A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN WILL DETERMINE:
A) Type and size of service wire, B) grounding procedure,
and C) proper fusing of heater.
GROUND WIRE:
The heating element is grounded to the
waterer by a green ground screw at the factory. The ground wire
from the power service should be secured to the waterer with
the second green ground screw provided in the handy box. When
using wire-nuts, follow instruction on wire-nut box. Tape wire
nuts to wire to prevent loosening.
FUSING:
Waterers must be individually fused. Do not over fuse.
Consult a licensed electrician. Heating rating @ 120 volts AC.
DEDICATED CIRCUITS
– Waterers must be on dedicated
circuits. TURN POWER OFF after the Winter heating season when
heaters are no longer needed (temperatures are consistently
above freezing) or when performing maintenance on waterers.
Use a licensed electrician to install and maintain the
Waterer, so you can be assured that you have complied
with all national and local electrical codes and that you
have not created a risk of electrocution or fire. Improper
installation or maintenance may result in serious injury or
death for personnel or animals or damage to structures.

WARNING! TURN OFF ELECTRICITY WHEN SERVICING WATERER
Always turn off power to waterers whenusing a tool to service or
maintain waterer to eliminate risk of electrocution. Waterers should be on
dedicated circuits.
WARNING! USE CARE NOT to spill water on heating element. Water on
heating element reduces heater life and may lead to freeze-up. Keep area
below drinking bowl as dry and clean as possible.
