Item #340029
5. CAUTION
1)
Do not alter the product itself or change any of the components.
2)
Do not connect the pump to any AC voltage power directly. Use the AC/DC adapter included with the
pump. Only 12-18V DC source is allowed, such as the output from the present solar rock.
3)
Operate the pump in freshwater or saltwater only (never above 122
°
). Keep it away from flammable
liquids.
4)
Do not strike the solar panel.
5)
Do not let the pump run dry.
6.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
1)
If after some time the pump starts losing power or stops working, please clean up sediment in the pump
shell or filter cribs. Note the pump can be opened by pressing down on the bottom of the filter housing
(See the above photo for demonstration).
2)
To clear the impeller, open the pump housing at the front by sliding up the front plastic cover.
3)
The solar panel should only be cleaned with soft tissue or propriety glass cleaning solution.
7. TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM: Pump does not operate even though the solar panel is in full sunlight.
•
No connection to the solar panel — check connection to the solar panel.
•
Impeller is blocked — to clean the pump, remove the front plate and the impeller, and use a small brush
and water to remove any debris.
•
Battery not sufficiently charged — Depress the button on the rock to OFF and set the rock in the sun
without working for 8 hours. After a full day of sunshine to charge the battery, turn the switch to ON.
•
Battery not sufficiently charged — Rechargeable AA batteries (included with product) will lose
efficiency after about a year and a half and therefore need to be changed. To change AA batteries, open
cover of the battery compartment on the bottom of the artificial rock.
PROBLEM: Pump does operate, but there is no water running through the tubes.
•
Clear the tube and the filter to make sure the tube is through completely.
