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 fi xed wiring in accordance with local
and national wiring rules to prevent accidental
start.
Consult a qualifi ed electrician for electrical
•
installation.

Quick Disconnect Installation
Important – Read Carefully Before Installation
Before using the connector, it is important that these
instructions are carefully read and understood to
ensure the connector system is completely water tight
and electrically safe.
IF IN DOUBT CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRI-
CIAN.
The socket (female) insert of the connector must be
the live part of the connector from the supply. The pin
(male) insert of the connector must lead to the load or
electrical device. On 50Hz units, the pin (male) insert
of the connector is installed at the factory. To ensure
effi cient sealing, use only smooth circular cable.
