placed in the suction basket. If the baffle is inserted, the pump will draw water via the suction basket.
2. If the baffle is not fitted, the additional hose coupling (1 to 5) can be connected to the suction
side of the pump. This makes it possible to draw in water using, for example, a skimmer, or a suction
basket located elsewhere in the pond.
3. Connect the hose(s) to the coupling(s) with hose clamps (not supplied)
4. Put the pump in the water, allowing it to fill with water.
5. To avoid unnecessary fouling, the pump should be placed on a solid stone tile to prevent the
pump from sucking in sludge etc.
6. Ensure a water depth of at least 20 cm above the pump to prevent the pump from sucking in air.
7. Maximum immersion depth of the pump is 2 m under water.
8. Operate the pump by plugging the mains plug into the socket.
3. MAINTENANCE
The pump is low-maintenance, but not maintenance-free!
To extend the life of the pump and ensure trouble-free operation, we recommend regular maintenance
and cleaning. With few operations, any person can perform all maintenance work without any prob-
lems.
Pond water can be clear, but due to growth of microorganisms, the basket passage can become small-
er, resulting in capacity reduction.
The rotor with impeller can become fouled by lime-laden water. Lime deposits can block the pump if
cleaning is not done in time.
Check this regularly, especially in the first months of use.
The degree of pollution depends entirely on water quality.
If the motor is overloaded, the built-in motor protection will switch off the pump, it can also switch on
again after some time if the motor was too hot and has cooled down again.
If switching on and off continues, irreparable damage may occur to the engine. Regular maintenance
prevents capacity reduction and pump damage.
3.A CLEANING THE PUMP
Observe safety regulations!
Remove the plug from the socket. Remove the pump from the water ( never pull it up by the power
cable!)
3.B DISASSEMBLY
1. Open hose coupling(s) and remove the hoses
2. Remove the upper part of vacuum basket by opening clips (13)
3. Open the pump housing (6)
4. Remove the rotor with impeller (7) from motor
Use a soft brush to clean the parts under running water. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents.
