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 De-Icers are ETL approved to UL and CSA stan-
dards for safety in water. However, it is
NEVER
recommended to enter the water with the
equipment in operation.
•
Caution should be used when dealing with any electrical and/or moving equipment. Al-
ways keep people and objects clear of the propeller when operating.
•
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 open water, especially
cold water
, which poses a
hazard in and of itself.
•
Always disconnect the electrical power before servicing or removing your De-Icer.
•
NEVER
lift or drag the De-Icer by the power cord. This could damage the power cord and
make your De-Icer unsafe to operate. If you need to pull the unit, use the mooring ropes.
•
Kasco Marine recommends that precautions be taken around open water de-icing areas to
ensure the safety of the public, i.e., “Thin Ice” and/or “Open Water” signs, appropriate
lighting, fencing, or other safety measures required in your area.
•
The De-Icer 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 De-Icer is plugged into
a GFI protected circuit.
•
Please Note: Under certain conditions, no de-icer can prevent damage from ice movement
caused by wind or current, or from extremely cold weather causing ice to form all the way
to the bottom and in some cases where bottom water temperature is the same as the ice. Ef-
fective de-icing can also be retarded when used in extremely shallow conditions.
