Unit installation (A, B)
The unit floats on the water. To keep it in position, the enclosed wire cables are fastened to the unit and either to the
bank or to the pond bottom.
Anchoring the unit at the bank (A): Shorten the two wire cables to the desired length. Form loops at the cable ends and
fasten with the cable clamps (3). Hook the cables into the eyebolts (4) at the skimmer housing by means of bayonet
hooks
(1). Knock the two tent pegs (2) into the bank ground. Important: Adhere to the specified bracing angles (6) to
prevent the unit from moving. Set the unit in the water and hook the cables to the tent pegs (2) using the bayonet
hooks (1). Attention: Pull re
lieve the connection cable
(8) and protect the power plug from moisture!
Anchoring the unit to the pond bottom
(B): Shorten the two wire cables to the desired length (minimum 5 m). Form
loops at the cable ends and fasten with the cable clamps (3). Hook the
cables into the eyebolts (4) at the skimmer
housing by means of bayonet hooks (1). For anchoring to the pond bottom, screw the enclosed threaded hooks
(9)
including the dowel, for instance, into two sufficiently heavy stones. Hook both cables with bayonet
hooks (1) in the
threaded hook
(9), lower the stones to the bottom of the pond and set the unit on the water. Attention: Pull relieve the
connection cable
(8) and protect the power plug from moisture!
