3. Appropriate Use
- The pumping system is designed for the outdoor use in garden ponds.
- Direct solar radiation is required for the correct function.
- The pumping system is characterized by its easy assembly. Tools are not requi-
red for the assembly.
- The pump must not be used for the raising of drinking water.
- The performance may be adjusted via a controller on the pump.
- In order to safely interrupt the pumping it is required to interrupt the cable connec-
tion between solar module and pump.
4. Assembly and Initiation
The pumping system consists of the following parts:
1 piece solar module, 1 piece submerged pump in the plastic housing with a 5 m
connecting cable, 4 pipes and 4 water nozzles.
1. Completely unroll the connecting cable on the pump.
2. Attach the telescopic ascending pipe onto the pump and then attach one of the
desired sprinklers onto the ascending pipe.
3. Put the pump in the pond on some stones. Avoid a location directly on the ground
of the pond because a lot of dirt is here sucked in by the pump which will then be
polluted very fast.
4. Now connect the plug of the pump with the socket of the solar module.
5. Position the solar module in a sunny, shadow-free place facing south.
Attention:
Risk of injury! A broken module may not be repaired and has to be dispo-
sed of environmentally sound.
Note:
For further assembly instructions, please see the instruction of the water pump.
5. Service and Maintenance
In order to preserve the performance of the pump, it is required to wash out the pump
and its parts with warm water depending on the pollution of the water.
For directions for the service and maintenance of the pump storage, please see the
instruction of the pump storage.
Occasionally wipe the solar module clean with a soft and slightly moistened cloth.
Note:
Before carrying out operations on the pump, interrupt the plug connection
between pump and solar module in order to avoid any unintentional starting during
the operations.
