Important Safety

Please read and follow these extremely important
safety and handling instructions for your Kasco equip-
ment. Following these instructions will help ensure
your safety and the quality performance of your equip-
ment.
• Under NO circumstances should anyone enter the
water with the electrical equipment plugged in
and/or in operation. All Kasco equipment is ETL
approved to UL and CSA standards for safety in
water and all fountain models include control pan-
els with GFI protection. However, it is NEVER
recommended to enter the water with the equip-
ment in operation.
• Caution should be used when dealing with any
electrical equipment with moving parts.
• NEVER run the unit out of water. It will damage
the seals and create a dangerous situation for the
operator.
• Extreme caution should be used around water,
especially cold water, such as in Spring, Fall, and
Winter, which poses a hazard in and of itself.
• NEVER lift or drag the fountain by the power or
light cord. If you need to pull the unit to the side
of the pond, use the anchoring ropes.
• Do not use waders in deep ponds/lakes or ponds/
lakes with drop-offs, drastic slopes, or soft bottom
material.
• Do not use boats that tip easily for fountain in-
stallation, such as a canoe, and follow all boating
safety rules and regulations, including wearing a
2
PFD. (Personal Flotation Device)
• The fountain is supplied with an internal ground-
ing conductor and a grounding-type attachment
plug. To reduce the risk of electrical shock,
be certain that the fountain is plugged into the
C-25 Control Box (120V) or C-85 Control Panel
(240/208V) supplied by Kasco and that the C-25
is plugged into a properly grounded, grounding
type receptacle or the C-85 is wired properly. The
GFCI breakers should be tested upon each instal-
lation and every month thereafter to ensure proper
operation.

General Instructions

INSPECT THE SHIPMENT
Immediately inspect your Kasco Fountain shipment
for any visible damages. Also cross reference the
parts supplied with the Parts Included sheet to check
for shortages. Shortages should be reported immedi-
ately to your Kasco Marine distributor or representa-
tive and damages reported to your carrier and Kasco
Marine.
CAUTION
WARNING: Under NO circumstances should anyone
enter the water with the unit in operation. Always
operate the unit in the water and keep people and ob-
jects clear of the propeller. Do not lift or pull the unit
by the electrical cord. Always use extreme caution
around electrical equipment and water situations.
ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
Please see the proper Assembly and Installation In-
structions enclosed in this manual. Each is specific for
your model and size of Fountain. Note: Use a nylon
tie to help keep the power cords for the unit and lights
free of the propeller by tying each cord to either side
of the float. If you have a light kit, make sure that the
unit cord is tied to one side of the float and the light
cord to the other for balance. Note: It is extremely
important to test the GFI breaker in the control panel
upon each installation/reinstallation of the unit to en-
sure proper functioning.
