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 a nylon tie 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 installation/
reinstallation of the unit to ensure proper functioning.

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 16.)
It is extremely important that proper and sufficient voltage (240/208V) is supplied to the Fountain mo-
tor. Each 240V Fountain is supplied with a UL and CSA approved GFCB Protected Control Panel.
The Fountain is to be plugged into the external outlet on the C-85 or hardwired into the C-95 panel.
The panel must have 4 wire service (L1, L2, neutral, and ground) installed by a qualified electrician.
(See Instructions on pages 14 and 15).
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.
