velda Green Line 5000, User Instructions

!

Green Line pond pumps are provided with 10 m of grounded electrical safety cable 
with  flex  and  plug.  Connection  to  a  grounded  receptacle  with  earth  leakage       
circuit breaker of 30 mA is necessary.

!

Only use good quality grounded extension leads, flexes, receptacles and the like.

!

The flex is watertight. It has an anchored pump housing and may not be replaced 
when damaged. If any damage should occur to the flex, the pump may no longer be 
used.

!

When carrying out activities in or near the water, all devices that are immersed or 
in touch with the pond should be de-energized.

!

Do not displace the pump by lifting it with the help of the flex. Fix an additional 
wire to the pump housing to lift the pump out of the water.

!

Green Line pond pumps are exclusively made to displace water. This means that 
transport of any different liquids explicitly excluded.

!

The use of these pumps in swimming pools is not allowed.

!

The pump housing should be installed at least 10 cm and at most 2 m below 
water level.

l

Never use the pump in the pond without preliminary filter scale.

l

Please take care that the accessories you are using do not hamper the water flow.

!

The pump should be used exclusively in the water (wet installation).

l

Prevent the pump from running dry. The motor can be damaged.

!

The temperature of the water to be displaced may be maximum 35 °C.

!

When the pump is completely installed, it can be connected to the power supply.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Mount the discharge hose socket, optional with L-connector, including sealing rings 
to the outflow of the pump. Connect the pond hose to it for a filter, waterfall or stream. 
Use  the  largest  possible  hose  diameter  in  order  to  exploit  the  water  capacity 
completely. Saw off the unused diameter(s) of the hose socket. Take care of proper 
sealing and use hose clamps, if necessary. Place the pump in the pond, avoiding places 
with sludge. Use an elevation of stones or a stand and place the pump as level as 
possible. When the pump has been installed in the pond, you can put in the plug to 
activate the motor.

Attention

Inspect the flex and the electric connections prior to use for any damage. Take care 
that the plug and the receptacle are dry. For safety reasons any repairs to the flex and 
the pump motor may only be carried out by Velda (see guarantee).

MAINTENANCE

The impeller of the Green Line pond pump can handle dirt particles of up to 6 mm, 
keeping cleaning and maintenance to a minimum. Regularly check the preliminary 
filter scale on accumulated dirt. Clean the preliminary filter scale and the impeller 
when the yield and the head of water will decrease considerably. When doing this,     
use a soft brush and ample clean water. See 

Impeller

 for (de-)mounting of the impeller. 

The  built-in  security  device  will  switch  the  motor  off  in  case  of  overheating.
Having  cooled  down  for  some  time,  the  motor  will  start  again.  Please  remember
