WARNING: SAFETY AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The pump is supplied with 5m of 3 core electrical cable which is permanently connected and
sealed to the motor. The supply cable cannot be replaced. If the cable is damaged the pump
should be discarded.
1.
Pump
U
must be connected to an approved ground fault circuit interrupter
U
(GFCI)
receptacle.
2.
Do not connect to any voltage other than that stated on the pump.
3.
Warning:
U
Always
U
unplug or disconnect all appliances from the electrical supply
before putting hands in the water, while equipment is being installed, repaired,
maintained or handled.
4.
Do not use the supply cable to lift the pump as this may cause damage.
5.
Do not operate or leave the pump in freezing conditions.
6.
Do not allow the pump to run dry. The pump must be fully submerged.
INSTALLATION IN POND
Place your pump on top of a flat brick or stone approximately 2” – 4” from the bottom of
your pond to help prevent debris from interfering with the pump’s performance.
Make sure the cable is securely routed to the GFCI electrical supply and is protected
against abrasion and damage.
After electrical installation to test, completely submerge the pump under water. When your
pump is working properly, you will hear a low humming sound and water will be circulating out
of the top outlet. If you do not hear the humming sound or experience performance problems,
please read the troubleshooting tips and care instructions in this guide.

HINTS AND TROUBLESHOOTING
CAUTION:
U
ALWAYS
U
DISCONNECT THE PUMP FROM THE ELECTRICAL
SUPPLY BEFORE HANDLING
.
If the pump operates but there is no water flow:
•
Make sure the pump is fully submerged.
•
Check the tubing for kinks or obstructions. Ensure pump outlet is clear of objects.
•
Check water features like spouting statues or fountain nozzles are clean and clear.
•
Check water inlet for any obstructions.
If normal water flow has not returned:
•
Remove front cover and impeller cover to access rotor area.
•
Rotate the rotor to ensure it is not broken or jammed. Remove the rotor
to check it is free from any debris. Rinse the cover and re-assemble.
MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance must be performed on any warranted item based upon this Owner’s
Guide recommendations. Do not pump heated liquids, and always keep the cord away from
heat and high temperature. Connect the pump to an electrical supply with the proper voltage
and fitted with a Residual Current Device.
1. Always disconnect the pump from the electrical supply before handling it.
2. Pond water must be kept clean using proper filtration components.
3. Always operate the pump completely submerged. Check the water level daily to
ensure the pump will remain submerged. Add water if necessary.
4. Clean the pump periodically to prevent mineral deposits and contamination.
5. Disassemble the unit to clean any build up of debris inside the impeller and rotor.
6. Do not operate this pump below 0°C, otherwise
U
Freezing damage May Occur
U
. If
temperature is likely to fall below 0°C remove the pump from the pond, ensure all water is
removed from the pump and the unit is completely dry and stored in a frost-free place.
