Care And Maintenance - Garden Treasures 07-168 Mode D'emploi

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

• Periodically clean the filter net to remove dust and dirt.
• A clogged or dirty intake screen will greatly reduce performance. If the pump is used on a dirty
surface, raise it slightly to reduce the amount of debris contacting the intake. If less flow is
desired, adjust the flow control lever on the side of the pump or restrict the discharge flow.
• Do not let the pump run when not submerged in water. Doing so may damage the pump. Always
submerge the pump first and then plug it into an electrical outlet.
• At first, the pump might not pump water because there is air in the pump and tube. Pull the cord
out of the electrical outlet several times to clear the pump and tube of air.
• The pump is to be supplied through a Residual Current Device (RCD) with a rated residual
operating current not exceeding 30 milli-Ampere.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• Regular cleaning of the pump may be necessary depending upon the environment in which it is
operated. Clean the pump when it is visibly soiled or when a drop in performance is detected.
• Before cleaning, always disconnect the pump from the power source.
• Remove all parts from the pump and clean in warm, soapy water.
• Disassemble the pump housing and remove the impeller housing to expose the impeller
assembly.
Remove the impeller assembly by gently pulling on the impeller blades. Use a soft cloth or brush
to clean the impeller assembly and the inside of the impeller housing.
IF THE PUMP FAILS TO OPERATE:
• Check to make sure the power cord is plugged in, the pump is getting power and the pump is
fully submerged.
• Check the pump outlet and any tubing, fountains, spitters, etc., for kinks or obstructions.
• Remove the inlet screen and/or pump cover and impeller housing to expose the impeller. Turn
the impeller to ensure that it is not broken or jammed.
IF THE PERFORMANCE OF THE PUMP IS NOT SATISFACTORY OR THE PUMP DOES NOT
FLOW EVENLY:
• Check to make sure the pump is completely submerged in water.
• Check to make sure the impeller and the housing are clean.
• Adjust flow control.
