Installation
 C
•
Place the pump horizontally on a stable surface.
•
Ensure secure and stable positioning of the pump.
•
For muddy or soiled water, we recommend installing the pump or intake-side components
(skimmer, satellite filter, base outlet, etc.) above ground level. This decreases intake of parti-
cles and increases the service life of the impeller unit.
•
Only operate the pump when it is covered in at least 10 cm of water. Otherwise it may draw in
air.

The pull rope allows you to simply pull the pump from the water.
−
Fasten the pull rope on the bottom filter casing through the round openings and make a
knot.
Install the unit at a dry place

For information, please refer to the operating manual.

Environmental Function Control (EFC)
When started up and then every 20 ... 40 minutes the pump automatically performs a pre-pro-
grammed self-test (
Environmental Function Control (EFC)
). The pump detects if it is running dry
/ clogged or submerged. The pump shuts down automatically after 60 to 120 seconds if it runs
dry/is blocked. In the event of a malfunction, disconnect the power supply and “flood the pump”
or remove the obstacle. Afterwards, the unit can be restarted.
