Important Safety Instructions
CAUTION
• Under NO circumstances should anyone enter the water with the electrical equipment plugged in and/or in operation. It is
NEVER recommended to enter the water with the equipment in operation.
• Caution should be used when dealing with any electrical equipment with moving parts.
• 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, which poses a
hazard in and of itself.
• NEVER lift or drag the unit 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 unit is supplied with an internal grounding conductor. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, be certain that the unit is
plugged/connected to an approved RCD (GFCI) protected circuit.
• A properly sized 3 phase motor control (motor starter) with overload and short circuit protection must be provided at time
of installation.
• 3 phase units (2.3, 3.3, 5.3) require a startup test after wiring to ensure proper rotation of the impeller. If the impeller is
rotating in the opposite direction, the unit will not perform properly and internal damage to the unit may occur. (See 3
phase startup procedure)
•
Means for disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with local and national wiring rules to
prevent accidental start.
•
Consult a qualified electrician for electrical installation.
