•
Always disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket when you stop using
the product, when faults must be repaired or when cleaning or maintenance must
be carried out.
•
The product complies with protection class IPX8/IPX4 (protection class of the
pump = IPX8, protection class of the mains plug = IPX4).
• This product is built according to protection class I. Only a proper mains socket of
the public supply network may be used as the voltage source (for the operating
voltage of the garden pump, see chapter "Technical Data" and inscription on the
type plate).
• If you have reasons to assume that safe use is no longer possible, put the fountain
pump out of operation and remove the mains plug from the mains socket to secure
it against inadvertent operation. It must be assumed that safe operation is no
longer possible if:
- the pump or the connection cable show visible damage,
- the pump does not operate any longer,
- the pump was transported or stored under unfavourable conditions,
- it was exposed to heavy loads during transport.
•
The pumped fluid should be as clean as possible. Impurities (e.g. sand, earth,
leaves, etc.) cause higher wear, thus reducing the life span of the fountain pump,
and also the possibility of mechanical clogging of the drive rotor and blockage of all
intake ports. In addition, even slight dirt can clog the nozzles of the supplied spray
heads. Therefore, regular functional control of the fountain pump is absolutely
essential.
• The product is not protected against dry run.
• The product is not suitable for the conveyance of drinking water.
•
Nobody is allowed to stay in the pumped fluid during operation of the pump.
•
Consequential damages caused by malfunction or fault of the fountain pump
should be prevented by relevant measures (e.g. by using a water level gauge,
sensors, alarm devices and suchlike).
• Only use the product in temperate climates. It is not suitable for use in tropical
climates.
•
Consult a technician if you are not sure how to use or connect the product, or if
you have concerns about safety.
•
Maintenance, modifications and repairs may only be carried out by a technician or
a specialist repair centre.
• If you have any questions that are not answered in these operating instructions,
please contact our technical customer service or other professionals.
b) Installation site and connection
•
Assemble and operate the product in a way that keeps it out of reach of children.
• In the place of operation the ambient temperature must not be around or under the
freezing point (<0 °C). This causes the water in the fountain pump to freeze; the
higher volume of ice destroys the fountain pump. Store the product in a dry place
above freezing point during winter.
• If you use an extension line or if the laying of cables to the garden pump is
required, they must not have a smaller cross-section than the garden pump itself.
Use only extension leads with earthing contact suitable for outdoor use.
•
Protect the mains cable from heat, oil/gasoline and sharp edges; do not step on
the mains cable, do not drive over it (e.g. with a garden wagon, bicycle, car). Never
bend the mains cables and do not place objects on them.
• Protect the mains plug against moisture! Never plug in or unplug the product when
your hands are wet. There is a risk of fatal electric shock!
•
Make sure that electrical plug-in connections are located in areas protected
against flooding, otherwise, there is a risk of fatal electric shock!

Setup
Place the fountain pump into a shallow pond or a similar place and switch it on. Through the
various nozzle attachments, the pumped water is sprayed out in different patterns.
For operation, the fountain pump is placed in the water so that only the extension tube
(1)
and
the spray head you have selected are out of the water. The pump must be operated at a depth
of at least 20 cm.
However, do not place the pump in the bottom sediment; rather, use a somewhat
raised base. For example, place the pump on a suitable stone disc.

•
Connect the fountain pump as shown in Figure B. First, place the T-piece with shut-off
valve
(6)
on the outlet opening of the fountain pump and turn it clockwise.
• Then, place the extension tube on the T-piece and turn it clockwise.
• Place the desired spray head on the extension tube and turn it clockwise.
• For example, a suitable hose for the water supply of a mini-stream can be connected via the
hose connection on the T-piece.
• Turn the shut-off valve on the hose connection to open or close it. Turn the shut-off valve
counterclockwise so it is open. See Figure C.
•
The flow rate can be adjusted via the rotary knob on the outlet opening. If the shut-off valve on
the hose connection is open, you should set the flow rate to maximum (turn in the "+" direction).
Never block the flow completely; otherwise, the fountain pump can be damaged!
The pumped water should be clean and clear. Only fine suspended matter is
admissible, which may occur in every normal garden pond. Otherwise the nozzle
attachments will clog!
In addition, coarser impurities (leaves, dirt particles, pebbles etc.) clog the suction
ports or block the pump.
The fountain pump may never be held, carried or secured via the mains cable; there
is a risk of a fatal electrical shock!
The fountain pump can only be operated in an upright position!
