IMPORTANT SAFETY
• Please read and follow these important instructions to help ensure your safety and the quality performance of your Kasco equip-
ment�
• Use caution when dealing with any electrical and/or moving equipment�
• Under NO CIRCUMSTANCE should anyone enter the water with the electrical equipment plugged in and/or in operation�
•
Kasco Aerating Fountains are intended for use with a Listed control panel having a GFCI protected receptacle, or field wiring
terminals and disconnect switch, or a timer with a disconnect for use with a GFCI receptacle� Control panels MUST be installed by
a qualified electrician. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) should be tested upon each installation and every month thereafter
to ensure proper operation�
• Single-phase units are supplied with an internal grounding conductor and/or a grounding-type attachment plug� To reduce the risk
of electrical shock, be certain the unit is properly connected to the Kasco-supplied control panel (refer to the instructions included
with your control panel)�
• 3-phase units (2�3JF, 3�3JF, 5�3JF, 7�3JF, 2�3HJF, 3�3HJF, 5�3HJF, 7�3HJF) require a startup test after wiring to ensure proper
rotation of the impeller� If the impeller is rotating in the opposite direction, the unit will not perform properly and internal damage to
the unit may occur (see 3-phase startup procedure on page 12)�
• NEVER run the unit out of the water� This will damage the seals and create a dangerous situation for the operator�
• Use extreme caution around water, especially cold water, as in Spring, Fall, and Winter, which poses a hazard in and of itself�
• NEVER lift or drag the equipment by the power cords� If you need to pull the unit to the side of the pond, use the anchoring ropes�
• Do not use boats that tip easily for installation and follow all boating safety rules and regulations, including wearing a PFD (Person-
al Flotation Device)� Do not use waders in deep ponds/lakes or ponds/lakes with drop-offs, drastic slopes, or soft bottom material�
• For more information regarding your control panel instructions, refer to your control panel owner’s manual� A control panel must be
