1. Introduction
Dear Costumer, thank you for purchasing the solar pump kit.
With this solar pump kit you purchased a product manufactured accor-
ding to the current state of technology.
This product fulfils all requirements of the valid European and
national regulations. The conformity was proved. The relevant
declarations and documentation are deposited with the manufacturer.
To maintain this state and guarantee a safe operation, you as the user will have to follow
this operating manual!
2. Safety Instructions
- In case of damages caused by not following

- In these cases any guarantee rights will expire.
Due to safety and admission reasons (CE) it is not allowed to arbitrarily reconstruct and/or
change the solar pump kit.
Therefore, please keep to the operating manual.
The accident prevention rules of the association of the industrial trade cooperative association
for electric plants and working material are to be considered in industrial environments.
3. Proper use according to manufacturer
specifications
- The pump system is conceived for outdoor use in garden ponds. The pump pumps
water depending on the sunlight exposure falling on the solar module.
- Direct sunlight is required for the pump to function.
- The pump system is extremely easy to install. No tool is required to install it. The
system requires full sunlight exposure on the solar module for the pump to start.
- The pump should not be used to pump drinking water.
- The device does not have any On and Off switch. The pump can start pumping water
as soon as it is connected to the solar module (appropriate sunlight is a preconditi-
on).
- The output can be altered by attaching a regulator to the pump.
- The size of the rising pipe can be reduced to avoid a possible disturbing gurgling.
- To stop the pump safely, you must either disconnect the cable connection between
the solar module and the pump.
4. Installation and start-up
The pump system consists of the following components:
1 piece solar module with earth spike, 1 piece submersible pump in plastic housing with
5 m connecting cable, 4 rising pipes and 4 water nozzles.
1. Unwind the connecting cable of the pump fully.
2. Insert the rising pipes in the pump and then set one of the desired sprinklers on the
rising pipe.
3. Place the pump in the pool on a few stones. Avoid a location that is directly on the
pond floor, as far too much dirt is sucked in through the pump here and it gets
polluted very fast.
4. Now insert the plug of the pump into the socket of the solar module and screw the
cap tightly.
Place the solar module in a sunny, shade-free place facing the south.
5. Should the pump performance be too strong/heavy, you can reduce the amount of
water being sent to the pump. Simply turn the regulator located on the front side of
the pump clockwise (Illustration 1 and 2). Please do not use force when setting the
amount of water being sent to the pump. The adjustment range consists of 45°.
Note:
Do not use force while inserting the plug into the socket. The front side of the
solar module can break.
Caution: Risk of injury!
A broken module cannot be repaired and must be disposed of
in an environment-friendly manner
5. Care and maintenance
To maintain efficiency, the pump and its components must be washed with warm water,
depending on the level of water pollution.
Wipe the solar module clean with a soft, light, slightly wet cloth occasionally.
Note:
Before starting work on the pump, disconnect the plug of the pump from the
socket of the solar module.
Cleaning pump:
To ensure the performance of the pump, the pump must be washed out with warm
water from time to time, depending on the rate of water contamination. For this, open
the filter encasement:
Note:
Please do not use unnecessary force to assemble or disassemble the pump. The
parts are very delicate and can easily be broken.
1. Pull up the pump’s connector.
2. Carefully pull the front lid of the pump off, pulling like a sled forwards (Illustration 1).
3. Turn the front lid of the pump app. 45° counterclockwise (Illustrations 2 and 3) and
carefully pull the lid forwards (Illustration 4). Please take care in observing the plastic
starter switch.
4. Pull the impeller wheel carefully from the pump with the starter switch
(Illustration 5).
5. Now clean all of the parts carefully with warm water.
6. Then place the starter with the impeller wheel carefully into the hole of the front lid
(Illustration 6).
7. Now carefully slide the lid back axle into the pump. Make sure the lid is on correctly
and that the opening is completely sealed by it.
8. Now turn the front lid again back into the initial position.
9. Now push the lower part of the pump completely together onto the pump encase-
ment.
The pump is once again ready for operation.
