. Introduction

1

Dear Costumer, thank you for purchasing the solar pump kit.

ith this solar pump kit you purchased a product manufactured according to the cur-

W

ent state of technology.

r

This product fulfils all requirements of the valid European and national regula­tions. The conformity was proved. The relevant declarations and documentati-

n are deposited with the manufacturer.

o

o maintain this state and guarantee a safe operation, you as the user will have to fol-

T
low this operating manual!

2. Safety Instructions

- In case of damages caused by not following
this operating manual, the warranty rights
will expire! We exclude liability for any

onsequential damages!

c

!

ue to safety and admission reasons (CE) it is not allowed to arbitrarily reconstruct and/or

D

hange the solar pump kit.

c

herefore, please keep to the operating manual.

T
The accident prevention rules of the association of the industrial trade cooperative associa­tion for electric plants and working material are to be considered in industrial environments.

- We exclude liability for property or

ersonal damages caused by inappropriate

p

andling or not following the safety instructions.

h

- In these cases any guarantee rights will expire.

3. Proper use according to manufacturer
specifications

- The pump system is conceived for outdoor use in garden ponds. The pump

umps water depending on the sunlight exposure falling on the solar module.

p

- Direct sunlight is required for the pump to function.

- The pump system is extremely easy to install. No tool is required to install it. The

system requires full sunlight exposure on the solar module for the pump to start.

- The pump should not be used to pump drinking water.

- The device does not have any On and Off switch. The pump can start pumping

water as soon as it is connected to the solar module (appropriate sunlight is a pre­condition).

- The output can be altered by attaching a regulator to the pump.

- The size of the rising pipe can be reduced to avoid a possible disturbing gurgling.

- To stop the pump safely, you must either disconnect the cable connection bet-

ween the solar module and the pump.

4. Installation and start-up

The pump system consists of the following components:

1 piece solar module with earth spike, 1 piece submersible pump in plastic housing
with 5 m connecting cable, 4 rising pipes and 4 water nozzles.

1. Unwind the connecting cable of the pump fully.

2. Insert the rising pipes in the pump and then set one of the desired sprinklers on

the rising pipe.

3. Place the pump in the pool on a few stones. Avoid a location that is directly on the

pond floor, as far too much dirt is sucked in through the pump here and it gets pol­luted very fast.

4. Now insert the plug of the pump into the socket of the solar module and screw the

cap tightly.
Place the solar module in a sunny, shade-free place facing the south.

5. Should the pump performance be too strong/heavy, you can reduce the amount

of water being sent to the pump. Simply turn the regulator located on the front side
of the pump clockwise (Illustration 1 and 2). Please do not use force when setting
the amount of water being sent to the pump. The adjustment range consists of
45°.

5. Care and maintenance

o maintain efficiency, the pump and its components must be washed with warm

T

ater, depending on the level of water pollution.

w

ipe the solar module clean with a soft, light, slightly wet cloth occasionally.

W

ote: Before starting work on the pump, disconnect the plug of the pump from the

N

socket of the solar module.

Cleaning pump:

o ensure the performance of the pump, the pump must be washed out with warm

T

ater from time to time, depending on the rate of water contamination. For this, open

w

he filter encasement:

t

ote: Please do not use unnecessary force to assemble or disassemble the pump.

N

he parts are very delicate and can easily be broken.

T

. Pull up the pumpʼs connector.

1

. Carefully pull the front lid of the pump off, pulling like a sled forwards (Illustration 1).

2

3. Turn the front lid of the pump app. 45° counterclockwise (Illustrations 2 and 3) and
carefully pull the lid forwards (Illustration 4). Please take care in observing the

lastic starter switch.

p

4. Pull the impeller wheel carefully from the pump with the starter switch
(Illustration 5).

5. Now clean all of the parts carefully with warm water.

6. Then place the starter with the impeller wheel carefully into the hole of the front
lid (Illustration 6).

7. Now carefully slide the lid back axle into the pump. Make sure the lid is on cor­rectly and that the opening is completely sealed by it.

8. Now turn the front lid again back into the initial position.

9. Now push the lower part of the pump completely together onto the pump encase­ment.

The pump is once again ready for operation.
