Water Aerator
Operating Instructions
(Translation of the operating instructions)
“Aqua-Handy”
This user information should be read and observed before installation and use of the
apparatus supplied.
Should your chosen aerator require assembly before operation, please read carefully the
separate assembly information enclosed. These guidelines should be read and followed
first.
The aeration apparatus has been manufactured to circulate and ventilate water. Any other
use is absolutely prohibited.
Before operation, examination by a qualified technician should take place to ensure that
necessary electrical precautions are available. An electrical fault switch (FI) with a nominal
current of up to 30mA is stipulated. The voltage displayed on the label of the apparatus
must agree with that of the mains voltage. Standard models are delivered completely
sealed and ready for use. All apparatus are equipped with a motor (overheating) protector
(either by a motor protection device attached to the cable end or by a heat sensor inside the
motor itself). If you have received apparatus without motor protection or with a free cable
end, then a qualified technician should install the motor protector and/or attachment before
operation.
Before connecting the aerator to the mains, please ensure that no one remains in the water.
Working on the aerator while in the water (in particular, swimming to the apparatus or
clambering onto the aerator) is strictly prohibited on the grounds of safety. Warning!
Injury risk. For small pools/ponds, touching of the apparatus while in operation is prohibited
The water/waste aerator can now be connected to the mains. Warning –Please ensure that
the plug connection is dry.
Maintenance
All water aerators supplied require little or no maintenance. From time to time simply clean
all parts of the apparatus. To do this you must remove the apparatus from the water.
Warning –first disconnect from the mains!
If the apparatus is supplied with a screen, this, in particular, should be kept clean, for perfect
functioning of the apparatus can only be assured if the surface of the screen is clean.
At least once a year, the apparatus should be examined for perfect running of the propeller
and, in the case of submersible motors, for the condition of the motor’s watertight flanges. If
you experience any problems, please contact us.
Guarantee
This apparatus carries a 12-month guarantee of proper use. A change to the apparatus or
opening of the motor parts is prohibited and renders the guarantee invalid. We can accept
no liability for damage and losses incurred as a result of breakdown of the aerator. The
operator is advised to obtain protection (an alarm system), which would alert them to any
eventual breakdown of the apparatus.
Further Information
We would advise you that, in accordance with product liability law, we do not accept liability
for damage caused by our apparatus, if the information and advice given within these
operating instructions has not been followed.
The aerator should never be pulled, carried or fixed into place, by the connection cable.
Only suitably qualified persons should carry out replacement of the connection cable. The
connection lead should be no lighter than a rubber hose HO7 RN-F (EN 60335-2-41). Avoid
wear and tear on the connection cable!
The electric lead should be kept in an area where there is no risk of flooding and should be
protected from damp. Connection cable and plug should be examined for damage before
use.
The aerator should not be operated out of water! In the event of aerator defects, repairs
should be carried out only by the manufacturer or by an authorised dealer. In addition, only
original spare parts should be used.
The aerator is fitted with a rubber over-current device, designed to protect the motor from
overload. It is fitted next to the round site plug, and has a reset button. It is not weatherproof,
and should be protected from rain and direct sunlight. If the overcurrent device trips out the
power to the aerator, investigate the cause promptly. Repeated pushing of the reset button,
may damage the motor. Consult your supplier about servicing the motor. Removal of the
overcurrent device will invalidate the warranty.
