IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THIS MANUAL AND SAVE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
SAFETY FIRST
• Under NO circumstances should anyone enter the water with the mixer connected or in operation.
• Running the unit out of water will create a dangerous situation and damage the seals.
• NEVER lift the unit by the power cord. If you need to remove the mixer, use the installation or mount apparatus.
• The unit must be connected to a GFCI-protected circuit.
• Comply with local and national wiring standards during any electrical service disconnect.
• Consult a qualied professional for electrical installation.
• Use all Personal Protective Equipment necessary for safe ingress, installation, and egress from the work site.
• Refer to applicable national and local laws and standards to facilitate the safe installation of a CertiSafe Tank Mixer. These may
include but are not limited to OSHA, CCOHS, and other regulations related to:
• Working over or near water
• Fall protection systems
• Falling object protection systems
• Electrical standards
• Illumination
• Ventilation
• Installation of CertiSafe™ Tank Mixers requires entry into environments that pose potential hazards, such as those described in
section 1910.146 of OSHA’s Occupational Safety and Health Standards for Permit-required conned spaces. As such:
• Observe any applicable pre-entry measures required by the entry supervisor.
• Only those authorized via the permit system in place at the installation site should participate in installation.
• Any authorized entrant should be accompanied by at least one authorized attendant to monitor conditions inside and outside
the permit spaces during installation.
• Prior to installation, be aware of all potential fall, trip, and atmospheric hazards in the permit space, both before and after an
entrance cover is removed.

PRODUCT AND INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
Featuring durable stainless steel, Kasco’s SM-100 Suspended Mount positions CertiSafe™ Tank Mixers securely within the tank for
effective water movement. This manual will provide instructions for mounting a CertiSafe™ unit using the SM-100 and installing the
entire assembly within the tank.
• Read these instructions thoroughly prior to installation.
• Contact your CertiSafe™ representative for specic recommendations as necessary.
• The cord grip and cable support equipment described here are supplied with the mixer unit.
• To prevent galling, we recommend a moisture-cured, polyurethane compound sealant suitable for contact with potable water and
certied to meet the shrinkage for interior and exterior use. Refer to NSF/ANSI Standard 61 for indirect additives.
• Be aware of clearance between the mixer assembly and any xed objects within the tank, including ladders, ensuring that there is
enough room for the CertiSafe™ unit to function correctly and avoid damage to any protective coatings.
• Please consult your CertiSafe™ sales representative for mixer mount placement, retrieval, and inspection requirements.
Note: some parts will arrive pre-assembled from Kasco; however, all assembly steps are listed for reference.

CERTISAFE™ TANK MIXER MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONSCERTISAFE™ TANK MIXER MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS
Electrical Troubleshooting
• If a unit fails to operate, you can use a series of simple checks to determine the general cause.
• Once you’ve located the fault, please contact your distributor for information on how to proceed with repair.
Is the GFCI Tripped?
1. If yes, reset the GFCI and check operation.
2. If the GFCI continues to trip, disconnect the unit in the panel and reset the GFCI.
• If the GFCI doesn’t trip, the fault lies in the unit or its cord.
• If the GFCI continues to trip, the fault lies in the control panel power source.
Is the cord damaged?
1. With the power off, perform a visual inspection of the power cord.
• If there is visible damage, contact your distributor for repair options.
What happens with an alternate
power source?
1. If the power cord and unit appear to be in good condition, safely plug it into an
alternate GFCI-protected power source.
• If the unit starts and continues to run, fault lies in the control panel or power
source.
• If the alternate GFCI continues to trip, fault lies in the unit or cord.
GFCI
• GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) is a safety feature
that can alert you to problems with the mixer. It is important
to test the GFCI upon installation, after each re-installation,
and regularly thereafter to ensure consistent operation. If
you experience repeat interruptions, disconnect and remove
the equipment. Inspect the power cord and unit (mixer) for
damage. If no damage is apparent, please contact your
Kasco distributor or representative for further instruction.
Observation
• Monitor the operating mixer for any reduction or variation in
performance.
• Inspect the mixer annually and clean as needed to allow for
heat dissipation and to verify that the propeller is clean and
free of nicks.
• Inspect the power cable annually for damage or abrasion
and replace as necessary.
• Regularly clean all external rotating parts and examine them
for wear.
• If you note a deciency in performance, remove the equip-
ment from service and inspect for any damage or failure. If
you observe any canister leakage during annual inspection,
send the mixer to Kasco’s factory for service and repair.
Cleaning
• The stainless-steel motor housing needs to be kept clean in
order to allow heat to effectively dissipate.
Seal and Oil Replacement
• Replacing the seal and changing the oil every 3-5 years will
add reliability and longevity to the mixer.
• Seal replacement and all other repair services should be
performed by Kasco Marine.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect electrical power prior to any maintenance or servicing!

NON-WARRANTY REPAIRS
You can often repair failed equipment at a lower cost than re-
placement. Kasco Marine estimates repairs at the request of the
customer. This request should include a daytime phone number
and e-mail address.
Estimate options are as follows:
• Kasco contacts the customer with a repair total after we
evaluate the unit, but before we perform the work quoted.
• Customer pre-approves repair of the unit if costs are below
a stated dollar amount. Example: “Please repair if total is
under $150.00 before shipping charges.”
Kasco will recycle any unit we receive for estimate but which
the customer declines to repair, unless the customer species
otherwise. If the customer would like the product returned, Kasco
will return the unit to the condition in which we received it, and
we will ship it at the customer’s expense.
Billing
Contact Kasco to arrange payment for any non-warranty repairs.
We will request payment information upon customer approval of
the estimate.
