Winter Operating Tip:
In climates where temperatures are likely to fall below freezing, it is recommended that you insulate the air lines
from the compressor cabinet to a minimum of 3 feet into the water. Using closed cell polyurethane foam to
insulate your air lines will prevent ice buildup in the lines which can occur due to condensation. Ice buildup in
the line can block the flow of air to your diffuser and can cause damage to your compressor. If your body of
water fluctuates greatly, run the insulation further in the water to account for low water level. You want the air
line to be insulated through any ice thickness and into an area of water that will be below the ice level.
If only desiring to keep a small area open to prevent winterkill, it is recommended to move the diffusers closer to
shore to allow shoreline to be in direct contact with the ice-free opening.
Maintenance
Warning! Product surfaces become very hot during operation, allow product surfaces to cool before handling.
Warning! Disconnect electrical power supply cord before performing maintenance.
This compressor is oil-less and requires NO lubrication
Check intake filter after the first 500 hours of operation. Clean filter and determine how frequently filters should
be checked during future operation.
Kasco recommends checking the filter every month. Clean or replace as necessary. This one procedure will
help assure the product’s performance and service life. Failure to maintain clean air filter elements will lead to
clogging which will cause excessive heat and premature failure of the compressor.
• Remove filter cover
• Remove and replace filter element
• Replacement filter elements are readily available. Please contact your local Kasco distributor and ask
for the Replacement Air Filter Element Model 771014 (1/4HP & ½ HP) or 771018 (3/4HP)
• Reinstall filter element and cover.
