b.
When the battery is low, the pump/LED lights
will shut down automatically to protect the
battery. The indicator light will turn off until
the battery is recharged.
5.
PERFORMANCE OF THE PUMP
The performance of the pump depends on the
orientation of the solar panel towards the sun
and the sunlight strength. In order to achieve
max performance, please make sure the panel is
facing in the direction of the sun. A solar panel
positioned in the shade or in poor weather will
not maximize the charge. This models pump
performance will depend on the battery power
level. The pump will not work if battery power is
too low
.

PUMP MAINTENANCE
If you find the pump starts losing power or stops
working, please clean the pump filter and
impeller with clean water.

BATTERY MAINTENANCE
If properly maintained this solar pump has been
designed to run for many years. The Lead-acid
battery does have a limited life span and might
need to be replaced after 18-24 months of use. If
the battery appears less efficient, please try to
boost charge it. To do this, leave the system off
for 2 to 3 sunny days to allow the battery to fully
charge. It is recommended to do this occasionally
to maximize battery life time.
To replace old batteries, unscrew the battery box
cover and replace the batteries.
8.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
•
Check to see if the solar panel, pump and
led light are connected properly
•
Check to see if the solar panel is correctly
positioned facing the sun. Please ensure
the solar panel is not in the shade or
obstructed by trees, shrubs or a building
(see step 2).
•
Check if battery indicator light is on. If
not, this indicates that the battery power
is low. Switch off the pump and leave the
solar panel charging under direct sunlight
for 1 or 2 days.
•
Check water level and make sure the
pump is fully submerged in water
•
Check to see if the pump filter/impeller is
blocked by debris
•
Check to see if the fountain tubing is
blocked by kinks and obstructions
•
Check the pump. It may be “air locked”.
Turn the pump on/off switch several
times to clear any air that may have been
trapped.

WINTER PROTECTION
The solar pump is designed mainly for use during
summer hours, but it will also work in spring and
fall as long as the sunlight conditions are good
enough in your region. Indoor storage is
recommended during winter months. Normal
operating temperature is between 50 and 113 °F.
The battery can be recharged at temperatures
between 32 and 113 °F
BATTERY DISPOSAL:
Never dispose of batteries in
the garbage. Disposal of batteries in the garbage
is unlawful under state and federal
