STEP THIRTEEN
Float the circulator in the water and position where
desired. Tie the front Rope to a stake on the shore or
weight. If a weight is used sink weight in front of unit
so rope is taught. (Circulators create great force, make
sure weight is enough to prevent movement.) Tie back
Rope to a stake on opposite shore or weight. Sink
weight behind the unit so rope is taught. At this time
take up any slack in the line.
STEP FOURTEEN
You can now connect the Circulator into the RCD
protected power source at the ponds edge.
Maintenance Recommendations
Under No Circumstances should anyone enter
the water while a unit is operating. Turn Off and Dis-
connect electrical power prior to any Maintenance or
Servicing
RCD (Residual Current Device) or GFCI are a safety
feature that can also alert you to electrical leaks in the
equipment. It is extremely important to test the RCD
upon installation, each reinstallation, and monthly
thereafter to ensure proper operation. If you have
repeat, consistent trips on your ground fault, the equip-
ment should be disconnected and removed from the
water. The power cord should be inspected for dam-
age and you should call a Kasco Marine distributor or
representative for further instructions.
If the supply cord becomes damaged, it must be
replaced by an authorized service center, or similarly
qualifi ed persons in order to avoid a hazard.
OBSERVATION: Operating equipment should be
observed on a regular basis (daily, if possible) for any
reduction or variation in performance. If a change in
performance is observed, the equipment should be dis-
connected from power and inspected for any material
STEP TEN
Attach the Angle Bracket on the motor to the Angle
Bracket on the Float using two 1/4” x 1/2” Bolts and
two 1/4” Lock Nuts (one set for each Bracket). See
photos for orientation based on model size. Also, the
cord clamp on the cage should be oriented toward the
Float.

STEP ELEVEN
Attach the Draw Band on the motor to the Adjustment
Bracket on the Float using a 1/4” x 1/2” Bolt and a
1/4” Lock Nut. Select one of the fi ve possible posi-
tions to mount the Draw Band for your preferred
direction of fl ow. We do not recommend the two outer
(most upward and most downward) mounting posi-
tions for 8400 models.

STEP TWELVE
Attach the Ropes to the front (on the cage) and back
(around the Draw Band) of the motor. At this time,
use the Nylon Tie provided to connect the power cord
and front Rope to prevent the cord from tangling in the
prop. Also, if the power cord has a Quick Disconnect
and Additional Strain Relief install the Quick Discon-
nect and Strain Relief per instructions.
