INSTALLATION
See Fig. 1 for typical installation connections to pump
(
NOTE:
Fountain accessories not included with pump).
1. Install the pump on a hard level surface. Make sure
that the pump cannot pick up rocks, mud and debris,
etc. If necessary, put a block under the pump to raise
it slightly. If used with a fountain jet, position the
pump so that the fountain jet is above the surface of
the water.
2.
Protect the power cord from damage.
Uncovered
cords should be routinely inspected for damage or
deterioration.
DO NOT
operate the pump if the cord
is damaged.
3. If used in a garden pond, adjust the diverter valve to
control the fountain spray height and flow over the
waterfall.
Do not
restrict pump suction to adjust
flows. Restricting the suction will starve the pump for
water and can damage the pump.
4. If the pump is connected to a pond filter, adjust the
diverter valve to provide adequate flow to the filter.
Refer to the filter instruction manual to determine
flow requirements of filter.
