WARNING: Always unplug or disconnect the pump from the electrical supply before putting your hands (or any part of your
body) in the water or whilst the pump is being installed, repaired, maintained or handled.
·All pumps are intended for submersible use and MUST BE under water at all times for proper operation and cooling.
·Never run a pump dry.
·The pump should be installed on a firm base in the pond so that the fountain jet is just above the surface of the water.
·If needed, the telescopic pipe can be adjusted in length (all models) and moved to find the vertical position (from model
1200).
During the winter months, when most decorative fountains are not required, the pump should either be removed from the pond
and thoroughly dried or operated for a few minutes every week to ensure that the rotating parts remain free.
During frosty periods, operation of the pump with the fountain jet removed will assist in preventing the pond from freezing
over.
·Check the power supply is properly connected and working.
·Check fuse.
·Disconnect electrical supply. Remove pump and follow maintenance instructions.
Check outer shell is clean. Check hose is not blocked or kinked.
Check impeller cover is clean. Check fountain jet is clean.
Check waterfall connection is not blocked Check pump flow adjuster is not set to minimum.
Check t-piece flow adjuster is not set too low.
