Page 13: Installation Instructions
Back to Contents INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Use ropes to position the aerator in the desired location in the pond or lake. Anchor the ropes or secure them to the shoreline so that they are free of slack, but not tight. To prevent twisting of the unit due to motor torque, place the anchor at least 3 feet from the float for each foot of depth. -
Page 14: Three-Phase Startup Procedure
Keep clear of the propeller while verifying rotation. Air will be blowing out of (up, away from) the unit when rotating in the correct direction. If a Kasco 3-phase panel is supplied, follow the instructions included with the panel in addition to the steps below. -
Page 15: Maintenance Recommendations
If you have repeat/consistent trips on your ground fault, disconnect the equip- ment and remove it from the water. Inspect the power cord for damage and call Kasco Marine at 715- 262- 4488 for further instructions. -
Page 16: Troubleshooting Tips
A Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) breaker that trips can indicate an electrical service problem, water contamination in the unit and/or cord, bad breaker, control box problems, motor problems, etc. Try to find out the answers to these questions before you contact Kasco to narrow down the problem. - Page 17 “My aerator turns itself off and back on without the timer and without tripping the GFI breaker.” (for single phase units only) Each Kasco unit has a thermal overload built in that will turn the unit off when it overheats. Once the unit has cooled down, it will start back up. If you are noticing these symptoms, the unit should be unplugged immediately because the thermal overload will continue to turn on and off until it burns out and damages the motor.
