Shock Hazard
SAFETY FIRST
• Please read and follow these important instructions to help ensure your safety and the quality
performance of your Kasco equipment.
• 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).
• 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 (Personal Flotation Device).
•
Do not use waders in deep ponds/lakes or ponds/lakes with drop-offs, drastic slopes, or soft bottom
material.
•
Control panels must be installed by a qualified electrician.
• For more information regarding your control panel instructions, refer to your control panel owner’s
manual. A control panel must be installed a minimum of 5 feet (3m in Canada) from the body of water
unless separated from the body of water by a fence, wall, or other permanent barrier that will make
the unit inaccessible to persons in the water. A complete list of control panels can be found in the
During flotation operation, water is pulled from 360° around and directly below the unit. Keep these
areas clear of debris as much as possible to decrease frequency of screen cleaning.
