Maintenance Recommendations
** Please keep the original box for mainte-
nance shipping. **
The following maintenance procedures can be
utilized to ensure many years of quality perfor-
mance from your Kasco Low Voltage Light-
ing and reduce the need for more costly repair
work.
PROPER INSTALLATION: Kasco Low
Voltage Lighting must be used with a prop-
erly sized 12V AC Transformer. The wattage
of the transformer must be greater than the
total sum wattage of the lights used on that
circuit. The Low Voltage Lighting wires must
be wired into the transformer per instructions
included with the transformer. The White and
Black wires are the HOT wires, Green is the
GROUND wire. Each light fi xture must be
submerged at least 1” below the water surface
for proper cooling during operation.
OBSERVATION: Operating equipment
should be observed on a regular basis (daily, if
possible) for any reduction or variation in per-
formance. If a change in performance is ob-
served, the light should be disconnected from
power and inspected for any debris buildup.
Any buildup should be removed with a brush
or pressure washer. Make sure the lens of the
light is clean to ensure the brightest light.
WINTER STORAGE: In regions where there
is signifi cant freezing in the wintertime, the
Low Voltage Lighting should be removed from
the water to protect them from the expansion
pressure of the ice.
CLEANING: Low Voltage Lighting should
be removed from the water at least once per
year (at the end of the season in cold climates)
to clean the exterior of the system, especially
fi xtures. The bronze light fi xtures is the sur-
face that dissipates heat into the water and any
algae, calcium, etc. build-up will become an
insulator that blocks heat transfer. In warmer
regions it is recommended that the Low Volt-
age Lighting is removed and cleaned at least
two to three times per year depending on
conditions. In most cases a power washer will
be suffi cient if the unit and algae are still wet.
Also make sure the lens of the light fi xtures is
clean to ensure the brightest light possible.
Repair services should be performed by Kasco
Marine or a Kasco trained Authorized Repair
Center. Any alterations or changes made to
Kasco units by an unauthorized source will
void the warranty. This includes tamper-
ing with the unit, power cord, and/or control
box. Please contact Kasco Marine, Inc. at
