. Always unplug the pump first before working on it.
. Before assembling system extensions first unscrew the pre-
assembled cascade of the pump and then screw one of the
water jets on again.
. Follow the Safety and Assembly Information attached to the
operating instructions.
Operation
. Put the pump into the water and arrange excess cabling below
the pump into a ring. This prevents the pump from floating to
the edge of the pond.
. If the pump does not float level on the water, then it will need
to be balanced.
1. Dismantle the pump as described in the paragraph
“Dismantling”.
2. Use the knife supplied to carefully cut off
a section of the float (white styrofoam
ring). The right balance can be found by
turning the float.
The pump must be able to float freely in the water.
The water should be at least 20 cm deep.
Put the plug connection into a free socket of the transformer
and connect the power cable of the transformer with a 230 V AC
socket.
A Caution! Pump will start running immediately!
Avoid dry operation of the pump as dry running will produce
undesirable heat and destroy the pump.
Care Instructions
Take care that the pump is always completely submerged in water.
A lack of water can cause the feed impeller to turn in the wrong
direction.
➔ Remedy:
Disconnect the plugs and fill the pump with water. Then connect
the plugs again.
The lower part of the pump must be completely free from dirt
particles i.e. all filter outlets must be open. If they are obstructed
by dirt, they should be cleaned as follows:

. Remove the pump as a whole from the water and use a water
jet and a soft brush to clean it.
➔ ➔ Take care that all outlets are free of dirt.
. If there are deposits of dirt inside the pump then dismantle the
casing ( ➔ ➔ see „Dismantling”) and carefully clean the interior
fittings with water.

If the feed impeller becomes blocked, the pump and the filter
should be cleaned (see above).
Dismantling

remove the cover.
6. Unscrew the nut using a spanner.
7. Remove the pump.
8. Turn the pump casing to the left to the limit stop and then pull it
straight forwards and remove it! Do not tilt !
9. Pull the feed impeller out of the motor casing.
. Then assemble all the fittings reversing the order and direction
in which they were dismantled. Please take care that the seal
ring is properly re-fitted.
➔ Make sure while assembling that you attach the pump casing
with the pressure joint being cated, press it firmly and then
turn it straight to the right.
