Start-up
• You can set up the solar module using the supplied holder or mount it on the ground
stake.
The plastic strip is slightly longer on one of the solar module’s lateral sides; here you
can attach the holder.
On the holder you can then attach the ground stake. You can insert the supplied
extension tube between the holder and the ground stake, depending on the site of
the installation.
Do not use force when you put the ground stake into the ground. Do not drive
the ground stake into the ground with a hammer; this will damage it.
Align the solar module towards the south, and please choose a location that is not
in the shade.
• Attach the aerator stone to one end of the hose.
• Connect the other end of the hose to the air outlet of the air pump.
• Connect the round plug on the air pump’s cable to the matching socket on the back
of the solar module.
• Place the aerator stone in the pond; the aerator stone should not be more than 1 m
under water.
Make sure that the aerator stone does not sink to the bottom of the pond.
Algae or mud could impede performance.
• If the amount of sunlight is sufficient, the air pump will start and bubbles will emerge
from the aerator stone introducing oxygen into the water.
• Place the air pump in such a way that it can suck in air. Make sure that the air pump
does not lie in a puddle or directly on the ground; place the pump on a flat stone for
example.
If a small amount of water gets into the suction opening (e.g. during rain), it will be
forced through the aerator stone by the air pump.
Take the hose/aerator stone out of the pond during frost to avoid damage.
Store the product in a dry, clean and dark room so that the air pump cannot
start (unplug the solar module from the air pump, if necessary).
Maintenance and cleaning
The product requires no servicing on your part apart from occasional cleaning of the
solar module surface.
Only use a clean, soft cloth moistened with water for cleaning.
Never use aggressive cleaning agents, as these can cause discolouration. To prevent
scratch marks, do not press too strongly on the surface of the solar module when
cleaning.
Algae can form on the aerator stone after prolonged operation. They can be removed
with a soft brush. Then, check the function of the aerator stone in a bucket of water
(direct the solar module towards the sun). If only a few air bubbles appear (despite
sufficient exposure of the solar module to sunlight), the aerator stone must be re-
placed with a new one.
Disposal
The product must not be disposed of in household waste!
Please dispose of the product, when it is no longer of use, in accordance

Operating instructions
Solar pond aerator
Item no.
Intended use
The product is used to improve the oxygen supply of a water pond.
Depending on the exposure to sunlight, a solar module generates electricity for a sep-
arate air pump. By means of a hose, the air is passed to an aerator stone that gener-
ates many small air bubbles.
