• Any damage to the equipment or unmerited operation
will bring dangers to the surrounding precincts. So if
there is any damage of the equipment, it must not to
be used. The equipment should be placed out of reach
of children.
• For your own safety, disconnect from the power supply
before any maintenance of any equipment is attempted
on the tank or water body. Always unplug the pump
from the power supply when not in use. Never pull the
cable to disconnect the plug from the power supply -
Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect. If required, have
a qualified electrician install a weatherproof power
supply point near to the pond or water-feature (within
the cable length of the appliance).
• Be sure the equipment is submerged completely in the
water. The depth should not be greater than 2m.
• Do not operate the pump if the appliance or any
components of the system, such as the power cable,
have been damaged. Check appliance for defects
regularly.
• Always use a properly grounded power supply that is
connected to an RCD with a rated residual operating
current not exceeding 30mA. As per AS/NZS
3350.2.41:1997
• To avoid an electric shock, do not attach the plug to
the power supply socket with wet hands. The drip loop
method should be used to prevent water from traveling
down the cable and onto the plug or power supply.
If the plug does get wet, do not unplug the cable.
Disconnect the circuit breaker that supplies power to
the power supply point. Then unplug and examine the
plug and power supply point for presence of water. If
the power point has become wet, you should consult an
electrician before using the power point again.
• Do not install or store the appliance where it will be
exposed to extreme hot or cold temperatures. Do not
use in water above 35°C.
• Do not cut the cable as this will result in voiding your
warranty.
• Care should be taken to arrange the power cable so
that it cannot be accidentally tripped over or pulled.
• Do not attempt to repair the electrical appliance
yourself. Return to an authorized service centre or place
of purchase if a fault occurs, (regular maintenance is not
considered repair and is required by user).
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Please read the operating instructions and familiarise yourself with the equipment before placing it
in service. Correct and safe use of the system requires strict compliance with the safety instructions.
For safety reasons, persons less than 16 years of age or infirm persons that are not familiar with these
instructions should not use this equipment.
PRODUCT SPECIFIC SAFEGUARDS
• Do not operate the pump without water at any time,
permanent damage may occur.
• Be sure the equipment is submerged completely in the
water. The depth should not be greater than 2m. If used
in line, the pump must have adequate flooded suction
at all times.
• The pump is designed to be used in a Garden pond/
waterfeature or Aquarium environment. It is not to be
used in any other manner or purpose.
• The pump should only be used in clean water. Do not
use the pump in, or with, any chemicals such as a
solvent or gasoline.
• All PondMAX Submersible pumps are cooled by water
flowing through the inside of the motor body. If the
pump flow becomes restricted it will overheat and could
cause permanent damage. Large tubing size is strongly
recommended to deliver adequate water flow to cool
the pump.
• The pump needs to be cleaned regularly to prevent the
pump becoming blocked, thus causing the pump to
overheat and burn out. This is not a warrantable event.
It is strongly recommended not to select a pump that
is too small for the Job required. The flow rate through
the pump needs to be enough so that a half of the rated
max flow is kept running at all times.
