Lack of water:
If there is insufficient water in the water container, the LED light flashes red and watering is switched off. The
water container must be refilled with water.
Note:
If the battery and the water level are low at the same time, the LED light flashes red and green.
Watering cycle function:
This watering system is equipped with a cycle function which works twice a day, at dawn and at nightfall. You only
need to preset the pump running time (see table below) the first time and the watering pump will work every day.

Maintenance and care
Solar collector:
The solar collector must be cleaned regularly with a
soft cloth. Regular cleaning is recommended to guarantee that the sunlight is absorbed and converted into energy
in an optimum manner.
Pump:
If the pump's flow rate reduces after a certain time or the pump no longer works at all, check whether sediment,
sludge or other dirt is in the filter.
8.1. Maintenance intervals
The time intervals for the required maintenance task (complete cleaning) to a great extent are based on
Water contamination. Select the time intervals for cleaning accordingly.
If, when performing maintenance tasks, you determine that there are defects or wear, replace the parts in
question
(see ordering spare parts).
8.2. Maintenance in winter
Protect your device from freezing
!
Please remove the device in autumn/winter and empty it completely. We recommend charging the batteries fully
before shutting down the device for a longer period of time (e.g. over the winter). For this purpose, the device
should be charged for several hours in direct sunlight without switching on the device. This charging procedure
should be repeated at least every 3 months while the device is shut down.
Make sure that the device is switched off during the winter so the battery is not discharged.
During the winter, store the device in a heated room in order to slow down the battery's self-discharging process.
