G Operating Instructions
Solar pump system 10 W
Item no. 1007585
Intended Use
The product comprises of a solar module and a pump operated with it. At sufficient
solar irradiation on the solar module, enough power is generated to operate the pump.
Since there is no rechargeable battery, the pump runs only when there is enough
sunlight during the day.
Several water fountains are possible due to several enclosed nozzle attachments.
Any use other than that described above is not permitted. The safety and assembly
notes in these operating instructions must be observed!

Safety Information
T he guarantee/warranty will expire if damage is incurred resulting from
non-compliance with the operating instructions! We do not assume any
liability for consequential damage!
W e do not assume any liability for property damage and personal injury
caused by improper use or non-compliance with the safety instructions! In
such cases the guarantee/warranty will expire!
• For safety and approval reasons (CE), unauthorised conversion and/or
modification of the device are not permitted.
• This product is not a toy and must be kept out of the reach of children!
• The product must not be used to transport potable water or other foods.
• The pump is not protected against running dry. It must be operated in wa-
ter at all times. Otherwise, it will be destroyed.
• Place the solar module so that you cannot trip over it. This also applies
when placing the cable between the solar module and the pump.
• Do not step on the cable. Do not run over it with vehicles. Place the cable
so that it cannot be damaged by sharp edges.
• Do not use the product anymore if it has any damage, but dispose of it
environmentally compatibly.
• Do not leave packaging material unattended. It may become a dangerous
toy for children.
Installation and Commissioning
If there is a protective foil for transport on the solar module, remove it now.
• Unroll the connection cable of the pump.
• Push the extension tubes onto the pump and then put one of the sprinkler attach-
ments on the top end of the extension tube.
• Place the pump vertically, e.g. in a garden pond.
Never put the pump directly into the bottom of the pond, but, e.g., on a few stones.
Otherwise, a lot of sludge and dirt will get into the pump. This clogs the filter and
the sprinkler attachment within seconds and thus prevents it from working.
• Connect the plug at the end of the pump cable to the connection at the back of the
solar module and screw on the sealing ring.
• The surface of the solar module should be vertically aligned with the sun for best
output power.
Use, e.g., the enclosed standing base that can be attached to the back of the solar
module. Push the standing base, e.g. into the grass or a flower bed. Never hammer
it into the ground with a tool (e.g. a hammer), though. This would destroy it. Loss of
warranty/guarantee!
Place the solar module so that it is located in a sunny, not shadowed location.
• Since there is no supporting battery, the pump output and thus the water volume
transported through the sprinkler attachment is directly according to the intensity of
the solar irradiation on the solar module.
Therefore, it will not function when it is very cloudy, in the dusk or at dawn or night.
• The pump automatically works at sufficient solar irradiation. It cannot be switched
on/off.
To deactivate the pump temporarily, disconnect the connection cable from the solar
module. You can also cover the solar module with a light-impermeable cover.
• The pump is not protected against running dry. Therefore, always ensure that the
pump is under water.
• If the water's splashing is annoying, use a different sprinkler attachment or shorten
the riser.
Cleaning
a) Pump
Depending on water contamination (algae, suspended particles, etc.), the pump and
sprinkler inserts must be cleaned regularly.
Proceed as follows:
1. First disconnect the plug connections between the pump and solar module to avo-
id inadvertent start-up.
2. Pull the front housing part off forwards;
see arrow in the figure on the right. The
filter can then be taken out.
3. Pull the bottom off forward like a carriage.
4. Turn the front pump cover to the left by
about 45°.
5. Take off the pump cover and pull the impel-
ler out of the pump with its bearing shaft.
6. Take off the seal.
7. Remove a rubber stopper from the bearing
shaft and pull it out of the impeller.
8. Clean all parts carefully now. Flush them
under clear water.
9. Now reinstall all parts in reverse order.
Observe that the bearing shaft in the pump
and in the front pump cover is placed cor-
rectly. Otherwise, the pump cover cannot
be closed.
Do not apply any force when installing the device. Else the pump may be
damaged.
