5.1JF ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

 

STEP ONE 

Remove all contents from package and place on a 
clean, flat surface.  Inspect the shipment for any dam-
ages.  If damages are found, immediately notify your 
carrier and your Kasco Marine, Inc. representative.  
Next, cross reference the parts included in the ship-
ment with the Parts Included sheet in this manual on 
page 9.  Make sure you have all the parts needed.  If 
any shortages are found, contact your Kasco repre-
sentative immediately. 
 

STEP TWO 

Arrange the three Float Sections (Part #B1) upright 
(plug on bottom) so the overlap of one section aligns 
with the next section and loosely push the three sec-
tions together to form a continuous ring. 

 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

STEP THREE 

Position one Top Float Bracket (Part #B2) so that the 
bolt holes in the bracket align with the bolt holes in 
the two adjoined float sections and insert two 9” 
Coated Bolts (Part #B4) through the assembly.  This 
may require some minor repositioning of the float 
sections as you push the bolt all the way through.  

Do 

not force the bolt through.

  Repeat for the remaining 

two joints. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

STEP FOUR 

Turn the assembly upside down and place the Bottom 
Float Brackets (Part #B3) over the bolts, the ends of 
which should now be extending through the assem-
bly.  Loosely install the six 3/8” Lock Nuts (Part 
#B5) on the ends of the bolts (do not tighten yet).  
Connect the Top and Bottom Float Brackets using 
three 1/4” x 3/4” 
Bolts (Part #B7) 
with three 1/4” 
Lock Washers 
(Part #B8) and 
three 1/4” Nuts 
(Part #B12) and 
tighten using the 
7/16” wrench and 
socket.  

 

 
STEP FIVE 

Stand the assembly on its side and center the Top 
Screen (Part #B10) inside the three Top Float Brack-
ets.  Attach the screen by spanning each Top Screen 
Clip (Part #B11) across the two innermost rings on 
the screen and the 
hole in the float 
bracket.  Insert the 
3/4” Brass Screws 
(Part #B14) and at-
tach with 1/4” Lock 
Washers and 1/4” 
Nuts to secure the 
screen to the float 
assembly. 

 
STEP SIX 

Return the assembly to the upside down position and 
place the motor assembly (Stainless Steel can side up, 
black pump down) in the center of the float.  Attach 
the motor to the float using the Unit Mounting Brack-
ets (Part #B6).  The lower notch of the Unit Mounting 
Bracket should be positioned over the top ring of the 
cage and should be attached to the Float Bracket us-
ing the two lowest holes (closest to the Lower 
Bracket) of the Top Float Bracket.  Tighten using the 
1/4” x 3/4” Bolts with 1/4” Lock Washers using the 
7/16” socket and wrench.  
 (See pictures on next page)  

Note: If you have trou-

ble positioning the Unit Mounting Bracket between 
the Cage and Fountain Housing, you can use a 
screwdriver to gently pry open enough space.
