INSTALLATION
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
– This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a
malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of
least resistance for electric current. The appliance is equipped with a cord having an appliance-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate
outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING
- Improper connection of the appliance-grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or
service representative if you are in doubt whether the appliance is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance: if it will not
fit the outlet; have a proper outlet installed by a qualified technician.
LOCATING YOUR POND PUMP
The pump should be located on a firm and level base in the pond/water feature in a depth
of at least 4”, but no more than 7’2”.
It is advisable to keep the pump off the bottom of the pond to avoid silt entering the pump
causing excessive wear and increasing pre-filter cleaning.
Never run the pump out of water as this may cause irreparable damage.
FOUNTAIN
Make sure there is ample cable from mains supply. Place pump in desired location. Adjust
telescopic riser pipe so fountain head is above surface of the pond. Fountain height can
now be adjusted, see "Adjusting dual control T-piece" diagram. The fountain ball joint can
be used to adjust for uneven pond floors ensuring the fountain display is kept vertical and
within the pond. See "Getting to know your pond pump" fittings for parts and descriptions.
Tip:
Ensure that any fountain, waterfall, filter or feature fitted does not empty water out of
pond/water feature. In windy conditions it may be necessary to shut off or reduce the
height of your fountain display to prevent water loss. Also see the explanatory diagram on
the top face of your pump carton.
