Using
Maintenance and Cleaning the Pump
For optimum performance of the pump and depending on the water contamina-
tion, you have to wash the pump occasionally with warm water.
1. Disconnect the pump from the solar module.
2. Open the filter cover (13) by levering it from the pump. Use a screwdriver or
similar and carefully open the cover. Please do not use force while disassem-
bling or assembling the pump. The parts are very fragile and can break easily.
3. Use pliers or similar to pull out the cover of the impeller (12) and then pull out
the magnetic impeller (11). Take off both foam filters (10) from the sides and
wash thoroughly. Clean all parts thoroughly and assemble the pump in reverse
order. Now the pump is ready for use again.
4. From time to time, wipe the solar module with a cloth.
Cleaning the Cascade Fountain
When cleaning the cascade fountain wear gloves that are tearproof. Due to the
manufacturing process there might be some sharp and spiky spots inside the
fountain.
Make sure not to hurt yourself!
Storing
When not using the solar cascade fountain for long time (holidays, during winter
time), remove the batteries from the battery compartment.
1. Unscrew the screws from the battery compartment.
2. Store rechargeable batteries in a dry place out of reach of children and
persons in need of supervision. Re-tighten the battery compartment with the
screws in order to make sure no parts can get lost. It is also advisable to store
the remote control together with the solar cascade fountain.
3. When re-inserting the batteries into the solar cascade fountain for next use,
take care for the correct polarity. The polarity symbols are shown in the battery
compartment. Make sure all screws are properly tightened so the battery
compartment is sealed water tight.
