UNIT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Note:
Before installing 3-phase units (2�3JF, 3�3JF, 5�3JF, 7�3JF,
2�3HJF, 3�3HJF, 5�3HJF, 7�3HJF) into the pond, please refer to
3-phase startup procedure on page 12�
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�

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�
