IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Please read the operating instructions and familiarise yourself with the equipment before placing it in service. Correct and safe use of the system requires strict compliance with the safety instructions. For safety reasons, persons less than 16 years of age or infirm persons who are not familiar with these instructions should not use this equipment.

• Any damage to the equipment or unmerited operation will bring dangers to the surrounding precincts. So if there is any damage of the equipment, it must not be used. The equipment should be placed out of reach of children.
• For your own safety, disconnect from the power supply before any maintenance of any equipment is attempted on the tank or water body. Always unplug the pump from the power supply when not in use. Never pull the cable to disconnect the plug from the power supply – grasp the plug and pull to disconnect. If required, have a qualified electrician install a weatherproof power supply point near to the pond or water feature (within the cable length of the appliance).
• Be sure the equipment is installed in a dry environment
• Do not operate the pump if the appliance or any components of the system, such as the power cable, have been damaged. Check appliance for defects regularly.
• Always use a properly grounded power supply that is connected to an RCD with a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30mA. As per AS/NZS 3350.2.41:1997
• To avoid an electric shock, do not attach the plug to the power supply socket with wet hands. The drip loop method should be used to prevent water from traveling down the cable and onto the plug or power supply. If the plug does get wet, do not unplug the cable. Disconnect the circuit breaker that supplies power to the power supply point. Then unplug and examine the plug and power supply point for presence of water. If the powerpoint has become wet, you should consult an electrician before using the power point again.
• Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to extreme hot or cold temperatures. Do not use in water above 35°C.
• Do not cut the cable as this will result in voiding your warranty.
• Care should be taken to arrange the power cable so that it cannot be accidentally tripped over or pulled.
• Do not attempt to repair the electrical appliance yourself. Return to an authorised service centre or place of purchase if a fault occurs, (regular maintenance is not considered repair and is required by user).

DESIGN HIGHLIGHTS

• Special artificial rubber feet to keep a steady air output and pressure

INSTALLATION

For your convenience, we have provided two different front filter cages. One has a built-in flow control, that can be used to adjust the water flow if the flow is too fast for a particular installation. This is used in clean water features, where a “filter-less” system is preferable.

• Connect the air hose to the air pump outlet, position the air hose in your pond with airstones and switch on.
• Place the air pump above water level on a flat surface, otherwise connect a non-return valve between air hose a few inches from the air pump to ensure water is not siphoned back into the air pump.

MAINTENANCE

Regularly clean your air hose and air stone (if in use) or change the sponge to ensure maximum output and extend the life of the air pump.

• CAP20/CAP50 – installation of the filter sponge is as shown
• CAP100 Simply unscrew the screw at the top of the air pump.
