Introduction

Congratulations! You have purchased one of our high-quality products. During production this device was checked for quality and subject to a final inspection. This ensures that your device is working properly. It is possible that, in individual cases, there may be residual water or lubricant on or in the device. This is not a defect or fault and is not a cause for concern. Please familiarise yourself with the product before using it for the first time. To do so, please read through the following operating and safety instructions carefully. Only trained persons may start up this product.
KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN!

Intended use

The solar pond aerator is a solar-powered device with an integrated solar panel to enrich the water in your pond with oxygen. Using direct sunlight, the device generates the energy which is required for operation. The power depends on the position of the sun and the position of the aerator. Air is sucked in and pumped into the water through the hose and oxygen stone. This is how the product oxygenates the water.
Keep these instructions in a safe place. Ensure you hand over all documentation when passing the product on to anyone else. Any use that differs to the intended use as stated above is prohibited and potentially dangerous. If there are individuals in the water, then the device must not be used. There is a risk of electric shock. The operator or user is responsible for accidents or injury to other people or their property. The manufacturer is not liable for any injury or damage resulting from improper use or incorrect operation. This device is not suitable for commercial use. Commercial use will void the guarantee.

Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the device.
Follow the further instructions in the “Maintenance and cleaning” chapter, as well as the “Storage” chapter.
CAUTION! HOW TO AVOID ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES:
Individuals who are not familiar with the operating instructions must not use the device. Local regulations may specify the minimum age for the operating personnel.

Keep the device in a dry location and out of the reach of children when it is not being used.

CAUTION! HOW TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE DEVICE AND ANY HARM TO PERSONS THAT MAY RESULT FROM SUCH DAMAGE:

Do not work with damaged, incomplete devices or those which have been modified without the approval of the manufacturer.
Check the device regularly to make sure it is functioning properly.
Protect the device from frost.
Only use original accessories and do not carry out any modifica-tions to the device.
Read the instructions in the operating instructions on the subject of “Maintenance and cleaning”. All additional measures must be carried out by a qualified electrician. Always contact our service point if you need any repairs.
Not suitable for drinking water.

Before using the device

The device must only be used in water and not in other liquids.
First unpack all the components (solar pond aerator 1 floating, hose 4 , oxygen stone 3 ).
Now connect the oxygen stone 3 to the hose 4 and plug the other end of this hose 4 connection 5 (see Fig. C).

PLEASE NOTE: Do not remove the polystyrene 6 from the underside of the aerator! This has been deliberately positioned here so that the device can float on the surface of the water.

Using the device

Place the device in your pond and make sure that the solar panel 2 is constantly in direct sunlight. The device can only perform to its full power if direct sunlight is hitting the panel.
The solar pond aerator should now oxygenate the water properly (see Fig. D).

Maintenance and cleaning

Maintain and clean the aerator regularly, in order to ensure full performance and a long service life.
PLEASE NOTE: Do not carry out work yourself which is not described in these instructions, leave it to a specialist. Only use genuine parts:

If, after a period of time, the solar pond aerator 1 no longer works properly, the solar panel 2 or oxygen stone 3 could be dirty or the hose 4 could be blocked. Regular maintenance and cleaning are therefore necessary, in order to guarantee that the device works properly.
You must therefore clean the device regularly every 2 weeks. Clean the solar panel 2 with a damp cloth and the hose 4 and oxygen stone 3 with clear water.
Any particles which have become lodged in the housing are best removed with a water jet.
When doing this, only use clear water and never use detergents.
Ensure that damaged parts have been repaired before using the device. Many accidents are caused by devices that have not been properly maintained.

PLEASE NOTE: All other work, particularly opening the device must only be carried out by a qualified electrician. Always contact our service point in the event of a defect.
