The pump is ready to go.
Turn on by pressing the
clear switch.
The tank will fill until the float switch cuts the power to the pump, once the high water level
has been reached. After the initial filling It is recommended that the battery is recharged fully
before the animals begin to use the trough. This can be done via an independent battery
charger or the solar panel.
If you are using a solar panel, connect
to the positive and negative terminals
to the corresponding wires from the
solar panel. The pump can work with
an array of up to 300w
1:
Check battery.
Batteries that are not fully charged can drastically reduce the performance
of the pump. If you have a fully charged battery to hand, swap them first to see if this solves
the problem. Check the battery connection leads to the box are connected correctly.
2:
Solar panel.
The older type have a regulator on the back of the panel with red and green
lights to indicate if power is being transferred to the battery. If not, use a multi- meter to check
voltage at the end of the leads.

Float switch
. Try to ascertain if moving it by hand will activate the pump. Obviously one
person need to be at the tank and one at the pump location. Check the box is working in this
regard by making a connection across the terminals with a screwdriver. If you suspect the
box is the problem, put the lead directly onto the battery to see if the pump will work.
4:
Pump:
If the pump in not working directly onto the battery, disconnect the lead extension
at the waterproof connector. Check for water ingress. Try the pump on the battery without
the lead extension. Make sure the pump is clear of debris.
5:
Lead length:
The lead represents a load on the pump which reduces performance. If the
pump is installed in a static location and has excess lead coiled up, cut the lead to length to
improve performance.

The switch features a three colour
indicator showing the condition of
the battery. A green light shows that
the battery is in the best condition.
If you are using a solar
panel, a green light indicates that
your panel is efficiently replacing
the power consumed
by the pump.
