IMPORTANT SAFETY & HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS
Please read and follow these extremely important safety and handling instructions for your
Kasco equipment. Following these instructions will help ensure your safety and the quality
performance of your equipment.
•
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 stan-
dards for safety in water and all fountain models included control panels with GFI protec-
tion. However, it is
NEVER
recommended to enter the water with the equipment in opera-
tion.
•
Caution should be used 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 operator.
•
Extreme caution should be used around water, especially
cold water
, such as in Spring,
Fall, and Winter. Cold water poses a hazard in and of itself.
•
NEVER
lift or drag the fountain by the power or light cord. If you need to pull the unit to
the side of the pond, use the anchoring ropes.
•
Do not use waders in deep ponds/lakes or ponds/lakes with drop-offs, drastic slopes, or soft
bottom material.
•
Do not use boats that tip easily for fountain installation , such as a canoe, and follow all
boating safety rules and regulations, including wearing a PFD (Personal Flotation Device).
•
The fountain is supplied with an internal grounding conductor and a grounding-type attach-
ment plug. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, be certain that the fountain is plugged/
wired into the C-85 Control Panel (240/208V for 8400JF and 3.1JF) or C-95 Control Panel
(240/208V for 5.1JF) supplied by Kasco and that the panel is wired properly. The GFCI
breakers should be tested upon each installation and every month thereafter to ensure
proper operation.
•
This control panel must be installed a minimum of 5ft(3m in Canada) from the inside wall
of the pond, unless separated from the body of water by a fence wall, or other permanent
barrier that will make the unit inaccessible to persons in the water.
