system. Connection must be properly grounded and of
correct voltage, size, and configuration for electrical
specifications of unit. Contact a qualified electrician to
determine and install proper electrical connection.
• Unit must be installed by a qualified electrician.
Installation must conform to all local electrical codes.
Installation by unqualified personnel will void unit
warranty and may lead to electric shock or burn, as
well as damage to unit and/or its surroundings.
• Control box must be mounted in a vertical surface.
Mounting control box in a horizontal surface may result
in the collection of liquids and lead to electric shock.
• Turn OFF power switch, turn off power at circuit
breaker, and allow unit to cool before performing any
cleaning, adjustments, or maintenance.
• DO NOT submerge or saturate with water. Unit is not
waterproof. Do not operate if unit has been submerged
or saturated with water.

Replacement Parts will void all warranties and may
subject operators of the equipment to hazardous
electrical voltage, resulting in electrical shock or burn.
Genuine Hatco Replacement Parts are specified to
operate safely in the environments in which they are
used. Some after-market or generic replacement parts
do not have the characteristics that will allow them to
operate safely in Hatco equipment.
