Use ropes to position the fountain 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 (Ex. a 6ft deep pond would require an
anchor 18ft horizontally from the float).
Alternate Installation:
In ponds where the water level fluctuates significantly, a small
weight may need to be suspended at the midpoint of the rope
to take up any slack caused by a drop in water level (1 foot
of 1’’ galvanized pipe works well). The weight should be light
enough so that the fountain can rise as the water level rises�
This weight can also help hide the anchoring ropes by sinking
them further below the surface�
UNIT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
After unit is installed in the water, connect the power cord to a
properly installed Kasco control panel (C-85, C-95, etc.) with built-in
ground fault protection according to the instructions and electrical
schematics included with the panel�
Follow all local and national
electrical codes for unit and control panel installation; consult
a qualified electrician or service person if needed.
The fountain is ready to be turned on and enjoyed�

Providing strain relief on the cord helps ensure that its weight
and any strain placed on it in the water will not cause the float
to tilt or cause damage to the unit�
If your Kasco cord comes with a strain relief kit attached, attach
the available link to the float-side knot in the mooring rope, as
pictured here�
