Make sure that there are no air bubbles trapped in the hose. These would have a negative effect on
the power. To do this, lay the hose so that it ascends and avoid loops.
Position the pump 1 fully below the surface of the water, ideally at least 10 cm under the water
level. Align the pump 1 so that it is as level and horizontal as possible.
Do not place the pump 1 directly onto slimy or sandy surfaces. The ideal position is for it to be
raised, such as, for example, on a stone.
Never use the pump 1 without the filter grille 5. This prevents the ingress of coarse dirt which
would damage the pump 1.
By rotating the filter grille 5 you can regulate the flow rate. Turning clockwise: less flow; Turning
anti-clockwise: more flow. (see Fig. C)
In order to achieve the very best pumping results, the pump 1 must be positioned on a flat surface.
Only allow the pump 1 to operate when it is completely submersed in water.
If you use the pump 1 in an ornamental pond, position the pump 1 in an area which is as free of
sand as possible.
NOTE: In order to achieve the maximum water flow, you must keep the hoses as short as possible.
Also, as far as possible there should be no kinks and/or large height differences. Ideally, you should use
hoses with the largest possible diameter, in order to achieve the greatest possible water flow rate.
zMaintenance and cleaning
The pump 1 has been manufactured in a reliable, high-quality design, where the non-contact pump
wheel mechanism ensures a long period of operation. However the pump wheel unit
9
is susceptible
to contamination from the operating environment and must not be damaged.
CAUTION: In order to clean the pump 1 or carry out maintenance work, always disconnect it first
by unplugging the mains plug 2 from the voltage supply. There is a risk of electric shock or risk of injury
through moving parts.
Always keep the mains plug 2 dry, before you connect the pump 1 back to the mains power
socket. In case of doubt, please contact your electrical specialist.
In order to clean the pump 1, remove the front cover 4 and the pump wheel unit 9. To lift off the
front cover 4 use a narrow flat-blade screwdriver to help you, if necessary. The round cover of the
pump wheel unit 8 has a bayonet connector and can be undone by turning it anti-clockwise.
The pump wheel unit 9 will simply be pulled out forwards. Use a small, soft brush or a water jet to
remove any dirt which is stuck on.
CAUTION: The pump shaft cannot be removed. Re-assemble the pump 1 after cleaning by
following the instructions in reverse order.
Monthly maintenance will increase the service life of the pump 1.
zTroubleshooting
If the pump 1 does not work, check the following:
1. Check that there is sufficient water around the pump 1.
2. Check the residual current protection switch of your mains socket and use another socket to make
sure that the pump 1 is being properly supplied with power. NOTE: Always unplug the mains plug
from the socket 2 before you touch the pump 1.
3. If, when the pump is running, you can hear abnormal noises, check the pump wheel unit 9.
To do this, unscrew the nozzle connector 6 or 7 from the pump in order to obtain access to the
