The Xtra 3000 Fi and 6000 Fi fi lter pumps are high-quality products which correspond to the latest state-of-the-art. The pumps are fi tted with a reliable, powerful yet
economic asynchronous motor and ceramic shaft. The pumps have been specially designed for use as fi lter pumps.
Safety regulations
• The power supply must correspond to the product specifi cations. In case of doubt, ask your local utility about the connection rules. Do not connect the pump or the power cable if
they do not conform to the stated rules!
• For reasons of European safety standards, the pump must always be connected to a shockproof socket. The power circuit must contain a residual current circuit breaker
(r.c.c.b./30mA). Your local electrical specialist can provide you with further information.
• The pump is not suitable for use in swimming pools, swimming ponds or other bodies of water in which people could be present. It may therefore not be deployed for such a
purpose.
• Do not use the cable to carry the pump or to pull the pump out of the pond.
• Never remove the plug by cutting it off the connecting cable and never shorten the connecting cable. If you do so, your guarantee claim will be invalidated!
• Make sure that the plug and socket are dry before use.
• Make sure that the power is switched off before starting any maintenance work on the pond or before cleaning the pump.
• This pump has been designed to pump water at a temperature of at least 4°C up to a maximum 35°C.
• Do not allow the pump to run dry. This can cause irreparable damage.
• This device is not suitable for use by people (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or who lack experience and/or knowledge, unless they are
supervised by a person responsible for their safety or have been instructed in how to use the device. Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the device.
• The power cable cannot be replaced. If the connecting line is damaged, the pump must be taken out of operation and disposed of in order to prevent dangers.
General warnings
Some packaging parts can pose a hazard (e.g. plastic bags), these must therefore be kept out of the reach of children and domestic pets.
Use
The pumps are suitable for use in ponds and in combination with fi lter systems.
Getting started
Please read the instructions for use carefully
Never let the pump run dry, i.e. operation without water running through it
Install the pump at least 30 cm to a maximum 100 cm below the surface of the water on a stable base which is free form mud, slime and other soiling
Screw the socket piece supplied onto the pump's pressure nozzle
Cleaning and maintenance
The pump requires neither lubrication nor any special maintenance work. Simply check from time to time that the inlet slits in the protective cap on the pump housing are free of
soiling. If these have become clogged, clean them out with clean water.
In case the pump has become more heavily soiled, the pump housing should be cleaned. To do so, you will fi rst need to take it apart:
1. Remove the hose connection with the hose socket piece and double sleeve.
2. Take the protective cap off the pump housing (Fig.1)
3. Undo the screws in the pump housing and lift this away from the motor section (Figs. 2+3). Then pull the rotor element out of the motor (see Figs. 4+5) You can now clean the
motor and rotor parts.
4. After cleaning, reassemble the pump in the reverse sequence.
How often such cleaning is necessary depends on the particular conditions of use and how soiled your pool is.
In Winter, make sure that the pump does not become frozen in. You should therefore take the pump out of the pond in good time, clean it and keep it in a place safe from frost, for
example in a bucket of water.
Cleaning/exchanging the rotor
Clean the rotor with a soft cloth. Never use a (chemical) cleaning agent.
Avoid contact with the ceramic axle so as not to damage this.
Please note: The 8 screws in the motor section may not be undone. If you remove these screws, the guarantee claim will be invalidated.
