Important Safety
Please read and follow these extremely important safety
and handling instructions for your Kasco equipment.
Following these instructions will help ensure your safety
and the quality performance of your equipment.
• Under NO circumstances should anyone enter the
water with the electrical equipment plugged in and/or
in operation. All Kasco equipment is ETL approved
to UL and CSA standards for safety in water and all
fountain models include control panels with GFI
protection. However, it is NEVER recommended to
enter the water with the equipment in operation.
• Caution should be used when dealing with any
electrical equipment with moving parts.
• NEVER run the unit out of water. It will damage the
seals and create a dangerous situation for the operator.
• Extreme caution should be used around water,
especially cold water, such as in Spring, Fall, and
Winter, which poses a hazard in and of itself.
• NEVER lift or drag the fountain by the power or light
cord. If you need to pull the unit to the side of the
pond, use the anchoring ropes.
• Do not use waders in deep ponds/lakes or ponds/lakes
with drop-offs, drastic slopes, or soft bottom material.
• Do not use boats that tip easily for fountain installation,
such as a canoe, and follow all boating safety rules
and regulations, including wearing a PFD. (Personal
Flotation Device)
• The fountain is supplied with an internal grounding
conductor and a grounding-type attachment plug. To
reduce the risk of electrical shock, be certain that the
fountain is plugged into the C-25 Control Box (120V)
supplied by Kasco and that the C-25 is plugged into
a properly grounded, grounding type receptacle. The
GFCI breakers should be tested upon each installation
and every month thereafter to ensure proper operation.
General Instructions
INSPECT THE SHIPMENT
Immediately inspect your Kasco Fountain shipment for any
visible damages. Also cross reference the parts supplied

Shortages should be reported immediately to your Kasco
Marine distributor or representative and damages reported

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 water 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 on power
cords to the float for strain relief. 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 bearings
are submerged in oil and no further lubrication is
needed. Make sure to keep the motor housing clean
