INTRODUCTION
The pump is electrically operated and is designed to pump solid particles up to 6mm in diameter with minimal pre- strainer maintenance.
These types of pumps are particularly suitable for pumping water to external filters or for use in high flow waterfalls or watercourse applications where low maintenance is important. The pump does not use oil or grease for lubrication and can be used safely in ponds containing sh or plants. The motor consists of a sealed stator and water- cooled rotor. All electrical components are isolated from the water.
ATTENTION
AUTOMATIC CUT-OUT
To help ensure your pumps long life and to prevent damage, it is fitted with automatic thermal overload protection. This switches off the pump if it overheats. If this occurs, switch off the power at the mains supply to the pump. Check for the cause. Usually it will be debris
blocking the inlets of the pump or obstructing the impeller. Remove the obstruction and wait for the pump to cool down. Then switch on the pump again.
NOTE (AQUAFORCE 2500 & 4000): YOU MUST SWITCH OFF THE MAINS SUPPLY BEFORE THE PUMP WILL RESET.
