6

impeller wheel. The ceramic shaft may be pulled out if required.

. Now, carefully clean all parts with warm water.

7

3. Intended use

This submersible pump is designed for the delivery/feeding of water in a garden
stream, fountain or similar. Via a hose connection, this pump is able to deliver water
and is particularly suited for the feeding of streams.

This pump is only suited for the delivery of water!

A solar module with a minimum power of 25 W, a rechargeable battery with an ope­rating voltage of 12 V or a power supply unit with a voltage of 12 Volt may be used
as energy sources. In case the pump is used with a solar module, the pump will
only work if the solar module is exposed to sufficient solar radiation.

The water pump does not have an on/off switch. The pump starts delivering water
as soon as it is connected to the power supply.

4. Assembly and activation

1. Completely unroll the connecting cable on the stream pump.

2. The hose connection is suitable for various hose diameters (inside diameter 25,
32 or 38 mm). Cut the connection according to the diameter of your hose by
means of a saw. Attach the hose onto the outlet and secure it by means of a
matching hose clamp (not included in the delivery).

3. Mount the hose connection to the pump outlet by means of the enclosed gland
nut. Via the ball joint, the hose outlet may, according to the circumstances, be
adjusted under water.

4. Completely immerse the stream pump into the water (in doing so, please pay
attention to point 5.).

5. Now supply the stream pump with energy.
For this purpose, please use the enclosed connector and cable (brown = positi­ve pole, blue = negative pole). In case you bought the pump as a complete
solar system, then the solar module is already equipped with the matching con­nector.

Note: The connector is reverse polarity protected; please do not apply force when
plugging it in.

5. Protection against dry running

By standard, the pump is equipped with a protection against dry running. For this
purpose, there are two sensor points attached to the side of the pump body (not
visible from the outside). The pump will work if those points are underwater. The
pump does not work of one of the points protrudes from the water!

7. Malfunctions

The pump does not deliver any water

- Is the pump completely immersed in the water? protection against dry running.
(point 5)

- Was the supply voltage connected with reverse polarity? Cable color brown = +
(positive) pole, blue = - (negative pole).

- Pump dirty? For the cleaning of the pump see point 6.

- Capacity of the connected solar module or power supply unit sufficient?
