INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing this Danner water pump. This submersible pump provides a continuous stream of water with an adjustable flow control for submersible applications. The pump can be converted for In-Line use using the enclosed parts. Danner pumps are carefully inspected and tested to insure both safety and operating performance. However, failure to follow the instructions and warnings in this manual may result in pump damage and or serious injury. Be sure to read and save this manual for future reference.
Warning
- Ensure that the electrical cord is looped below the electrical outlet to form a Drip Loop . This will prevent water from running down the cord into the electrical outlet.
- Risk of electric shock- This pump is supplied with grounding conductor and grounding-type attachment plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock, be certain that it is connected only to properly grounded grounding-type receptacle.
- Do not remove the grounding pin from the plug.
- Do not connect to any voltage other than that shown on the pump.
- Do not pump flammable liquids.
- The National Electric Code requires that a Ground Fault Circuit interrupter GFCI be used in the branch circuit supplying fountain pumps and other pond equipment. See your electrical supplies dealer for this device.
- The pump is to be supplied through a Residual Current Device
- RCD with a rated residual operating current not exceeding °˘mA.
- To reduce the risk of electrical shock, use only on portable self-contained fountains.
- Do not use with water above 95°F (35°C)
Caution This pump has been evaluated for use with water only.
Caution
- Always disconnect from electrical outlet before handling the pump.
- Don’t operate without water.
- Do not lift the pump by the power cord.
- Operate in clean water only.
- Operate pump completely submerged for optimum cooling.
- Not for use in swimming pools or swimming ponds.
This pump is only to be used in an outlet with a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) or residual current device (RCD) with a rated residual
operating current not exceeding 30 mA.
NONE: Ensure that the electrical cord loops below the electrical outlet
to form a “Drip Loop” This will prevent water from running down the cord into
the electrical outlet.
PERFORMANCE
A clogged or dirty intake screen will greatly reduce performance.
If the pump is used where debris has settled, raise it slightly to reduce the
amount of debris contacting the intake. If slower flow is desired, adjust the
flow control lever on the side of the pump or restrict the discharge flow.
Do not run the pump out of the water. Doing so may damage the pump. Always
submerge the pump in the water before plugging in the electrical outlet. It is
common for air to be in the pump and tube when first plugged in. Continue to
unplug the electrical cord and then plug it back in until water begins to
flow.
INSTRUCTIONS TO CONVERT PUMP FOR INLINE USE WITH ½/” NPT FITTINGS
*MODELS 290, 400, 530 and 725 / 800 ONLY
-
Unplug pump. Remove the front cover. Remove Impeller Cover with O-Ring by turning counter clockwise & pulling away from Motor Housing.
Note If Impeller end cap remains attached to Impeller cover when removing the Impeller Cover, it must be removed and reassembled onto the impeller shaft. Insert impeller into the opening in the motor. Be careful, the powerful magnet may pull the impeller very quickly and possibly injure your finger tips. -
Position Inline Impeller cover with ARROW pointing UP, align the center hole with the Impeller End Cap and press into motor housing until completely seated. Turn clockwise until it stops (about 10 degrees).
-
Ring clamp must be used to lock Inline Impeller Cover in place. Loosen Screw and Nut on Ring Clamp, align slots on Ring Clamp with Fins on Inline Impeller Cover.
Make certain that
- Ring Clamp is oriented properly as shown below.
- It is properly aligned *SEE NOTE 3 and completely seated over the Impeller cover – then tighten screw.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
NOTE: Always disconnect from electrical outlet before handling the pump.
To clean the pump, remove the front cover, Impeller Cover and the Impeller.
Use a soft brush, soft cloth or stream of water to remove any debris. If scale
has built up on Impeller or in the impeller chamber, soak in a solution of 1
part white vinegar to 9 parts water for a few hours to soften scale, then use
soft brush. For easier reassembly, moisten O-Ring on Impeller Cover with water
before reattaching Impeller Cover to Motor Housing.
Remember: Monthly maintenance will add to your pump’s life.
IF THE PUMP FAILS TO OPERATE, CHECK THE FOLLOWING
- Confirm that the circuit breaker is on and try another outlet to ensure the pump is getting electrical power.
- Check the pump discharge and tubing for kinks and obstructions.
- Ensure the inlet is not clogged with debris.
- Disconnect pump from power source. Remove the pump inlet to access the impeller area. Turn the rotor to ensure it is not broken or jammed. Clean or replace.
Remember: Monthly maintenance will add to your pump’s life.
