3. Only install this system in ponds
where no swimming, wading,
boating or fishing is allowed.
Disconnect power to system before
fishing or entering the water.
4. Post appropriate warning signs per
local and state codes.
5. Place power cord so that it rests on
bottom of pond away from sharp
rocks or vegetation so it can be easily
removed without being damaged or
becoming entangled. Leave enough
slack to accommodate anticipated
water level fluctuations.
NOTE: It is suggested that the
underwater power cables be installed
in conduit from the panel to 4 -5 ft into
the water to prevent possible cable
damage.
6. Before connecting the unit to the
power receptacle, check to insure
there is no leakage to ground. This
can be done by using an ohm meter

setting (i.e. Rx100K). Connect one
ohmmeter lead to the unit power
cord ground (round prong) and to
one of the flat prongs. It should
read infinite or at least 2 mega
