Safety Measures

Before use, check whether the mains connection and plug are intact. The mains voltage and current type must match the data on the type plate. The pump has to be connected to a regular safety plug socket through a residual current device (RCD, 30mA). The connection box should be located in an area away from water. It should be at least 2m away from the edge of the pond (see Fig.1).

• Keep the plug dry!
• Pull out the mains plug before commencing any work on the pump, fountain, or pond. DO not run the pump when people are in the water!Disconnect the pump first!
• Important: If the mains connection or the motor housing are damaged, the pump cannot be used anymore. It cannot be repaired by any unlicensed operators.
• Never pick up or transport the pump by holding the cable!

Start-Up

Important: Do not let the pump run dry. This could damage the appliance.

• Immerse the pump completely in your pond. This causes the pump body to fill with water.
• A water level of approx. 30cm is required for submersible use in order to prevent the pump from taking in air.
• The water temperature shouldn’t exceed 40°C.
• The pump is switched on by plugging it into the socket.
• To prevent the pump becoming unnecessarily dirty, place it above the mud in your pond, in a stable, horizontal position (like on a brick)! -A range of accessories may be fitted onto the pump’s threaded connections.
• The filter caps deliver sufficient suction protection in clear water.
• In order to prevent blocking the fountain nozzles, it may be necessary to use the filter sponge and filter basket.

Non-Submersible Use

The pump can be used for non-submersible applications.

• Position the pump below the water level at the pond’s side so that the water can be fed to the pump (not self-priming).
• Remove the filter cover.
• Connect the suction hose and pressure hose to the pump.

The connection should be waterproof. Fill the suction hose and pump with water before switching-on.

Overheating
The pump’s thermal overload trip prevents it from overheating. If the pump overheats, it must be allowed to cool down. When cool, the pump will automatically start working again. Check the following operating conditions:

• Is the water supply sufficient?

• Is the filter clogged?

• Is there dirt in the pump housing?
  (If so, follow the cleaning instructions below)

• Are the hoses or jets clogged?

• Has the pump cooled down sufficiently?
  As soon as the problem is solved, you can start the pump again.

Disassembly / Assembly

1. Follow all safety measures. Disconnect the pump!
2. Loosen the 4 screws ①).
3. Remove the pump housing ⑤ from the motor housing ②.
4. Remove the rotor assembly ③ from the motor housing (see Fig. 5)
5. Clean the shaft hole with a long pin (see Fig. 6)
6. Clean all parts using clear water and a soft sponge.
7.  Mounting:
   • Push the rotor assembly into the motor housing.
   • Make sure the rotor assembly is free and turns easily.
   • Check the position of the Sealing ring ④ in the pump housing.
   • Plug the pump housing in the motor housing and tighten the screws uniformly.
   • Plug the filter basket ⑥ ⑦ into the pump housing.

Maintenance

In order to prolong your pump’s service life and to keep it in good operating condition, regular maintenance and cleaning are recom-mended. This can be done quickly and easily by anyone (see “Disassembly / Assembly”). When first using your pump, check performance everyday, and if necessary clean the filters. -Since servicing intervals (complete cleanup) will vary depending on pond pollution, repeat periodic service on your pump in accordance with the requirements given. Should you determine that they are damaged or parts are worn out, replace them. Important: When used in calcareous water, the rotor assembly and the stainless steel split-tube in the motor housing should be cleaned at more frequent regular intervals. To reduce the risk of electric shock, use only on portable sef-contained fountains no larger than 5 feet in any dimension. Use in freshwater or seawater with a concentration of less than 3%.
