Sizing recommendations based
on the following assumptions:
•
Unobstructed water.
•
200-acre+ body of water
with 200 feet+ water depth.
•
Water depth in de-icing
area is greater than 4 feet.
•
Size may vary greatly
based on a number of local
conditions.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Immediately inspect your shipment for any visible damages. Damages should be reported immediately.
Kasco De-icers are designed and engineered for continuous duty in the harshest environments. Following
installation, your Kasco De-icer is ready for immediate use. The motor is oil-filled, with ball bearings
submerged in oil and equipped with a thermal overload protection and an automatic reset. No further
lubrication is necessary.
It is extremely important that sufficient and proper voltage is provided to the unit’s motor.
The sacrificial anode located on the shaft below the propeller must be in good condition in order to prevent
corrosion damage to the unit. The anode must be inspected periodically and replaced if it shows significant
deterioration.
Make sure to keep the motor housing clean from hard water deposits and/or algae.
If the de-icer has been stored or exposed to cold for an extended period without running, it may take a
minute for the prop to get to full speed once power is supplied.
The de-icer is completely assembled. All you have to do is suspend it in as little as two (2) feet of water and
plug it into a properly grounded and GFI/RCD-protected outlet of the correct size for your installation.
Under certain conditions, no de-icer can prevent damage from ice movement caused by wind or
current. De-icing can become less effective in areas where the water is the same temperature at all
depths and ice forms all the way to the bottom, such as in shallow applications.
