Inspect the Shipment

Immediately inspect your Kasco Aerator shipment for any visible damages.  Also cross-reference the parts 

supplied with the Parts Included sheet to check for shortages.  Shortages should be reported immediately to 

your Kasco Marine distributor or representative and damages reported to your carrier and Kasco Marine.

Assembly & Installation

Please see the proper Assembly and Installation Instructions enclosed in this manual.  Each is specific for 

your model and size of aerator. 
•  Use a nylon tie to help keep the power cords for the unit and lights free of the propeller by tying each 

cord to either side of the float. If you have a light kit, make sure that the unit cord is tied to one side of 

the float and the light cord to the other for balance.  

•  It is extremely important to test the GFCI breaker in the control panel upon each installation/re-installa-

tion of the unit to ensure proper functioning.

Use & Operation

Kasco aerators are designed and engineered for continuous duty, such as on fish farms or other aquacul

-

ture applications, or on-demand use, as needed in a recreational water feature. During flotation operation, 

the water is pulled from 360 degrees around the unit and from below the unit. The water is pulled upward 

and thrust through the flotation collar into the air. Your Kasco Marine aerator is ready for immediate use 

(after installation). Make sure to keep the motor housing clean from hard water deposits and/or algae. (See 

Maintenance Recommendations.) It is extremely important that proper and sufficient voltage is supplied to 

the aerator motor. Unit should be protected by a GFCI. Control panels must be installed by a qualified elec

-

trician. (See Installation instructions).
