General Instructions - Kasco J Series Operation & Maintenance Manual

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 immediately to
your Kasco Marine distributor or representative and damages reported to your carrier and Kasco Marine.
Assembly & Installation
Please see the proper Assembly and Installation Instructions enclosed in this manual. Each is specific for
your model and size of fountain.
• 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.
• It is extremely important to test the GFCI breaker in the control panel upon each installation/re-in-
stallation of the unit to ensure proper functioning.
Use & Operation
Kasco fountains are designed and engineered for continuous duty, such as on fish farms or other aquacul-
ture applications, or on-demand use, as needed in a recreational water feature. During flotation operation,
the water is pulled from 360 degrees around the unit and from below the unit. The water is pulled upward
and thrust through the flotation collar into the air.
Your Kasco Marine fountain is ready for immediate use (after installation). The motor and ball bearings are
submerged in oil, and no further lubrication is needed. Make sure to keep the motor housing clean from
hard water deposits and/or algae. (See Maintenance Recommendations.)
It is extremely important that proper and sufficient voltage (120V or 240/208V) is supplied to the Fountain
motor. Each 120V Fountain is supplied with a UL and CSA approved C-25 GFCI Protected Control Box. The
Fountain is to be plugged into the C-25 outlet labeled "UNIT" and the C-25 plugged into a properly grounded
receptacle. Each 240V Fountain is supplied with a UL and CSA approved C-85 GFCB Protected Control Panel.
The Fountain is to be hardwired into C-85 panel. The C-85 must have 4 wire service (L1, L2, neutral, and
ground) installed by a qualified electrician. It is extremely important to test the GFCI breaker in the control
panel upon each installation and re-installation and every month thereafter to ensure proper operation.
(See Control Panel Instructions.)
