can also alert you to electrical leaks in the equipment. If
you have repeat, consistent trips of the ground fault device,
the equipment should be disconnected and removed from
the water. The power cord should be inspected for dam-
age and you should contact your distributor, or call Kasco
Marine at 715-262-4488 for further instructions or email
Kasco at [email protected].
OBSERVATION: Operating equipment should be observed
on a regular basis (daily, if possible) for any reduction or
variation in performance. If a change in performance is ob-
served, the equipment should be disconnected from power
and inspected.
WINTER STORAGE: In regions where there is significant
freezing in the wintertime, the fountain and light kit should
be removed from the water to protect them from the expan-
sion pressure of the ice. In many areas, fountains will keep
some amount of ice open through the winter. However,
when the water is thrust into the air, it is exposed to the
colder air temperatures longer and can actually make ice
thicker on the pond/lake. Storage over winter is best in a
location that is out of the sun and cool, but above 32° F.
CLEANING: Fountains and light kits should be removed
from the water at least once per year (at the end of the
season in cold climates) to clean the exterior of the sys-
tem, especially the stainless steel motor housing (can) and
light fixtures. The motor housing and light fixture surfaces
dissipate heat into the water and any algae, calcium, etc.
build-up will become an insulator that blocks heat trans-
fer. In warmer regions it is recommended that the motor
is removed and cleaned at least two to three times per year
depending on conditions. In most cases a power washer
will be sufficient if the unit and algae are still wet. Also
make sure the lens of the light fixtures is clean to ensure the
brightest light possible.
FIXTURE REPLACEMENT: The LED light fixtures
are sealed and do not require any maintenance other than
cleaning. If a fixture fails to operate it can be removed and
the sealing cap installed onto the waterproof connector of
the power cord. This will allow you to continue to operate
your light kit with two fixtures while a replacement fixture
is procured. Only perform this removal/replacement with
all equipment disconnected from the power source.
Any required repairs need to be performed by Kasco Ma-
rine. Any alterations or changes made to Kasco units by an
unauthorized source will void the warranty. This includes
tampering with the unit, power cord, and/or control box.

1. Turn the unit upside down. Loosen and remove the
3/8” nuts on the three 9” bolts that are closest to the
motor unit. Place 2 Lower Float Brackets(Part #1) and
one 3/8” washer(Part #2) on each of the 9” bolts over
the bottom screen clips and replace the 3/8” nut.
2. Arrange the brackets into the position shown and
tighten down the nuts. Once the brackets are secure,
turn the unit back into its upright position.
3. Follow the instruction on the previous page
(LED3125 Assembly instructions) to mount the light
kit to the brackets.
Maintenance Recommendations
•
Under No Circumstances should anyone enter the
water while a fountain is operating.
•
Please keep the original box for maintenance shipping.
The following maintenance procedures can be utilized to
ensure many years of quality performance from your Kasco
Fountain and Light Kit and reduce the need for more costly
repair work.
PROPER INSTALLATION: Proper installation of Kasco
equipment will include a power source with ground fault
protection. For Fountain models, Kasco provided control
panels included with the unit have built-in ground fault pro-
tection. Ground fault interrupters are a safety feature that
