PUMP INSTRUCTIONS:
SPECIAL WARNINGS & CAUTIONS:
WARNINGS:
1. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect only to a properly grounded, grounding type receptacle.
2. Do not exceed the voltage shown on the pump.
3. Always disconnect the pump from the power source prior to beginning any maintenance or work on the pump or fountain.
4. Inspect the power cord for damage before installation and/or maintenance. Replace the entire pump if damage is found.
5. For pumps with a 3-prong, grounded type plug, do not remove the grounding pin from the plug on the power cord.
CAUTIONS:
1. The fountain shall not be installed within 10 feet (3.05m) of a pool or spa. When the pump is connected to a GFCI protected circuit, the fountain unit has
the option of being installed no less than 5 feet (1.52m) from a pool or spa.
2. Use only with portable, self contained fountains no larger than 5’ in any direction.
3. Use a proper power source as indicated on the pump label. Keep the cord away from high temperature and/or heat sources.
4. Do not lift the pump by its power cord.
5. Keep the fountain out of reach of children.
6. Do not let the pump run dry. Pump must be completely submerged for proper operation and cooling.
7. Do not pump heated liquids.
8. Operate in freshwater only. Avoid heavily chlorinated water and water with high PH levels.
PUMP ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Remove the pump from the package and untie the power cord.
2. Place the pump in the desired location in your pond or fountain ensuring that it is completely submerged in the water. If the pump is to be used in a pond,
raise the pump off of the pond floor to ensure that it is above any dirt that will collect, as this will adversely affect the performance of the pump.
3. Adjust the flow rate (if applicable) to the maximum (+) position.
4. Connect the power cord from the pump to a properly grounded, grounding type receptacle (GFCI).
5. If necessary, readjust the flow rate to the desired level (remember to always disconnect from the power source before handling the pump).
CARE & MAINTENANCE:
1. Keep the water clean – clean water will prolong the useful life of your pump.
2. Use a pre-filter on your pump if available.
3. Regular cleaning of the pump will be necessary depending upon the environment in which it is operated. Clean the pump when it is visibly soiled or
when a noticeable drop in performance is detected. Failure to clean the pump will result in overheating of the pump and the voiding of the
warranty!
4. Before cleaning, always disconnect the pump from the power source.
5. Disassemble the pump by removing the inlet screen & the impeller housing. Remove the impeller/rotor assembly by gently pulling on the impeller blades.
Use a soft cloth or brush to clean the area inside of the pump where the impeller/rotor assembly was. Clean the inlet screen, impeller housing & impeller
in warm soapy water. Reassemble the pump and inspect for proper operation.
HINTS & TROUBLESHOOTING:
1. Ensure that the pump’s flow control switch is set to maximum (+) before operating. Once the flow is established, the pump can be adjusted downward to
the desired level.
2. If the pump operates, but there is no flow, check to ensure the pump is fully submerged.
3. If the pump operates, but there is no flow, check the supply tubing for kinks and correct.
4. If the pump operates, but there is no flow, and if the pump is submerged and there are no kinks in the supply tubing, lift the pump from the water. Remove
supply tubing at pump outlet and clean tubing inside and out if necessary. Reset pump in water (outlet side up) and once water begins to flow, re-attach
the supply tubing.
Pump is replaceable with model # PT-505
