Important Safety Information
Read the final Slinger installation instructions before use. Have a qualified electrician verify power source and protection for the selected voltage. Keep all people and pets away from operating equipment and thin or open ice.
Disconnect power before handling, retrieving, adjusting or maintaining the unit. Never enter the water while the unit is powered. Keep ropes secured and clear of the rotating propeller. Never operate the motor out of water or with damaged components.
DANGER: Circulation can create thin or unstable ice beyond the visibly open area; clearly mark or restrict access.
