IMPORTANT: disconnect electrical power prior to any maintenance or servicing!
GFCI
GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) is a safety feature that can alert you to problems with the mixer.
It is important to test the GFCI upon installation, after each re-installation, and regularly thereafter
to ensure consistent operation. If you experience repeat interruptions, disconnect and remove the
equipment. Inspect the power cord and unit (mixer) for damage. If no damage is apparent, please contact
your Kasco distributor or representative for further instruction.
Observation
•
Monitor the operating mixer for any reduction or variation in performance.
•
Inspect the mixer annually and clean as needed to allow for heat dissipation and to verify that the
propeller is clean and free of nicks.
•
Inspect the power cable annually for damage or abrasion and replace as necessary.
•
Regularly clean all external rotating parts and examine them for wear.
•
If you note a deficiency in performance, remove the equipment from service and inspect for any
damage or failure. If you observe any canister leakage during annual inspection, send the mixer to
Kasco’s factory for service and repair.
Cleaning
The stainless-steel motor housing needs to be kept clean in order to allow heat to effectively dissipate.
Seal and Oil Replacement
•
Replacing the seal and changing the oil every 3-5 years will add reliability and longevity to the mixer.
•
Seal replacement and all other repair services should be performed by Kasco Marine.
Electrical Troubleshooting
•
If a unit fails to operate, you can use a series of simple checks to determine the general cause.
•
Once you’ve located the fault, please contact your distributor for information on how to proceed
with repair.
MIXER MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS
Is the GFCI Tripped?
1. If yes, reset the GFCI and check operation.
2. If the GFCI continues to trip, disconnect the unit in the panel and reset the GFCI.
• If the GFCI doesn’t trip, the fault lies in the unit or its cord.
• If the GFCI continues to trip, the fault lies in the control panel power source.
Is the cord damaged?
With the power off, perform a visual inspection of the power cord. If there is visible
damage, contact your distributor for repair options.
What happens with an
alternate power source?
If the power cord and unit appear to be in good condition, safely plug it into an
alternate GFCI-protected power source.
• If the unit starts and runs, fault lies in the control panel or power source.
• If the alternate GFCI continues to trip, fault lies in the unit or cord.
