IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

DANGER
1. - To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be
taken since water is employed in the use of pond equipment. To guard
against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
maintenance of this appliance. Disregarding this advice may result in damage
to the pump or personal injury.
2. For each of the following situations, do not attempt repairs yourself;
return the pump to an authorised service facility for service or discard the
pump.
A. If the pump falls in the water DON'T reach for it! Unplug it from the
electrical supply BEFORE retreiving it. Carefully examine the integrity
of the pump; if the motor body is cracked or damaged, DISCARD. If
electrical components in the pump get wet unplug it immediately.
B. Do not operate any pump which malfunctions, has a damaged cord or
plug, or if it has been dropped or damaged in any way. The power cord
of this pump cannot be replaced; if the cord is damaged discard the
pump. Never cut the cord.
C. If the appliance shows any sign of current leakage or if RCD (GFCI -
Ground Fault Current Interruptor) switches off, disconnect the power
supply cord from mains and remove pump from water.
3. Children must be closely supervised at all times near water.
IMPORTANT
4. : Always disconnect the pump when not in use, before
adding or removing parts and before cleaning. Never yank the cord and
never lift the pump by the cable.
5. To avoid injury, do not touch moving parts or hot parts.
6. Do not use the pump for any other purpose than that which is intended
(ie. do not use in swimming pools, bathrooms, etc.). The use of attachments
not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may cause unsafe conditions.
* Do not use this pump in swimming pools or other situations where people
are immersed.
* This pump is suitable for use in water temperatures up to 35
* Do not use this pump with inflammable or drinkable liquids.
7. Do not install or store this pump where it will be exposed to the weather,
freezing conditions or when there is the possibility of below zero
temperatures. Remove and store the pump in a sheltered place. Shelter pump
also from direct sunlight. The materials have high stability to sunlight but
direct rays may over heat the motor and speed up insulator ageing.
WARNING
8. - Risk of electric shock! This pump is supplied with a ground-
ing conductor an groundig-type attachment plug. To reduce risk of elecrtic
shock, be certain that is connected only to a properly grounded, grounding
type receptacle.
Do not remove cord and strain relief. Do not connect conduit to the pump.
To reduce risk of electric shock, use only on portable self-contained fountains
no larger than 5 feet in any dimensions (for U.S.A. only).
Check the installation and earth connections before switching on the pump.
9. It is best not to use extension cords. If an extension cord is required,
ensure connection is water tight and dust proof. The cord must have three
leads (Live - Neutral - Earth). Carefully check that the leads are properly
connected. If in doubt consult a qualified electrician.
10. Do not allow pump to run dry. Pump must be immersed in water
completely.
11. IMPORTANT: Supply through a Residual Current Device (RCD or GFCI-
Ground Fault Current Interrupter) with rated residual operating current not
exceeding 30mA.
12. Read and observe all the important notices in this leaflet.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
Only the faithful observation of these installation, electrical and
maintenance guidelines will ensure the safe and efficient use of this pump.

PUMP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: Always unplug or disconnect all applicances in the pond from
the electricity supply before putting your hands in the water whilst the
50
equipment is being installed, repaired, maintained or handled.
32
The pump should be placed on a flat level surface. The pump foot can be
2
removed and secured to a fixed base, a brick for example would provide a
firm platform and may help to elevate the pump from the pond bottom. To
prevent constant clogging of the pump strainer, install the pump on a elevat-
ed surface so that the pump intake is clear of the pond bottom.
IPX8 Important:
Always use the largest bore hose possible.
Avoid sharp bends in the hose, gentle curves are preferred.
MAINTENANCE
FOUNTAIN JETS
Remove jet head from Riser Pipe. 2-Step, 3-Step and Waterbell Jets can be dis-
assembled. Rinse parts in clean water and reassemble.
PUMP STRAINER
This is not a Pond Filter. The purpose of the foam strainer is to prevent debris
from entering the impeller and will restrict pump output if clogged by pond
waste and debris. To clean the strainer, simply remove the strainer housing
and rinse out strainer in clean water.
If the strainer supplied with the pump is not adequate for your requirements
a Laguna Powerflo Underwater filter (PT500 or PT505) should be fitted (does
not apply to model 250).
Adding the Powerflo filter is simply achieved by connecting the 1
Coupling (supplied) to the pump inlet. Powerflo filters are supplied with a
Universal Fast Coupling. Connect the two couplings with a length of flexible
hose using the largest size hose possible.
IMPELLER
WARNING: These motor units incorporate a ceramic impeller shaft. This
shaft will give reliable, long life. However this shaft is brittle. Please take
extreme care when cleaning. Replacement shafts are available.
To clean the impeller and impeller housing:
1. Remove strainer housing and strainer.
2. Remove impeller cover by releasing the four screws with a crossheaded
screwdriver.
3. Remove impeller.
4. Clean all components in clean water. DO NOT USE DETERGENTS OR OTHER
CHEMICAL CLEANERS.
5. Reassemble impeller assembly and replace strainer assembly.
PUMP CARE
To avoid shortening the life of your Powerjet Pond Pump, please follow this
procedure. Maintenance is simple to carry out and essential.
Once a week - Remove and clean strainer (depending on pool conditions).
Once a month - Remove and clean impeller assembly checking for build up of
limescale which can seriously affect the pump performance. Impeller well

.
should also be checked.
To keep your Powerjet pond pump in good working order always replace
any worn parts.
If you experience any difficulty, contact your local supplier or Customer
Services: See back cover.
IMPORTANT
Never operate pump without strainer assembly in place. If strainer supplied is
not suitable for your use, purchase Laguna Powerflo Underwater Filter
(PT500 or PT505). See page 1
TROUBLE SHOOTING
LOW FLOW FROM PUMP
Check strainer is clean.
Check hose for blockages.
POOR FOUNTAIN DISPLAY
Clean fountain jet.
NO FLOW FROM PUMP
Check power supply is on.
Check fuse (UK market only) and wiring.
Disconnect the pump, remove impeller assembly and clean,
and then reconnect the pump.
ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR PUMPS WITHOUT PLUG ONLY

spur which complies to BS3676, fitted with a 3 Amp fuse. The installation
must conform to the regulations of the Local Electricity Authority which
could include the use of plastic or metal conduit to protect the cable.
A 30 mA Residual Current Device 'RCD' must be fitted to the mains sup-
ply.
