CAUTIONS
1)
Any altering of the product itself or changing of the components voids warranty.
2)
Do not connect the pump to any AC power supply directly; it’s designed ONLY for DC
power.
3)
All the connectors are protected against reverse polarity as shown in Figure 4. Don’t
insert the plug with reverse polarity by using force.
4)
Operate the pump in water only (never above 40°C), keep it away from flammable
liquids.
5)
Do not operate it in any area classified as hazardous.
6)
Do not strike the solar panel. Clean it only with a damp soft cloth.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
If the pump starts losing power or stops working after operating for a certain time, please clean the pump following the steps below (See the
above figure)
1)
Disconnect the pump from the solar panel.
2)
Press on the bottom of the filter housing and slide the filter housing off the pump.
3)
Turn the impeller cover together with flow valve, clockwise, and then carefully pull the impeller cover together with flow valve apart
from the pump.
4)
Remove the impeller from the pump, taking care not to break the ceramic shaft.
5)
Wash every part to remove any build-up of sludge.
6)
In the case of a build-up of lime-scale (calcium deposits) use a mild descaling solution, following the instructions provided for a
“shower head”- we recommend RUBBEDIN DESCALE MAGIC – available form most Hardware’s and Supermarkets.
7)
Assemble the pump in reverse sequence.
8)
Connect the pump to the solar panel.
*Be careful not to drop the ceramic shaft as it is fragile and breaks easily.
6.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
*Pump does not operate even though the solar panel is in full sunlight, please check the possible failures listed below:
1)
On cloudy or rainy days, the solar panel cannot get sufficient power supply during the daytime.
2)
No connection—check the electrical connection between the solar panel and the pump.
3)
Make sure the pump is totally submerged in water.
4)
Impeller is blocked—clean the pump as described in “
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
”.
*
Pump does operate but there is no water running through the pipes: clean the pipe and the filter to make sure the pipe is not
blocked.
