volt circuit as indicated on the sticker! For Canada, USA: the nominal volt circuit is 110-120 volt.
Australia is 240 volt. 220 volt for other countries.
3. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
When the pump is connected to a proper receptacle, the pump will operate.
The filter must be periodically cleaned or replaced. The air pump has no sliding parts and
therefore no need for lubrication. Also the exhausted the air pump is always clean. This air pump
has no user serviceable parts.
ASSEMBLY AND OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. Inspect unit for any damage due to shipment.
2. Ensure that no parts are missing.
3. The AIR PUMP is designed to be positioned horizontally. Ensure that the location is dry and
free of excessive dust or debris. Dust protection around the entire unit may be constructed of
furnace filters. Please ensure the air circulation is maintained all the time.
4. The air pump should be placed above water level to ensure no siphoning can occur if power
failed. A proper installed check valve will prevent backflow and allow placement of the pump
below water surface level.
5. For store requirement. The air pump should be attached to a permanent pie assembly with
minimum diameter of pump outlet (18mm) Rigid plastic pipe is preferable over flexible hosing
for valve attachment. Air valve should be tapped into this line to supply individual aerations
with standard aeration airline. Teflon tape on valve threads will reduce air leakage from the
pipe.
6. Outside diameter of the output stem is 18mm, hose can be directly attached for straight line
installation, or provided elbow can be used if a corner is required.
7. See figures outlining typical set-ups for proper installation of rigid pipe assembly. Do not
block air pump’s output. Excessive backpressure will prematurely damage diaphragm.
8. If the air pump produces more air than required, bleed excess into atmosphere with a valve
to reduce damaging backpressure.
NOTE:
FULL LOOP PROVIDES EVEN AIR PRESSURE TO ALL AREAS OF INSTALLATION.
