3-PHASE STARTUP PROCEDURE
If a Kasco Control Panel is not provided, please refer to the following warnings:
When inherent overheating protection is not provided: use with approved motor control that matches motor input in full load amperes
with overload element(s) selected or adjusted in accordance with control instructions�
Utiliser un démarreur approuvé convenant au
courant à pleine charge du moteur et dont les éléments thermiques sont réglés ou choisis conformément aux instructions qui l’accom-
pagnent.
When inherent overheating protection is provided: use with approved motor control that matches motor input in full load amperes� See
table below�
Utiliser un démarreur approuvé convenant au courant à pleine charge du moteur.
Note: The motor input in full load amperes is the marked value or the service factor amperes, shown on the nameplate�

Control panels must be installed by a qualified electrician.
If unit is connected to a circuit protected by a fuse, use a time-delay fuse with this pump�
You must verify motor rotation before installing the unit in the water.
3-phase Kasco units will run in a clockwise rotation when
looking down at the propeller� Keep clear of the propeller while verifying rotation� Air will be blowing out (up) of the pump chamber when
rotating in the correct direction� If a Kasco 3-phase panel is supplied, follow the instructions included with the panel in addition to the
steps below�
Electrician:
1�
Verify all screw terminal connections are tightened to specified torque setting prior to energizing the panel.
2� Verify the electrical service (voltage and phase) matches the control panel and fountain nameplate ratings� Refer to the control
panel instructions and schematics for installation details�
3� Verify all switches, circuit breakers, and motor starters are in the OFF position
4� Connect electrical service to the control panel as shown in the electrical schematic that came with the panel�
5� Connect the fountain power cord to the panel as shown in the electrical schematic�
6� Set the motor starter overload to the FLA rating on the fountain nameplate�
7� Pump rotation: The pump rotation is clockwise when looking down at the propeller� Apply power to the control panel� Turn on the
15-amp control circuit breaker and motor starter�
8� Momentarily turn the Hand-Off-Auto switch to Hand� This will run the fountain� Do not run the fountain for more than a few seconds
on shore� If the rotation is not correct, disconnect and lock out power from the control panel� Swap any two of the fountain power
cord wires in the panel� This will cause the motor to reverse direction� Reapply power to the panel and verify the rotation is clock-
wise�
9�
Once rotation is verified, with the power disconnected and locked out again, continue with installation of the fountain on page 9.
