• For your own safety, disconnect from the power supply before any maintenance of any equipment is attempted on the tank or water body.
• Be sure the equipment is submerged completely in the water. The depth should not be greater than 2m.
• Do not operate the pump if the appliance or any components of the system, such as the power cable, have been damaged.
• Always use a properly grounded power supply that is connected to an RCD with a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30mA. As per AS/NZS 3350.2.41:1997
• The drip loop method should be used to prevent water from traveling down the cable and onto the plug or power supply. If the plug does get wet, do not unplug the cable. Disconnect the circuit breaker that supplies power to the power supply point. Then unplug and examine the plug and power supply point for presence of water. If the power point has become wet, you should consult an electrician before using the power point again.
• Always unplug the pump from the power supply when not in use or before performing any maintenance on the pump or in the pond. Never pull the cable to disconnect the plug from the power supply. Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
• Always unplug the appliance from the power supply when not in use or before performing any maintenance.
• If required, have a qualified electrician install a weatherproof power supply point near to the pond or water-feature (within the cable length of the appliance).
• Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to extreme hot or cold temperatures. Do not use in water above 35°C.
• Do not cut the cable as this will result in voiding your warranty.
• Care should be taken to arrange the power cable so that it cannot be accidentally tripped over or pulled.
• Do not attempt to repair the electrical appliance yourself. Return to an authorized service centre or place of purchase if a fault occurs, (regular maintenance is not considered repair and is required by user).

PRODUCT SPECIFIC SAFEGUARDS

• Do not look at an unshielded UV-C globe. Ultra Violet light is harmful to your eyes and may cause blindness. Do not operate UV Globe out of the housing.
• As the UV Clarifier Globe is made of quartz glass, please avoid sudden jolts, as this will break the quartz.
• In cold temperatures where frost or freezing may occur, please cease to use the unit. Remove from the environment.
  Frozen water will crack the Quartz glass sleeve.

INSTALLATION

Once a fountain nozzle has been selected, assemble the fountain kit as per the attached diagram. Screw the T-piece onto the pump outlet and adjust the telescopic riser to the desired height and align vertically. On the Dual-control flow adjuster, on the T-piece, you can vary the flow between the fountain head and the waterfall outlet. Close the second outlet of the T-piece if this is not required for an optional waterfall.
Position the device in the pond horizontally, on a solid base, free from sludge, in such a way that it is fully covered with water and the fountain kit protruding out of the water.
Insert the two pin Low Voltage plug into the Low Voltage side of the transformer and secure with the locking nut. Insert the mains power supply plug into the power outlet.
Note: Use the power supply switch for turning the unit on and off.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

Begin by ensuring that the mains power supply is disconnected before attempting any maintenance or adjustment of the unit. Remove the unit from the water. The filters and sponges in this unit will clog over time. Please clean regularly (at least once a month) to ensure strong water flow. Failure to maintain the unit will result in a burnt out motor and other damage.

• Take off the fountain set first, and then open the 4 clips on the side of the filter cover.
• Take out the filter sponge and filter media boxes and clean. It is recommended that this is done in a bucket of pond water to ensure the good bacteria are not killed by the Chlorine in tap water. Check for wear and tear of the sponges. Replace if necessary.
• Maintain the filter sponge regularly according to how quickly the sponge gets clogged up. When the flow starts to get reduced, check and clean if necessary.
• You can help boost the biological function of your filter with a bacterial additive, available from your local stockist.
• The UV lamp should be replaced regularly at the end of its design life. Usually this around 11 months of use. To take out the UV clarifier globe, open the safety catch on the side and turn the UV Clarifier casing in anti-clockwise direction to the stop position. Then slide out the 11W LV quartz glass globe. Now you can change your UV lamp.
• Dirt on the Quartz sleeve will influence the efficiencies of the equipment. Please remove and clean regularly.
• To clean the quartz glass sleeve, take the quartz sleeve out by unfastening the locking nut (No. 4 Fig. 3). Then you can take out the quartz glass sleeve and clean.
• To maintain the impeller of the pump, turn the Impellor cover in an anti-clockwise direction to the stop position, and then you can separate the impeller cover and pump body. Take out the impeller, clean it with clean water and suitable brush. Inspect for signs for ware. Replace if necessary.
• Once the cleaning and inspection process is completed, reassemble in the reverse manner. The pump suction elbow is pushed firmly onto the Impellor cover inlet of the pump. Pay attention to the UV clarifier casing when inserting it back together. The inspection hole needs to be positioned towards the top, you can separate the impeller cover and pump body. Take out the Impellor, clean it with clean water and suitable brush. Inspect for signs for wear. Replace if necessary.
