SOLAR PUMP & PANEL KIT MANUAL
AMP-P022C
Read this manual carefully before using this product and save this manual for future reference.
1. OVERVIEW
This kit is designed to operate with "solar powered" and "battery powered" modes.
The solar-powered pump is intended for fountain, pond or outdoor use and was designed with dry-run protection to prevent the pump from
burning out if the fountain, pond or pool dries out. The pump derives its power directly from the solar panel or from the power stored within the
rechargeable batteries. In order for the pump to operate, the solar panel must be placed in direct sunlight. The performance of the pump depends
on the season and the position of the solar panel as well as the amount of power stored within the battery pack.
2. AS SEMBLY
Carefully unpack all components.
Connect pump accessories to obtain performance for the intended use. Place the pump underwater, ensuring that the pump will remain submersed
during operation. For use with a water fountain, attach the pump directly to the fountain tubing; if the tubing is not long enough to allow the pump
to remain completely submersed in water, you may use flat stones or bricks to elevate the pump to the proper height.
Install the included rechargeable 'AA' batteries into the battery case of the solar panel. Connect stake pieces and affix the solar panel frame to
the bracket on the stake. Connect the pump and light cables to the solar panel and place the panel in full, direct sunlight avoiding areas that will
become shaded during the day.

3. PANEL PLACEMENT
Insert the spike into the ground. Position the solar panel to face South (in northern hemisphere) to make the most of daylight hours. It is important
to angle the solar panel towards the sun when sun is at its highest point. Ensure the solar panel is not shaded by trees, shrubs or buildings.

4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: The LED light (optional) is designed to only work at nighttime when the solar panel is set to "battery powered" mode.
02/2019AMP-P022C Page 2 / 3
Solar Powered Mode:
Recommended mode for daytime use.
Press the “solar on/off” button, the green indicator light will illuminate when the panel power is on; the pump will only run in bright or good sunlight
conditions. On bright sunny days, surplus power will charge the battery. The pump will not work on cloudy days as there is insufficient power to
run the pump.
Battery Powered Mode:
Recommended mode for night or a cloudy day.
While the "solar powered" mode is turned on, press the “Battery on/off” button, the red indicator light will illuminate when this mode is on. This
mode allows the pump to continue to operate at nighttime or if a day becomes overcast/cloudy. On bright sunny days, the batteries will fully
charge, allowing the pump to run up to 4 hours. On cloudy days the pump will run for significantly less time because the batteries did not receive
an adequate charge. The mode will switch to “solar powered” automatically when battery power is low; "battery powered" mode must be turned
back on manually – it is not automatic.
Low Battery:
If the red indicator light is blinking, the battery power is low.
Allow the solar panel to recharge the batteries for at least 4 hours in direct sunlight; do not attempt to repeatedly turn on the "battery powered"
mode until a sufficient charge has been allowed as doing so will deplete the battery power.
Adjustable Water Rate:
While the mode is “battery powered”, the water rate can be adjusted by pressing the “ batt. on/off high” button. The water flow will be adjusted
higher or lower, once the water flow is at a satisfactory level, stop pressing the button.
6. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Solar Panel:
Clean the face of the solar panel often to ensure optimal performance. Solar panels can be come extremely hot in sunshine so it is recommended
that cleaning be performed early in the morning, late in the evening or during a relatively cool day.
The solar panel should only be cleaned with a soft tissue, soft cloth or soft sponge and a propriety glass cleaning solution. Take care not to
scratch the glass of the solar panel while cleaning.
Pump (6V DC):
After some time of use, if the pump starts losing power or stops working you should check for the buildup of sediment or scale in the filter and/or
in the pump housing. The filter housing can be removed by pressing down on the bottom of the filter housing.
To clear the impeller, open the pump housing at the front by sliding up the front plastic cover.
5. BATTERY INFORMATION
Rechargeable batteries becomes less efficient with repeated charge and discharge cycles. If you find the batteries appears to be less efficient
or do not run as long, try a boost charge. To do this, disconnect the pump and light cables from the solar panel for 2 to 3 sunny days to allow for
a maximum charge to the batteries. If after this boost charge they are still not performing to expectations, the lifespan may have been exceeded
which requires them to be changed. Open the battery cover to replace the (4) AA rechargeable batteries.
IMPORTANT: Only use compatible rechargeable batteries, alternatives may be incompatible which may damage the system and will void the
warranty. See contact information under WARRANTY to order the correct replacements; have the product number from the top of this manual
available for faster service.
Dispose of the batteries in accordance with local laws and regulations.
DO NOT USE BLEACH to clean this product
