Assembly Instructions Step 1 Place the float (D) over the unit assembly (G). Ensure the three channels on the inside of the float line up with the threaded holes in the baseplate, and the Kasco logo on the top side of the float lines up with the power cord on the unit assembly. This will allow the power cord to run in the power cord channel on the underside of the float later.
Step 3 On the underside of the float, start threading the (3) 3/8 – 16 x 1/2’’ serrated hex head screws (I), but do not tighten down at this time. Leave Gap Step 4 Lift the unit and slide the bottom float screen (H) over the can and up to the bottom of the float, allowing the unit power cord to exit between them in the dedicated channel.
Step 5 Twist the screen clockwise (as viewed from the bottom) so that the flanges in the screen grab the serrated hex head screws. Tighten all three serrated hex head screws to secure the screen to the bottom of the float, being sure not to pinch the power cord. 9/16’’ side of wrench tool required. Tighten all 3 screws to secure float screen Step 6 Using included cable ties (L), attach the unit power cord to one of the rope holes for strain relief as shown below.
Nozzle Installation Instructions After removing the current nozzle and ensuring that the nozzle O-ring (F) is properly seated in its groove, twist the selected nozzle (E) clockwise (as viewed from the top) so that the flanges in the nozzle lock into place on the top of the pump chamber by hand. Twist until the nozzle flanges can move no further and are completely snug. Nozzles can be changed conveniently without removing the float or using any tools.

Use ropes to position the fountain in the desired location in the pond or lake. Anchor the ropes or secure them to the shoreline so that they are free of slack, but not tight.
