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’accompagnent.
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 namplate.

Control panels must be installed by a qualified electri-
cian.
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.
3phase Kasco units will run in a clockwise rotation
when looking down at the propeller. Stand clear of the
propeller while verifying rotation. If a Kasco 3 phase
panel is supplied, follow the intructions with the panel.
Also follow 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 aerator nameplates
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 this control panel as
shown in the electrical schematic that came with the
panel.
5. Connect the Aerator power cord to this panel as shown
in the electrical schematic.
6. Set the motor starter overload to the FLA rating on the
aerator nameplate.
7. Pump rotation: The pump rotation is clockwise
when looking down at the propeller. Apply power to
the control panel. Turn on the 15amp control circuit
breaker, and motor starter.
8. Momentarily turn the Hand-Off-Auto switch to Hand.
This will run the aerator. Do not run the aerator 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 aerator power cord
wires in the panel. This will cause the motor to reverse
direction. Reapply power to the panel and verify the
rotation is clockwise.
9. Once rotation is verified, with the power disconnected
and locked out again, continue with installation of the
aerator as detailed in the owner’s manual.
Record the following data while the unit is operating
in the water under load:
Voltage:
Amperage:
L1-L2 ____________
L1_______________
L1-L3 ____________
L2_______________
L2-L3 ____________
L3_______________
Current unbalance should not exceed 5% at full load
