Install only to covered Class A GFCI receptacle that has a weatherproof enclosure with the attachment plug cap inserted or removed.
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.
MAINTENANCE & CLEANING WARNING - Failure to carry out routine maintenance will result in a shorter pump life and may invalidate the guarantee. CLEANING The use of a descaler product will give improved performance and pump life by removing built-up lime scale and waste. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE Carry out routine maintenance when pump flow is visibly reduced.

MAINTENANCE & CLEANING STEP 2 Remove yellow impellor cover by turning anti-clockwise to release lock. Then pull firmly away from pump motor. STEP 3 Remove impellor from the pump motor. Wash parts with fresh water carefully. Note that the impellor head is coloured yellow; this is to help identify a moving and potential dangerous part.

MAINTENANCE & CLEANING ANNUAL MAINTENANCE Once a year you should service your pump by using a descaler product found in most retail outlets, this may need to be done more frequently in hard water areas. Use before dismantling for easier and cleaner handling and always follow the instructions carefully. Dismantle the pump and examine all parts for wear or damage, replacing any parts that show obvious wear and/or damage.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM Low flow from the pump Ensure that the feature pump is fully submersed and not sucking air due to lack of water in your feature. Follow routine maintenance. Ensure pipe work is not blocked, leaking or is laid so that it gets crushed or kinked. Keep the height that water is to be pumped from the water surface (known as head) to a minimum.
