Installation (A)
Cut the stepped hose adapters such that the connection opening coincides with the hose diameter. This helps to avoid
pressure loss.
At the filter pump, push or turn the hose onto the stepped hose connection, secure with hose clips and screw onto the
filter pump connection thread.
Installation
Place the unit in the pond horizontally on firm, sludge-free ground and ensure that it is completely covered with water
at a maximum of 2 m / 4 m below the surface of the water.
Start-up

Attention! The pump must never run dry.
Possible consequence:
The pump will be destroyed.
Protective measure: Check the water level at regular intervals. Always place the unit below water level.
Attention! The installed temperature monitor automatically turns the pump off, if it is overloaded. The pump
automatically switches on again once the motor has cooled down. Risk of accident!

established.
Switching off: Disconnect the power plug.
