3. Intended use
This submersible pump is designed for pumping water in garden ponds, fountains,
water dishes, etc. It can pump water through a hose connection or can be operated
through attached lifting tubes with water sprinklers.
The delivery rate of the pump can be adjusted using the regulator on the front side of
the pump. The water pump has no On/Off switch. As soon as the pump is connected
to its power supply, it starts pumping water.
4. Installation and commissioning
1. Roll out the connecting cable of the
pump completely.
2. Place the pump in water.
3. Connect the lifting tubes till they project
out of the water surface. For this, first
attach the reducer to the pump.
4. You can now choose from 3 different
water nozzles or a single jet nozzle.
The multiple jet nozzle attachments are
always snapped onto the nozzle cup.
5. Alternatively, the pump can also be used
for pumping water through a hose. For
this, you just have to attach a hose to the
pump’s pipe.
6. Now supply power to the water pump
through a solar module. Put the connec-
tor from solar module and pump together.
Note:
The plug has reverse-polarity protection, no force should be used while inser-
ting. The glass of the solar module is fragile.
Caution! Risk of injury! A broken module cannot be repaired again and must be
disposed off in an environmental-friendly way.
7. If the pumping capacity is too high, you can reduce the amount of water. Simply
turn the regulator on the front side of the pump in clockwise direction. Please do
not use force while adjusting. The adjustment range is 45°.
5. Care and maintenance
For optimum performance of the pump, it must be washed occasionally with warm
water depending on the water contamination. To wash the pump, open the housing
as follows:
Note:
Please do not use force while dismantling or assembling the pump. The parts
are very fragile and can break easily.
1. Disconnect the pump’s plug.
2. Pull the front cover of the pump forward like a slide gently (Figure 1).
3. Turn the front cover of the pump by about 45° clockwise (Figure 1) and carefully
pull the cover forward (Figure 2). Watch out for the plastic shaft and the seal while
doing this.
4. Carefully drag the impeller out of the pump (if necessary, use pliers). (Figure 3).
5. Now clean all the parts carefully with warm water.
6. Then plug the shaft with the impeller carefully into the hole of the pump. Ensure
that the shaft is fitted firmly.
7. Now place the cover carefully over the pump. Ensure that the seal is fitted proper-
ly.
8. Turn the front cover again by 45 degrees counter-clockwise into the starting posi-
tion.
9. Slide the lower part of the pump completely into the pump housing.
The pump is ready to use again.
