V. OPERATION
5.1- Intended use
- Fountain pumps are submersible pumps intended for domestic use.
- They should be used only for decoration in fountains, ponds ...
- The pump is fully submersible the immersion depth must not exceed 3m (refer to the technical
characteristics table).
- This pump is designed to suck up clear water with particles in suspension that are less than 3mm in
diameter.
- The pump should not be used for sucking up liquids or materials that are corrosive, combustible or
explosive; fats, oils, waste water from toilet, food liquids...
- Any other use, other than that described in the instructions, is likely to damage the pump and to put
the user in serious danger.
- The temperature of liquids sucked up should not exceed 35°C.
5.2- Advise for users
1. The pump must be positioned horizontally: make sure it is stable during operation.
The suction holes should never be blocked.
It is therefore preferable that the pump is not placed directly on the bottom of the fountain or pond to
avoid excessive damage caused by possible deposits.
For ex. use a brick to support the pump.
Warning! Never dry run the pump.
2. If discharge stops although the pump continues to function, switch it off immediately.
Unplug the pump from the mains and check to see what is causing the problem.
Never attempt to remove the turbine when the pump is still connected to the power supply.
3. The pump is fitted with a motor protected by a thermal safety with auto reset. In the
event of overheating, the motor stops automatically. As soon as the temperature returns to
normal, the motor restarts.
Never place hands anywhere near the turbine during this phase.
If remedial action is necessary, always unplug the pump from the power supply first.
