SOLAR AIR PUMP (SA3) KIT
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Item No.: 23SA203
1. OVERVIEW
1)
The system is designed for oxygenating the water to create a healthy environment in any
outdoor water body that keeps fish, such as outdoor aquarium, garden pond, and garden water
feature.
2)
The power supply of the air pump is provided by a battery which is charged by a solar panel, so
that the air pump is capable of working at night and on overcast days.
3)
In order to make the pump work by solar energy, the solar panel needs to be placed in the
sunlight with its solar cells facing the sun as much as possible.
4)
The latest DC brushless motor technology is used in the pump design, so that the air pump
offers the highest efficiency and longest service life.
2. COMPONENTS
1) Solar panel
2) Battery backup
3) Air pump
4) Air hoses
5) Air stones
3. ASSEMBLING
1)
Roll out the air hose and the cables on the air pump and battery backup.
2)
Fit each of the two hoses to the connector of each of the two air stones.
3)
Connect the other spare end of each hose to each of the two air outlets of the air pump
respectively.
4)
Place the air pump and battery
backup on a dry and safe
place near the pond. The place
to sit the air pump should be
higher than the water level to
prevent the water from flowing
backward into the pump
through the hose when the air
pump is not in operation.
5)
Lay the two air stones in the
pond, it is better to keep a proper distance between the two stones so that the air can be
distributed more evenly and pervasively.
6)
Put the three pieces of the ground spike together and mount it on the back side of the solar
module with the gland nut.
7)
Mount the solar module in a sunny place by the ground spike and face the solar panel towards
the sun.
8)
Insert the plug of the battery backup into the socket of the solar panel and tighten the nut
completely.
9)
Insert the plug of the air pump into the socket of the battery backup and tighten the nut
completely.
10)
Turn the “ON/OFF” switch on the back of the battery backup to “ON” position, then the
indicator LED shows GREEN and the solar pump starts to operate. The LED may show RED
when the battery operates for the first time, because the battery has lost energy slowly
