The Ubbink Elimax pond pumps are high-quality products based on the latest technology. The pumps use synchronous technology and are suitable for use in garden ponds,
fountain basins as well in combination with e.g. fountain jets and gargoyles.
Safety regulations
• The power supply must conform to the product specifi cations. If in doubt, ask your local utility about connection regulations. Do not connect the pump or the network cable if they
do not conform to the specifi ed regulations!
• For reasons of the European safety standards, the pump must always be connected to a socket with earth contact. The electric circuit must include an earth leakage protection
switch (FI-Protection switch /30mA). Further information is available from your local electro-specialist.
• The pump is not suitable for use in swimming pools, swimming ponds or other environments, in which persons get into contact with the water and, therefore, must not be used for
these purposes.
• Never use the cable for carrying the pump and never pull the pump out of the pond by the cable.
• Never remove the plug by cutting it from the connecting cable and never shorten the connecting cable. In case of not complying with this, the guarantee becomes invalid!
• Ensure that plug and socket are dry before start-up.
• Always switch off the electricity before maintenance work at the pond or for cleaning the pump.
• This pump is suitable for pumping water at a temperature of minimum 4°C to maximum 35°C.
• The pump must not run dry. This can lead to irreparable damages.
• This device is not designed to be operated by persons (Including children) with restricted physical, sensory or mental capabilities or due to experience and/or lack of knowledge,
unless they are supervised by a person responsible for their safety or have been instructed about how the device must be operated. Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the device,.
• Replacement of the net cable is not possible. In order to avoid hazards, the pump must be taken out of operation and disposed off in case the connecting cable gets damaged.
General Warning
Parts of the packaging may be dangerous (e.g. plastic bags). Therefore, these must be stored away from children, pets etc.
Application
• All pumps are equipped with an economical, extremely powerful and very reliable motor.
• By using the supplied fl ow controller (T-piece) you can use the pump for several applications at the same time, e.g. fountain jet and gargoyle.
• The supplied ball pivot allows you to align the telescope tube with fountain jet vertically.
Start-up
• Please, read the operating instruction thoroughly.
• Never let the pump operate dry, i.e. without water fl owing through.
• Install the pump at least 20 cm and maximum 100 cm below water level on a stable base free from silt or other pollution.
• Screw the fl ow controller (T-piece) with the telescope tube and selected fountain jet or the required hose nozzle to the discharge nozzle at the top.
Maintenance and cleaning
The pump needs neither lubrication nor special maintenance work. Only, from time to time check the inlet slits at the housing for dirt and, if needed, remove/clean these with clean
water
We recommend disassembling the pump (See drawing) in case of bad soiling:
a) Remove the fl ow controller, hose nozzle or the telescope tube with jet.
b) Unscrew the nut from the discharge nozzle (1.)
c) Loosen the top part of the pump housing from the bottom part (clip-on lock). Now you can clean the top/bottom part as well as the outer pump housing (2.) + (3.)
d) After this, remove the pump housing from the motor part (With bayonet catch) and carefully loosen the rotor and the ceramic shaft, which can then also be cleaned (4.)
e) After cleaning, reassemble the pump in reverse order.
• The frequency, with which this cleaning is necessary, depends on the respective use situation as well as the soiling intensity of your pond.
• During winter, ensure that the pump does not freeze. It is best to keep it during the winter in a pail with water in a frost free location. .
Cleaning/replacing the rotor
- Proceed as described from (a) to (e).
- Please use a soft cloth for cleaning the rotor. Never use a (chemical) cleaning agent!
- Avoid damaging the ceramic shaft
- If necessary, replace the whole rotor including the ceramic shaft (Complete spare part)
