Caution: The pump is delivered with a strong vacuum sucker that holds the pump safely. However,
to avoid any risk, we recommend not to mount the pump directly above fragile animals or
decoration to avoid any damage in case the pump drops down
Safety advices
The pump is constructed for indoor aquarium use only. Before working on
the aquarium or pump, the power plug must be disconnected from the mains.
The connection cable and the power plug must not be changed. If the power cable is
damaged, the pump must be scrapped.
6. Maintenance/Cleaning
The pump is designed to have a low maintenance requirement and under normal conditions will be
very reliable. However, the filter housing and all rotating parts must be cleaned regularly. For
cleaning, first the filter basket has to be removed. The basket has to be hold on both marks and
then to be removed. If the basket is hold at other points (e. g. at the front), it cannot be removed.
Take care not to tilt it. The shaft may break. Now, the entire impeller group can be pulled out. It
can be cleaned under running water and then be inserted again.
7. Failures
If the pump fails to operate, check the power connection. If no fault is found, the pump may be
blocked and must be cleaned – see maintenance / cleaning above. If the pump is noisy, the filter
basket and propeller have to be cleaned. If the magnet or the impeller is damaged, both can be
changed. When the pump is taken into operation the first time, it has to run for approx. 24 hours.
During this time, noise can occur that ceases later on.
