Unit Installation Instructions
Note: Before installing 3-phase units (2.3JF, 3.3JF, 5.3JF,
7.3JF, 2.3HJF, 3.3HJF, 5.3HJF, 7.3HJF) into the pond, please
refer to 3-phase startup procedure on page 13.
Use ropes (N) 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. To
prevent twisting of the unit due to motor torque, place the
anchor at least 3 feet from the float for each foot of depth (Ex.
a 6ft deep pond would require an anchor 18ft horizontally from
the float).
After unit is installed in the water, connect the power cord to a properly installed Kasco control panel (C-85, C-95, etc.) with built-in
ground fault protection according to the instructions and electrical schematics included with the panel. Follow all local and
national electrical codes for unit and control panel installation; consult a qualified electrician or service person if needed.
The fountain is ready to be turned on and enjoyed.
Alternate Installation:
In ponds where the water level fluctuates significantly, a small
weight may need to be suspended at the midpoint of the rope
to take up any slack caused by a drop in water level (1 foot of
1’’ galvanized pipe works well). The weight should be light
enough so that the fountain can rise as the water level rises.
This weight can also help hide the anchoring ropes by sinking
them further below the surface.
