6. INSTALLATION
Electrical Installation
This apparatus is fitted with a 13 amp (BS 1363) plug with a 3 amp fuse. With this or any
other type of plug an ASTA 3 amp or 5 amp fuse to BS 1362 must be fitted either in the plug
or adaptor or at the distribution board.
Replacement of Plug
IMPORTANT:
This apparatus is double insulated and does not have a third
(earth) wire. The wires on the lead should therefore be connected as follows:
The blue lead should be connected to the neutral terminal on your plug. This terminal may
be marked with an N or coloured black or blue. The brown lead should be connected to the
live terminal on your plug. This terminal may be marked with an L or coloured brown or
red. Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal. If in doubt consult a qualified
electrician.
The electric cable is permanently connected and sealed in the motor body. If the supply
cable is damaged the pump must not be used.
Do not use the supply cable to lift the pump as this may cause damage.
WARNING - THIS PUMP MUST BE EARTHED
A Residual Current Device (RCD), also known as the Residual Current Circuit
Breaker (RCCB), with a tripping current not exceeding 30mA must be installed
in the supply circuit.
A means of disconnection from the supply having a contact separation of at least 3mm
in all poles must be incorporated in the fixed wiring.
For permanent installations to the mains supply, it is necessary to conform to the regulations
of the local electricity authority and this would include the use of a metal or plastic conduit
to protect the cable.
Attention has been drawn to the fact that special rules may exist concerning the installation
of your pond pump (i.e. local building regulations).
These pumps must not be used in swimming pools, or areas where people are in contact
with the water.
Always disconnect the mains electricity supply whilst the equipment is being installed,
repaired, maintained or handled. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt about wiring this
product to the mains supply.
WARNING:
The Koi Air pump is provided with a thermal cut out that
temporarily switches off the pump in case of overheating and the pump may
automatically restart.
