Important Safety: 

Please read and follow these important instructions to help ensure your safety and the quality performance of your Kasco 
equipment. 

 

Caution should be used 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 aerators are supplied with an internal grounding conductor and/or a grounding-type attachment plug. 
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, be certain the aerator is properly connected to the Kasco-supplied control 
panel (refer to the instructions included with your C-85 or C-95 Control Panel). 

 

3-phase aerators (2.3VFX, 5.3VFX, 2.3HVFX, 5.3HVFX) require a startup test after wiring to ensure proper rotation 
of the propeller. If the propeller 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 11). 

 

NEVER run the unit out of the water. This will damage the seals and create a dangerous situation for the operator. 

 

Extreme caution should be used around water, especially cold water, as in Spring, Fall, and Winter, which poses a 
hazard in and of itself.
