INSTALLATION
1. If required, have a qualified electrician
install weatherproof power point near
to the pond or water feature, (within the
cable length of the pump).
2. Place the pump in desired location,
ensure the pump is on a stable surface
that is free of sludge, sand and other
debris, and connect tubing to the outlet
or attach fountain kit.
3. Ensure pump is submerged, then plug
in power cord and switch on.
MAINTENANCE
Disconnect power cord from the power
supply before performing maintenance.
Never lift the pump by the power cord.
The only serviceable item is the impellor
set. The motor unit of the pump is
encapsulated with epoxy resin and does
not need lubrication.
All Aquapro submersible pumps are water
cooled; if pump becomes restricted it
will overheat and could cause permanent
damage. Ensure pump does not become
blocked or restricted.
The power cord cannot be replaced.
If the cord is damaged, the pump must
be discarded.
The impellor set is a wearing consumable
part. Regular inspections, cleaning and
maintenance of impellor is necessary to
ensure longer impellor life.
If the impellor set becomes worn or
damaged it should be replaced (available
from your dealer or special orders). Failure to
do so may cause serious damage to pump.
1. Disconnect the power cord from
the power supply before performing
maintenance.
2. Remove from water, detach tubing/
fountain kit and remove front cage
from pump.
3. Remove the impellor cover by
either turning anti-clockwise and pulling
out or pulling tab to unclip (depending
on model).
4. Gently remove the impellor and shaft,
use long nose pliers if needed. Take
care not to break ceramic shaft (if
applicable) because they are brittle.
5. Clean impellor, checking for any signs of
wear or damage.
6. Reinstall the shaft, and then carefully
slide the impellor onto the shaft. The
impellor will pull itself in by magnetic
force, this is normal (take care not to
pinch your fingers).
7.Replacetheimpellorcovermakingsurethe shaft is located properly on the
impellor cover.
8. Replace the front cage.
9. Re-attach tubing/fountain kit, submerse
in water, connect to power supply and
turn on.
