3. Appropriate Use
The solar pump set is destined for outdoor use.
4. Commissioning
Please pay attention, that during operation splashing water can cause damages to the subsoil and the closer
environment of the fountain. Do only put up and use the pump kit in suitable places. We do not accept any
liability for damages which occur through spraying or running out water.
1. Take all parts carefully out of the package. Treat the solar module very carefully. A broken solar
module is not subject to warranty adjustment.
2. Choose a suitable place for the battery box in order to protect it from direct meteorological influence,
for example from rain.
3. Fix the ground spike to the aluminium frame of the solar module and install it in a sunny place. Ideal is
an orientation southward. Lay the cable of the solar module in order to avoid stumbling blocks. Attach
the socket of the cable to the plug of the cable at the battery box. When the sun shines on the solar
module the integrated battery is charged.
4. Compose the standpipe out of the multipart standpipe and nozzle set and slide the LED ring for the
lighting over it. Chose one of the multi-jet or single jet nozzles. Now the standpipe is stuck on the
socket of the pump and then placed in the pond.
5. Attach the two connecting cables of the pump and the LED ring with the appropriate connections at
the battery box.
6. Activate the solar pump set via the button „EIN“(ON) at the battery box. For activation control glows
the green LED „Betrieb“(Operation). If the battery is charged only weakly, the red LED „Akku
schwach“ (battery weak) blinks. If sunlight falls on the solar module and the battery is charged, the
orange LED „Aufladung“ (charging) blinks. Please wait until the red LED expires.
7. If you push the button „ON“ on the remote control – or the button „Pumpe Ein/Aus“ (pump on/off) at
the battery box, the pump starts working. At night the LED ring switches itself automatically on to
support the lighting of the fountain. After about 2 hours the pump and the LED ring switch themselves
off again. A new start is possible as long as the charging of the battery is sufficient.
8. With the controller at the battery box you can adjust the flow rate of the pump. So you can achieve
interesting effects in the pond depending on the different fountain adapters. The effects are pointed
out even more thanks to the atmospheric lighting in the darkness.

5. Care, maintenance and malfunction
Clean the product only with a humid cloth. Please to not use any sharp cleaner or detergents. In the case of
malfunction of the pump check the position for sufficient sunlight. The function of the pump is only possible at
temporary direct sunlight on the solar module. At dull days the solar energy is possibly not enough to operate
the pump
For cleaning the filter box of the pump can be opened. Pull off the cap at the front of the pump. Take off the
foam filter elements. Clean them with clear water. Take off the lid above the pump wing as well as the magne-
tic rotor with the rotor wing. The reassembly is effected in reverse order.
The 6V lead accu installed in the battery box is changeable. If needed, open the 5 screws at the front plate
and change it against a similar one. The reassembly is effected in reverse order. Please pay attention that the
seal is right in place so that no humidity can penetrate the battery box.
Attention! During the winter and transition periods with frost the pump must be completely taken out
of the pond and cleaned and stored together with the battery box in a frost-protected and dry place. In
order to assure a longer durability of the solar module we recommend to store it as well protected
during the winter.
