TOOLS & SUPPLIES NEEDED
• 7/16” Wrench (1)
• 7/16” Socket & Ratchet (1)
• Felt-Tip Marker (1)
STEP ONE
Remove all contents from package and place on a
clean, flat surface. Inspect the shipment for any damages. If damages are found, immediately notify your
carrier and your Kasco Marine, Inc. representative.
Next, cross reference the parts included in the shipment with the Parts Included sheet in this manual on
page 14. Make sure you have all the parts needed. If
any shortages are found, contact your Kasco representative immediately.
STEP TWO
Position the Float upside down (lengthwise channels
facing up) and place the Base Strap so the three holes
in the Base Strap align with the three threaded holes
that comprise the lengthwise midline of the Float.
• Anchors or Stakes for Installation (2)
• 12” pieces of 1” galvanized pipe for weighting
ropes (optional) (2)
STEP THREE
Position the Adjustment Bracket over the two holes at
the back end of the Float and Base Strap. Loosely
secure the Adjustment Bracket to the Float using two
1/4” x 1/2” Stainless Steel Bolts and two Stainless
Steel Lock Washers. (See photo above for orientation.)
STEP FOUR
Place one of the three Angle Brackets perpendicular
to the Base Strap at the front end of the Base Strap.
One of the two center holes of the Angle Bracket
should be positioned over the hole in the Base Strap
and the threaded hole in the Float. Secure the Angle
Bracket to the Float using three 1/4” x 1/2” Stainless
Steel Bolts and three Stainless Steel Lock Washers.
(See photos on the next page for specific instructions
based on the size circulator purchased.) Tighten all
hardware at this time with the 7/16” socket and
wrench.
Models F2400, F3400
and 4400 - Angle
posterior
to bolts.
Model 8400 - Angle
anterior to bolts.
STEP FIVE
With a felt-tip marker, draw three to four marks
around the circumference of the motor housing at the
appropriate measurement from the back (or bottom)
of the motor housing
given below:
Model F2400: 3/4”
Model F3400: 3-3/8”
Model 4400: 3-3/8”
Model 8400: 3-1/4”
STEP SIX
Place the two U-Brackets directly across from each
other (180O) over the top ring of the motor cage. The
cord clamp on the cage should be 90O from each of
the U-Brackets. (See pictures on next page)
STEP SEVEN
Insert the Spacer Bracket under the U-Bracket and
inside the cage. Secure this assembly using one 1/4”
x 1” Bolt and a 1/4” Lock Nut, and one 1/4” x 1-1/4”
Bolt and a 1/4” Hex Nut. The longer bolt should be
on the side of the U-Bracket that is closer to the cord
clamp. Tighten the hardware using the 7/16” wrench
and socket & wrench until the U-Bracket clamps
firmly around the cage (U-Bracket should pull together slightly). Repeat with the second U-Bracket.
STEP EIGHT
Attach an Angle Bracket to each of the longer (11/4”) bolts on the U-Brackets (See photo for orientation) with a 1/4” Lock Nut.
Models F2400, F3400
and 4400
Model 8400
STEP NINE
Wrap the Draw Band around the motor housing and
position so that the back of the Draw Band touches
the marks drawn in Step Five. There is no front or
back to the Draw Band itself - it is reversible. Orient
the arm of the Draw Band so it aligns with the cord
clamp on the cage of the motor housing and is parallel to the Angle Brackets attached in Step Eight. Secure using a 1/4” x 1” Stainless Steel Bolt and a 1/4”
Lock Nut. (See photo on next page.)
