The pump is electrically operated
and is designed to pump solid
particles up to 4mm in diameter
with minimal pre-strainer
maintenance. These types of
pumps are particularly suitable for
pumping water to external filters
or for use in high flow waterfalls
or water course applications
where low maintenance is
important. The pump does not
use oil or grease for lubrication
and can be used safely in ponds
containing fish or plants. The
motor consists of a sealed stator
and water-cooled rotor. All
electrical components are isolated
from the water.
WARNING: SAFETY AND
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS.
1. The pump is supplied with 10m
of 3 core electric cable which is
permanently connected and
sealed to the motor.
The supply cable cannot be
replaced. If the cable is
damaged, the pump should be
discarded.
This product is designed to be
permanently wired to the
mains supply in a dry
weatherproof enclosure
through a Double-Pole
Switched Fused Spur -
(Disconnector) to BS 3676 - with
a minimum contact gap of 3mm
in each pole. Fitted with a 3 or
5 Amp fuse.
The installation must conform to
the National and Local wiring
regulations which could include
the use of plastic or metal
conduit to protect the cable.
2. A 10mA or 30mA Residual
Current Device (RCD) Must be
fitted to the mains supply.
3.
WARNING:
This appliance must
be earthed and it is essential
that the connections are made
using the following code;
Brown - Live
Blue - Neutral
Green/Yellow - Earth
The BROWN lead should be
connected to the LIVE terminal
which may be marked with an
‘L’ or coloured brown or red.
The BLUE lead should be
connected to the NEUTRAL
terminal which may be marked
with an ‘N’ or coloured blue or
black.
The GREEN/YELLOW lead
should be connected to the
EARTH terminal which may be
marked with an ‘E’
(
)
or
coloured green or green/yellow.
4. If an extension cable is
required, this should be
connected to the end of the
pump cable using a
weatherproof cable connector.
The joint must be positioned in
a suitable dry housing. The
extension cable should be of 3
core 0.75mm
2
Polychloroprene
rubber insulated cable (ref: HO5
RN-F) and permanently wired to
the mains supply with a 3 or 5
Amp fuse.
5. The pump cable (and extension
cable) should be positioned and
adequately protected against
damage especially where
contact with gardening
equipment, (lawn mowers,
forks etc..) children and
domestic animals may occur.
6. Consult a qualified electrician
or local authority if in any
doubt about wiring to the
mains supply.
IMPORTANT
1.
WARNING
: Always unplug or
disconnect all appliances in the
pond from the electricity supply
before putting your hands in
the water whilst equipment is
being installed, repaired,
maintained or handled.
2. Do not use the supply cable to
lift the pump, as this may cause
damage. We recommend fitting
a lifting cord to the handle on
the top of the strainer cage
when the pump is installed in
deep water.
3. Do not operate or leave the
pump in freezing conditions.
4. Do not allow the pump to run
dry.
5. Do not operate this pump
without the strainer cage
attached. Using the pump
without a filter may invalidate
your warranty.
PUMP ASSEMBLY.
1. Un-pack the ball joint assembly
(A in Fig 1) from the accessory
pack.
2. Rotate the three lid latching
knobs to the open position and
lift the Strainer Cage Top from
the Strainer Base (B in Fig 1).
3. Firmly pull the pump out of its
location (C in Fig 1).
4. Checking that the ball joint’s
inlet and outlet bosses are in
line, offer the female threaded
nut to the male threaded pump
chamber outlet (D in Fig 1) and
firmly screw them together.
5. Place the pump back into the
location, reposition the lid and
rotate the lid latching knobs
back to the locked position.
PUMP INSTALLATION.
ATTENTION: This product is not
suitable for water
temperatures above 35ºC
Position
1. For the best results, the pump
should be positioned in the
deepest part of the pond. This
will ensure the best circulation
of water in the pond and when
being used as a Filtration pump,
its solids handling capability
will be maximised.
Waterfall or Pond Filter Only.
ATTENTION
AUTOMATIC CUT-OUT.
To help
ensure your pump’s long life
and to prevent damage, it is
fitted with automatic thermal
overload protection. This
switches off the pump if it
overheats. If this occurs, switch
off the power at the mains
supply to the pump. Check for
the cause. Usually it will be
debris blocking the inlets of
the pump or obstructing the
impeller. Remove the
obstruction and wait 15
minutes for the pump to cool
down and automatically reset.
Then switch on the pump
again.
NOTE: YOU MUST SWITCH OFF
THE MAINS SUPPLY BEFORE THE
PUMP WILL RESET.
