Note: There is a small gap after tightening
For seasonal removal, your quick disconnect includes
an optional water tight cover. Simply separate the
quick disconnect and insert the sealing cover into the
large blue nut half and tighten fi rmly.
Strain Relief
The Strain Relief must be installed to protect the
Quick Disconnect from damage due to excessive
strain. The Strain Relief should be installed on the
user supplied cord length (not on the Kasco supplied
stub cord). It should be position about 15cm from the
Quick Disconnect. To install, insert the narrow end of
the elongated clamp with the chain connected into the
wide end of the short clamp. Use a rubber mallet to
tap the two pieces together securely. A Nylon Tie can
be used to keep it attached to the cord. The chain can
then be attached to the fl oat.
Wire Sizing & Gland Sizing
The chart below shows the proper Gland to be used
with different cord sizes. The measurements are based
on the Outside Diameter (O.D.) of the cord. Smooth,
round cords should be used.

STEP FIVE
Prepare your supplied Resin Kit by removing the cap
from the resin tube and pushing the resin nozzle onto
the tube. Then twist the nozzle to lock in place.
Plunger Resin Tube Nozzle
Before applying to the quick disconnect, use the
plunger to evenly push out a small amount of resin to
get a proper mix of of the 2-part epoxy. Then apply
resin into the housing, enough to cover the wires and
contacts. The resin should be about 3mm onto the
cord jacket. Note: Adding too much resin may cause
excess to be forced into the female end of the pin
connector, preventing proper connection of the two
halves.

time is needed for the epoxy before full assembly.
STEP SEVEN
Once the two subassemblies have been completed,
they can be joined together. Plug pin assembly into
the socket assembly and tighten the large blue nut
securely. The blue nut should be hand tightened only.
