Page: 12 / 20

!
Green Line pond pumps are provided with 10 m of grounded electrical safety cable
with flex and plug. Connection to a grounded receptacle with earth leakage
circuit breaker of 30 mA is necessary.
!
Only use good quality grounded extension leads, flexes, receptacles and the like.
!
The flex is watertight. It has an anchored pump housing and may not be replaced
when damaged. If any damage should occur to the flex, the pump may no longer be
used.
!
When carrying out activities in or near the water, all devices that are immersed or
in touch with the pond should be de-energized.
!
Do not displace the pump by lifting it with the help of the flex. Fix an additional
wire to the pump housing to lift the pump out of the water.
!
Green Line pond pumps are exclusively made to displace water. This means that
transport of any different liquids explicitly excluded.
!
The use of these pumps in swimming pools is not allowed.
!
The pump housing should be installed at least 10 cm and at most 2 m below
water level.
l Never use the pump in the pond without preliminary filter scale.
l Please take care that the accessories you are using do not hamper the water flow.
!
The pump should be used exclusively in the water (wet installation).
l Prevent the pump from running dry. The motor can be damaged.
!
The temperature of the water to be displaced may be maximum 35 °C.
!
When the pump is completely installed, it can be connected to the power supply.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Mount the discharge hose socket, optional with L-connector, including sealing rings
to the outflow of the pump. Connect the pond hose to it for a filter, waterfall or stream.
Use the largest possible hose diameter in order to exploit the water capacity
completely. Saw off the unused diameter(s) of the hose socket. Take care of proper
sealing and use hose clamps, if necessary. Place the pump in the pond, avoiding places
with sludge. Use an elevation of stones or a stand and place the pump as level as
possible. When the pump has been installed in the pond, you can put in the plug to
activate the motor.
Attention
Inspect the flex and the electric connections prior to use for any damage. Take care
that the plug and the receptacle are dry. For safety reasons any repairs to the flex and
the pump motor may only be carried out by Velda (see guarantee).
MAINTENANCE
The impeller of the Green Line pond pump can handle dirt particles of up to 6 mm,
keeping cleaning and maintenance to a minimum. Regularly check the preliminary
filter scale on accumulated dirt. Clean the preliminary filter scale and the impeller
when the yield and the head of water will decrease considerably. When doing this,
use a soft brush and ample clean water. See
Impeller for (de-)mounting of the impeller.
The built-in security device will switch the motor off in case of overheating.
Having cooled down for some time, the motor will start again. Please remember
