WARNINGS:
Shock Hazard
Please read and follow these extremely important safety and handling instructions for your Kasco equip-
ment. Following these instructions will help ensure your safety and the quality performance of your equip-
ment.
• Under NO circumstances should anyone enter the water with the electrical equipment plugged in and/
or in operation. All Kasco equipment is ETL approved to UL and CSA standards for safety in water. How-
ever, it is NEVER recommended to enter the water with the equipment in operation.
• Use caution when dealing with any electrical and/or moving equipment.
• NEVER run the unit out of water. It will damage the seals and create a dangerous situation for the opera-
tor.
• Use extreme caution around water, especially cold water, such as in spring, fall, and winter, which poses
a hazard in itself.
• NEVER lift or drag the equipment by the power cord. If you need to pull the unit to the side of the pond,
use the anchoring ropes or mount apparatus.
• Do not use waders in deep ponds/lakes or ponds/lakes with drop-os, drastic slopes, or soft bottom
material.
• Do not use boats that tip easily, such as canoes, for installation, and follow all boating safety rules and
regulations, including wearing a PFD (Personal Flotation Device).
• Single phase water aerators are supplied with an internal grounding conductor and a grounding-type
attachment plug. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, be certain that the water aerator is plugged into
a GFI-protected circuit.
• Control panels must be installed a minimum of 5ft (1.5m) from the inside wall of the pond, unless sepa-
rated from the body of water by a fence wall, or other permanent barrier that will make the unit inacces-
sible to persons in the water.
• Control panels must be installed by a qualied electrician.
• Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) should be tested upon each installation and every month there-
after to ensure proper operation.
• Please keep the original box for maintenance shipping.
