Operating manual
waterpump “Fountain 300-LED”
1. Introduction
Dear Costumer, thank you for purchasing the solar pump kit.
With this solar pump kit you purchased a product manufactured according to the
current state of technology.
This product fulfils all requirements of the valid European and nati-
onal regulations. The conformity was proved. The relevant declara-
tions 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
this operating manual, the warranty rights will expire!
We exclude liability for any consequential damages!
- We exclude liability for property or personal damages
caused by inappropriate handling or not following the
safety instructions.
- 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. Intended use
This submersible pump is designed for pumping water in garden ponds, fountains,
water dishes, etc. It can pump water through a hose connection or can be operated
through attached lifting tubes with water sprinklers.
A solar module or a power pack with a voltage of 6 to 9 volts can be used as the
energy source. When used with a solar module, the pump works only if enough solar
radiation strikes the solar module.
The delivery rate of the pump can be adjusted using the regulator on the front side of
the pump. The water pump has no On/Off switch. As soon as the pump is connected
to its power supply, it starts pumping water.
4.1 Installation and commissioning
1. Roll out the connecting cable of the
pump completely.
2. Place the pump in water (please note
Point 5 here).
3. Connect the lifting tubes till they pro-
ject out of the water surface. For this,
first attach the reducer to the pump.
4. You can now choose from 3 different
water nozzles or a single jet nozzle.
The multiple jet nozzle attachments
are always snapped onto the nozzle
cup.
5. Alternatively, the pump can also be
used for pumping water through a
hose. For this, you just have to attach
a hose to the pump’s pipe.
6. Now supply power to the water pump
through a solar module. Use the
enclosed plug with cable (red = posi-
tive pole, black = negative pole) for
this. If you have purchased this pump as a complete solar power system,
then the appropriate plug is already attached to the solar module.
Note:
The plug has reverse-polarity protection, no force should be used while
inserting. The glass of the solar module is fragile.
Caution! Risk of injury! A broken module cannot be repaired again and must be
disposed off in an environmental-friendly way.
7. If the pumping capacity is too high, you can reduce the amount of water.
Simply turn the regulator on the front side of the pump in clockwise direction.
Please do not use force while adjusting. The adjustment range is 45°.
4.2 Operation with LED light ring
The accessories include a LED light ring. This light ring can be easily slipped onto
the lifting tube.
Electrical connection is established via the socket on the pump. For this, remove
the drain plug, insert the light ring plug in the socket and tighten the cap nut firmly.
Depending on the model, the lighting is activated via a twilight sensor.
5. Dry run protection
The pump is equipped as standard with a dry run
protection. Two sensor points are provided on the
side of the housing for this. The pump works if these
points are under water. If a point projects out of the
water, the pump does not work.
6. Care and maintenance
For optimum performance of the pump, it must be washed occasionally with
warm water depending on the water contamination. To wash the pump, open
the housing as follows:
Note:
Please do not use force while dismantling or assembling the pump. The
parts are very fragile and can break easily.
1. Disconnect the pump’s plug.
2. Pull the front cover of the pump forward like a slide gently (Figure 1).
3. Turn the front cover of the pump by about 45° clockwise (Figure 1) and
carefully pull the cover forward (Figure 2). Watch out for the plastic shaft
and the seal while doing this.
4. Carefully drag the impeller out of the pump (if necessary, use pliers).
(Figure 3).
5. Now clean all the parts carefully with warm water.
6. Then plug the shaft with the impeller carefully into the hole of the pump.
Ensure that the shaft is fitted firmly.
7. Now place the cover carefully over the pump. Ensure that the seal is fitted
properly.
8. Turn the front cover again by 45 degrees counter-clockwise into the starting
position.
9. Slide the lower part of the pump completely into the pump housing.
The pump is ready to use again.
7. Malfunction
Pump is not pumping water
- Is the pump completely submerged in water? Dry run protection (Point 5)
- Is the polarity of the supply voltage reversed? Cable colour brown = + pole,
blue = negative pole
- Is the pump dirty? Cleaning the pump, see Point 6.
