Installation Instructions

Use the ropes to position the Fountain in the desired
location in the pond/lake. Anchor the ropes or secure
them to the shoreline so the ropes are free of slack, but
not tight. To prevent twisting of the unit due to torque,
you should place the anchor at least 3 feet from the
float for each foot of depth (Ex. A 6 foot deep pond
would require an anchor 18 feet horizontally from the
float.)

ALTERNATE INSTALLATION

In ponds where the water level fluctuates significantly,
you may need to suspend a small weight (12" of 1"
galvanize pipe works well) at the mid-point of the
rope to take up any slack as the water level drops. The
weight should be light enough so the Fountain can rise
as the water level rises. This can also help hide ropes
by sinking them further below the surface.

Control Panel Installation

STEP ONE
Inspect the panel for any damage and any components
that may have loosened during shipping.
Control panel must be installed a minimum of 5ft (3m
in Canada) from the inside wall of the pond, unless
separated from the body of water by a fence wall,
or other permanent barrier that will make the unit
inaccessible to persons in the water.
Install the control panel to a post structure, side of a
building, or other reliable means. This structure must
support the panel and prevent movement/flexing of the
panel. Use #10 x 1" or longer screws in the mounting
points of the control panel to secure to the post
structure. NOTE: The control panel must be hung
upright in order to be waterproof. It is also advised
to mount the panel out of direct sunlight if possible.
Mounting the panel in a North direction will prevent
heat buildup inside the panel. Also, mount the panel
above the potential flood plain to prevent water entry
during a possible flood event.
STEP TWO
Set Timer in the control panel to desired ON and OFF
times per the Instructions for each specific timer.
STEP THREE
Follow all local and national electrical codes for
this installation and Consult a qualified electrician
or service person if needed.
(For 120V Installations)
Plug the aerator cord into the C-25 outlet labeled
"UNIT". If lights are included, plug the Transformer
cord into the C-25 outlet labeled "LIGHT". Now you
are ready to plug the C-25 into the 120V power supply
on the post and ENJOY YOUR NEW KASCO AERA-
TOR!
STEP THREE (For 240V Installation)
All electrical connections to this panel must be made
with proper strain relief cord grip fittings or with
conduit connections as required by local and national
electric codes. The bottom of the enclosure is reserved
for field installation of these connections.
