OPERATION
Please read the following instructions very carefully before you start.
This pump is suitable for ponds, aquariums, fountains and water features. Jebao pumps are safe to
function both indoors and outdoors, and must be fully submersed at all times.
INSTALLATION
•
The pump must always be fully submersed, and must never run dry.
•
Place the pump on a stable surface that is free of sludge, sand and other debris.
•
The pump is best placed in an area of the pond where the water will get maximum circulation
(inlet and outlet at opposite ends).
•
The electricity supply cord to the pump should extend in a loop below the 13-amp plug socket;
this is to prevent water drops from making contact with the plug or electricity supply outlet.
•
If a low voltage pump is being used the transformer must be kept in a dry area as it is not
waterproof.
•
It is recommend that a residual current device (RCD) with a rated residual operating current not
exceeding 30mA be installed for the Pondline pump and any other electrical products used in or
around the pond.
MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
Carry out routine maintenance regularly.
The following maintenance and cleaning will improve the pumps performance and its life.
Pumps do not require lubrication or special maintenance. The pump may stop working if the water
flow into the pump is reduced, this may be caused by grit or algae clogging the pump or debris lodged
in between the impellor and wall of the pump.
•
Turn off the power supply and move the pump to a dry location (do not use the power cable to lift
the pump).
•
Remove the front cage from the pump.
•
The impeller is situated in the pump housing and can be removed by turning the cover anti-
clockwise to release.
•
Pull the impeller assembly away from the pump body.
•
When disassembling the impeller please ensure that you do not lose the small plastic washers
positioned at the top and bottom of the impeller. These ensure the quiet and efficient operation
of the pump.
•
Check the “O” Ring of the pump body.
•
Wash all parts with fresh water carefully to remove all accumulated debris.
•
Place the impeller and shaft back in the pump and place the cover on the front.
•
Put the pump back in the water making sure the pump is fully submersed.
If the pump fails to operate, check the following:
•
Check the power socket and try another socket to ensure the pump is getting electrical power.
NOTE: Always disconnect from electrical socket before handling the pump.
•
Check the pump outlet and hose for kinks and obstructions. Algae may block them, flush out any
blockages with the garden hose.
•
Check the inlet to ensure it is not clogged with debris.
•
Remove the pump inlet to access the impellor, remove the impellor to ensure it is not broken or
jammed.
•
Monthly maintenance will prolong your pumps life span.
NOTE: Ensure that the electrical cord loops below the electrical outlet to form a ‘Drip Loop’. This will
prevent water from running down the cord into the electrical socket.
LOW VOLTAGE PUMPS
Low voltage pumps work under rated voltage and must be connected to the transformer provided.
Always keep the transformer away from the pond in case of damage by water or humidity.
The
transformer is not waterproof therefore must be kept in a dry area.
It is recommended that a
residual current device (RCD) with a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30mA be used in
conjunction with the pump.
SAFETY WARNINGS
•
Make sure that the voltage and frequency of power supply comply with the specifications on the
product.
•
Never pull the pump or remove the pump by pulling the cord.
•
Never remove the plug or shorten the cord (this may void the warranty)
•
Keep the plug and socket dry, if low voltage make sure that the transformer is also kept in a dry
place.
•
The pump is not suitable for use in swimming pools or other situations where humans may make
bodily contact with the water.
•
Only use the Pondline pump in fresh water, do not use for flammable liquids or above 35°C.
•
The electrical cable cannot be replaced. If the cord is damaged the appliance should be
discarded.
•
The electrical supply must be installed by a registered electrician.
•
Always turn the unit off before cleaning or removing the pump for maintenance.
•
The pump is only suitable with a FI-switch 30mA and has to be connected to a regular safety plug
socket.
•
The transformer is not waterproof and must be kept in a dry area.
•
Never let the pump run dry.
•
Do not allow the pump to freeze in the winter.
