operate the unit if the cable or housing is defective! In case the mains connection cable of the unit is
damaged, have it replaced by the manufacturer in order to prevent hazards.
Electrical installations in garden ponds meet the international and national regulations for installers.
Never open the unit housing or its attendant components, unless this is explicitly mentioned in the
operating instructions. Never carry out technical changes to the unit. Only use original spare parts and
accessories. Only allow authorised customer service outlets to perform repairs. Never run the unit
without water! Never use the pump for fluids other than water! For your own safety, consult a qualified
electrician when you have questions or encounter problems!
Electrical connection
Only entrust an authorised expert to carry out the electrical connection in accordance with the German
EVU and VDE. VDE 0100 Part 702 is valid for all installations. Refer to the type plate for all capacity
parameters. Only perform any work on the unit when isolated!
Installation
Connection to the water filter
Plug the union nut over the stepped hose connection, fasten hose (to avoid flow loss due to friction in
the hose, please use the largest hose diameter possible – 1" – 1 ½") on the stepped hose connection
and secure, if necessary, with a hose clip. Insert stepped hose connection in the pump outlet, then
connect the other end of the hose to the water filter.
Connection to the skimmer
Plug the union nut over the stepped hose connection, fasten the hose to the satellite filter on stepped
hose connection, insert the latter into inlet regulator of the strainer casing, then fasten union nut.
Connection of the skimmer connection
Fasten the hose of the inlet regulator on the stepped hose connection and insert the latter in the
bottom tray of the satellite filter. Hook hinges of the top and bottom strainer casing into each other and
close the strainer casings. If necessary, the satellite filter can be loaded with an additional weight.
Start-up
Attention! Never operate the unit without water flowing through!
The unit switches on automatically when connected to power.
Control the inflow skimmer connection
The inlet regulator has five position (0 to 4): In the "0" position, the pump only delivers water through its
own strainer casings. The more you open the inlet regulator, so much the better is working the
skimmer connection.
Disconnect the power supply to switch off the unit.
Cleaning
Attention! Always disconnect the power supply fully prior to starting cleaning maintenance
work!
Remove the hoses from the unit. Press in the engagement points on both sides of the outlet opening to
the water filter and open the strainer casing, remove the pump from the strainer casing, remove the
inlet regulator from its guide, rotate the pump housing, then clean the impeller vanes using a brush.
Attention! Never open the motor housing! If the rotor needs replacing of the motor becomes
defective, please contact the manufactures.
Clean strainer casings, hose connections and inlet regulator using clear water and a brush. After
cleaning, fit the unit in the reverse order.
