AQUA FORTE EcoMax Instructions

______________________________ English__________________________________
Read these instructions carefully before starting to install this equipment.

Safety

1. Always pull the plug out of the mains socket when carrying out repair or maintenance work.
2. Never operate the pump while there are people in the water.
3. The pump uses blades to propel the water, and these blades revolve at a high speed. Ensure that you keep your fingers or any other
parts of the body away from the revolving blades.
4. Do not use the unit if it or its component parts are damaged.
5. Ensure that the plug is always dry.
6. As a matter of principle, only used standardised shockproof sockets (Schuko, Home Office sockets).
7. To guarantee safety, always use an earth leakage current trip (FI device) with a response threshold of less than 30 mA.
8. If no suitable connection point is available, or if the connection does not fulfil the requirements, please consult a specialist electrical
installation company.
9. Never carry or pull the pump by the cable.
10. The pump is only suitable for water up to 35°C.

Purpose of use

This pump is only suited for the use in private ponds and not for commercial purposes. Only use the pump for this specific purpose. The
pump is not suited for heavily polluted water, or water with heavy abrasive parts (like sludge).

Installation

The pump is suited for both wet and dry applications (HF pump models are not suited for dry application). In a dry setup the pump must be
under water level as it is not self-priming. For dry setup the external strainer house must be removed for the connection of the pipe fittings.
Use without water (dry running) will result in irreparable damage. Under water, the pump must take in as clear as possible water. Never place
the pump in a muddy area or on sandy pond bottoms. Put the pump on a small pedestal (e.g. a stone). Ignoring these instructions can cause
blockage of the strainer house around the pump. Heavily polluted water will cause problems for the rotor to run smooth and the pump
performance will decrease. In a worst case scenario the rotor will totally Block and the pump will burn out. Complete blockage of the pump
strainer house will prevent motor cooling which can cause burn outs.
