ASSEMBLING
1. Unpack all components carefully. See Figures 1
(unassembled) and 2 (assembled) below.
2. Fit a square tube 75mm x 50mm x 2.5mm x
500mm long (NOT SUPPLIED) to the solar
panel hinges TPS50
3. Erect a wood or steel pole next to the trough
high enough so when the solar panel is fitted,
animals cannot interfere with the solar panel
and its parts (photo 1).
4. Adjust the angle of the solar panel to face true
north as closely as possible.
5. Place the pump in the trough as per
instructions, and fit riser tubes and outlet to
the correct height as shown in the instructions
(page 6).
6. Run the power cable to the solar panel. The
power cable is protected by a metal spiral
convoluted tube. This must be securely
attached to the pole to ensure minimal
interference by animals.
7. Connect the pump power cable to the ON/
OFF switch cable and then to the solar panel
power cable, taking care with the terminal
position. Lock the two power cables in place
using the nut on the solar panel power cable.
Ensure the pump remains fully submerged in
water while the pump is in operation.
8. The solar pump is now ready to operate.
