixing the concrete with

a metal rod or other similar device once poured will help release

trapped air. Be careful not to puncture or crack the unit.

5. Allow the concrete to harden before nal backlling.

6. Complete the procedures outlined in the Backlling Section,

items 5-8.
