• Creates the largest ice-free area of protection.

Universal Mount (Optional, PN: 243485)

• Best in areas with waves, tides, or currents.
• Place 4-6 ft. below the surface and 1 ft. off the bottom.
• Simple Swivel allows easy rotation to direct water flow.

പൊതു ഇൻസ്റ്റാളേഷൻ ഘട്ടങ്ങൾ

1. സ്ഥാനനിർണ്ണയം: Determine the optimal location for the de-icer to protect your desired area. Consider water depth and proximity to the dock or boat.
2. സസ്പെൻഷൻ: Attach the provided mooring ropes to the de-icer unit. Securely fasten the other ends of the ropes to a stable structure, such as a dock or pier. Adjust rope lengths to position the de-icer 4-6 feet below the surface and at least 1 foot off the bottom.
3. പവർ കണക്ഷൻ: Route the power cord safely, avoiding pinch points or areas where it could be damaged. Plug the 25 ft electric power cord into a 120V GFCI-protected outlet.

• തുടർച്ചയായ പ്രവർത്തനം: The unit is built for continuous operation throughout the winter season to maintain an ice-free area.
• ജലപ്രവാഹം: The de-icer's high-efficiency motor and propeller create a directional flow of water, pushing warmer bottom water to the surface. This action prevents ice formation and helps oxygenate the water, benefiting aquatic life.
• നിരീക്ഷണം: Periodically observe the de-icer's performance to ensure it is creating the desired open water area. Adjust positioning if necessary to optimize coverage.

6. പരിപാലനം

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and efficient operation of your Kasco De-icer.

  • Ensure the de-icer is positioned at the correct depth (4-6 ft below surface, 1 ft off bottom).
  • Check for debris around the propeller that might be impeding water flow. Disconnect power before inspecting.
  • Consider extreme cold temperatures. Refer to the sizing guide in Section 3 for expected performance at various temperatures.
• അസാധാരണമായ ശബ്ദം അല്ലെങ്കിൽ വൈബ്രേഷൻ:
