GENERAL OWNER’S 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 im-
mediately to your Kasco Marine distributor or representative 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 objects clear of the propeller. Do not lift or
pull the unit by the electrical cord. Always use extreme caution around electrical equipment and wa-
ter situations.
ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
Please see the proper Assembly and Installation Instructions enclosed in this manual. Each is specific
for your model and size of Fountain.
Note:
Use the nylon tie provided 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 instal-
lation/reinstallation of the unit to ensure proper functioning.
WARRANTY

withstand the toughest conditions. Kasco Marine backs each 3400JF model Fountain with a 2 Year
Warranty. This warranty covers any and all manufacturers defects within 2 years from the date of
purchase (See Warranty, Warranty Claim, & Return Policy on pages 12 & 13). Please register your

USE AND OPERATION
Kasco Fountains are designed and engineered for continuous duty, such as on fish farms or other
aquaculture applications, or on-demand use, as needed in a recreational water feature.
During flotation operation, the water is pulled from 360
O
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 bear-
ings 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 on page 11.)
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 GFI 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 (See C-25 Instructions on page 9). Each 240V Fountain
is supplied with a UL and CSA approved C-85 GFCB Protected Control Panel. The Fountain is to be
plugged into the external outlet on the C-85 or hardwired into the panel. The C-85 must have 4 wire
service (L1, L2, neutral, and ground) installed by a qualified electrician. (See Instructions on page 10).
It is extremely important to test the GFI breaker in the control panel upon each installation and rein-
stallation and every month thereafter to ensure proper operation.
Kasco Fountains are lightweight, energy efficient, and easy to install and operate. We strive to pro-
duce products that exceed customer expectations. We hope you enjoy your Kasco Fountain.
