Back to Contents ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS 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. Dedicated power cord channel D G 2.
Back to Contents ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS (CONT.) 3. On the underside of the float, line up the (3) bottom screen clips (I) and start threading in the (3) 3/8-16 x 1/2’’ serrated hex head screws (J), but do not tighten down at this time. Be sure the clips can slide back and forth freely. I J See “Troubleshooting” on pg. 17 for extra help deciding which mesh screen should be installed. Kasco recommends the 3/4’’ mesh screen (M) for all standard nozzles and the 1/4’’ mesh screen (L) for premium nozzles. 4.
Back to Contents ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS (CONT.) 9. Lift the unit and slide the bottom float screen (H) with the mesh over the can and up to the bottom of the float, allowing the unit power cord to exit between them in the dedicated channel. Dedicated power cord channel H 10. Slide the clips toward the center and over the bottom screen so that one of the vertical bars is between the two flanges on each clip as shown.
Back to Contents ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS (CONT.) 11. Using included cable ties (O), attach the unit power cord to one of the rope holes for strain relief as shown below. Cord Strain Relief Providing strain relief on the cord helps ensure that its weight and any strain placed on it in the water will not cause the float to tilt or cause damage to the unit. If your Kasco cord comes with a strain relief kit attached, attach the available link to the float-side knot in the mooring rope, as pictured here.
Back to Contents 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.
