plugged in and/or in operation. It is NEVER
recommended to enter the water with the
equipment in operation.

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

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

•
installation, such as a canoe, and follow all
