WARNINGS:

Shock Hazard

•  NEVER enter the water with the electrical equipment connected and/or in operation. 
•  All electrical equipment must be Ground fault/leakage current protected. Use of a Ground fault 

protective device (GFI, RCD, RCBB, or RCBO type device) is required as directed by local and national 
codes.

•  Stay clear of all moving parts.  
•  NEVER run the unit out of water. This will damage the equipment and pose a danger to the operator. 
•  Use extreme caution around water, especially cold water. 
•  NEVER lift or drag the unit by the power cord. Always use the ropes or mount to remove it from the 

water. 

• 

Do not use waders in deep water or in areas with drop-offs, drastic slopes, or soft bottom material. 

•  Do not use boats that tip easily for unit installation (such as canoes). 
•  Follow all boating safety rules and regulations, including wearing a Personal Flotation Device.
•  The unit is supplied with an internal grounding conductor. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, be 

certain that the unit is plugged in/connected to a circuit with ground fault protection. 

• 

Means for disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring, in accordance with local and national 

wiring rules. 

• 

Consult a qualified electrician for electrical installation.
