STEP TWO (ALTERNATE INSTALLATION)


In ponds where the water level luctuates signiicantly, you
may need to suspend a small weight (12” of 1” galvanize
pipe works well) at the mid-point of the rope to take up any
slack as the water level drops. The weight should be light
enough so the Aerator can rise as the water level rises. This
can also help hide ropes by sinking them further below the
surface.

“My Aerator hums, but will not start. When I spin the prop
with a stick, it starts up.” (for single phase units only)
This indicated a problem with the Starting Ca-
pacitor. Each Kasco Aerator is equipped with a Starting
Capacitor to get the unit going when it is irst plugged in.
If it is operating, but not spinning and can be started by
spinning the prop with a stick, the Starting capacitor needs
to be replaced by an Authorized Repair Center.

“My Aerator turns itself off and back on without the timer
and without tripping the GFI breaker.” (for single phase
units only)
Each Kasco unit has a Thermal Overload built in
that will turn the unit off when it overheats. Once the unit
has cooled down, it will start back up. If you are noticing
these symptoms, the unit should be unplugged immediately
because the Thermal Overload will continue to turn on
and off until it burns out and damages the motor. The unit
should be unplugged and taken out of the water to ind the
cause of the problem. The problem could be one of many,
such as, low water levels, build-up on the unit to prevent
heat dissipation, something inhibiting the free rotation of
the shaft, etc. If something is caught in the unit or there is a
build-up on the unit, remove the debris and, if caught early
enough, the unit should be ine. Contact a Kasco represen-
tative before restarting the unit.

“My Aerator low seems to luctuate and/or be less than


usual.”
This can occur because of a few different reasons.
Most of the time, this symptom is caused from unit being
clogged with debris. A mat of weeds, many leaves, plastic
bags, etc. can clog up the unit and cause it to be starved of
water. If the unit does not have the proper amount of water,
the low or pattern will luctuate up and down and look spo-
radic. If you are seeing these symptoms, unplug the unit
and clean away the debris that is clogging up the screen.
Another possibility if these symptoms are noticed, is a
