Note: * The battery will be always charged in the sunlight
no matter whether the “On/Off” switch has been turned to
“On” or “Off”! The system will automatically cut off the
charging current when the battery is fully charged.
* Adjusting the potentiometer of battery backup to
reach a higher output voltage will get a better pump
performance, however it will shorten the total pump
operating time as the larger the working voltage of the
pump, the more battery power the pump will consume.
4. CAUTIONS
1)
Any altering of the product itself or changing of the components voids warranty.
2)
Do not connect the pump and the battery back-up to any AC power supply directly; it’s
designed ONLY for DC power.
3)
All the connectors are protected against reverse polarity as shown in Figure 5. Don’t
insert the plug with reverse polarity by using force.
4)
Operate the pump in water only (never above 40°C), keep it away from flammable
liquids.
5)
Do not operate it in any area classified as hazardous.
6)
Do not leave the battery back-up in direct sunlight; do not submerge it into water; do not
expose it to extremes of heat or cold which can affect its service life. If possible place the battery in the shadow of the solar panel or
your house or even a tree etc.
7)
Do not strike the solar panel. Clean it only with a damp soft cloth.
5. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
If the pump starts losing power or stops working after operating for a certain time, please clean the pump following the steps below (See the
above figure)
1)
Disconnect the pump from the battery.
2)
Press on the bottom of the filter housing and slide the filter housing off the pump.
3)
Turn the impeller cover together with flow valve, clockwise, and then carefully pull the impeller cover together with flow valve apart
from the pump.
4)
Remove the impeller from the pump, taking care not to break the ceramic shaft.
5)
Wash every part to remove any build-up of sludge.
6)
In the case of a build-up of lime-scale (calcium deposits) use a mild descaling solution, following the instructions provided for a
“shower head”- we recommend RUBBEDIN DESCALE MAGIC – available form most Hardware’s and Supermarkets.
7)
Assemble the pump in reverse sequence.
8)
Connect the pump to the battery.
*Be careful not to drop the ceramic shaft as it is fragile and breaks easily.
6.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
*Pump does not operate even though the solar panel is in full sunlight,
please check the possible failures listed below:
1)
The timer switch is at “ON” position.
2)
On cloudy or rainy days, the battery cannot get sufficient power supply
during the daytime. The status LED stays in red, which means the
battery is in low voltage condition and needs to be charged on a sunny
day.
3)
No connection—check the electrical connection between the solar
panel and the battery station.
4)
Make sure the pump is totally submerged in water.
5)
Impeller is blocked—clean the pump as described in “
CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE”.
6)
The storage battery inside the box may lose efficiency after 18 months
and therefore needs to be replaced; this is not covered by the warranty
as they are a “wearing part”. Replace the battery following the steps
shown by the photos on the right. Replacement batteries are sold at
most electronic stores.
*
Pump does operate but there is no water running through the pipes:
clean the pipe and the filter to make sure the pipe is not blocked.
