Assembly and installation
Screw T distributor to the connection socket, screw nozzle tube to the T distributor. Screw nozzle
mounting and the desired water feature nozzle to the nozzle tube. It is possible to connect a hose to
the lateral outlet at the T distributor by means of the reduction element and the stepped hose
connection. Place the unit in the pond horizontally on firm, sludge-free ground and ensure that it is
completely covered with water (at a maximum of 1,3 m below the water level).
Start-up
Attention! Never operate the unit without water flowing through!
The unit switches on automatically when connection to power is established. Align the nozzle tube.
The water feature height and the water flow can be adjusted with a regulator at the lateral outlet at the
T distributor. The power supply must be disconnected to switch off the unit.
Cleaning
Attention! Always disconnect the power supply prior to starting cleaning and maintenance
work!
Unscrew the nozzle tube including T distributor and connection socket. Open strainer casing and
remove pump. Unscrew pump lid and remove impeller. Clean all components using clear water and a
brush. After cleaning the pump, reassemble in the reverse order. Route connection cable such that it
cannot be pinched.
Storage/Over-wintering
Remove the unit at temperatures below zero degrees centigrade. Thoroughly clean the unit, check for
damage and store immersed in water in a frost-free environment. Do not immerse the plug!
