Correct electrical installation

 Electrical installations must meet the national regulations and may only be carried out by a qualified electrician.
 A person is regarded as a qualified electrician, if, due to his/her vocational education, knowledge and experience, he
or she is capable of and authorised to judge and carry out the work commissioned to him/her. This also includes the
recognition of possible hazards and the adherence to the pertinent regional and national standards, rules and regu-
lations.
 For your own safety, please consult a qualified electrician.
 The unit may only be connected when the electrical data of the unit and the power supply coincide. The unit data is
to be found on the unit type plate or on the packaging, or in this manual.
 Ensure that the unit is fused for a rated fault current of max. 30 mA by means of a fault current protection device.
 Extension cables and power distributors (e. g. outlet strips) must be suitable for outdoor use.
 Minimum safety distance between the unit and the water: 2 m.
 Protect the plug connections from moisture.
 Only plug the unit into a correctly fitted socket.

Safe operation

 Never operate the unit if either the electrical cables or the housing are defective!
 Do not carry or pull the unit by its electrical cable.
 Route cords/hoses/lines in a way that they are protected against damage, and ensure that they do not present a
tripping obstacle.
 Only open the unit housing or its attendant components, when this is explicitly required in the operating instructions.
 Only execute work on the unit that is described in this manual. If problems cannot be overcome, please contact an
authorised customer service point or, when in doubt, the manufacturer.
 Only use original spare parts and accessories for the unit.
 Never carry out technical modifications to the unit.
 The power connection cables cannot be replaced. When the cable is damaged, the unit or the component needs to
be disposed of.
 Only operate the unit if no persons are in the water!
 The unit, the connections and plugs are not water-proof and must not be routed or installed in water.
 Keep the socket and power plug dry.
Installation
How to proceed:
 A
PfG GmbH recommends hoses suitable for a minimum pressure of 1 bar.
 Shorten stepped hose adapters such that the connection opening coincide with the hose diameter. This helps to
avoid pressure loss.
 Push the union nuts over the stepped hose adapters, push or turn on the stepped hose adapter, and secure with the
hose clips.
 Insert the flat sealing ring or the O ring into the union nut for the black hose adapter and screw onto the pressure
filter inlet.
Installation
Attention! Dangerous electrical voltage.
Possible consequences: Death or severe injury.

Protective measures:

 Only operate the unit with the protection hood fitted.
 Ensure that the unit is installed in a flood protected position at a distance of at least 2 m from the water.
Install the unit so that it is not exposed to direct sun radiation (max. 40 ºC).
How to proceed:
 B
 Place the pressure filter in a flood protected position at a distance from the pond edge of at least 2m on firm and
level ground. As an alternative, the filter can also be partly buried up to approx. 5 cm below the closing clamps.
 The height difference between the filter lid and the free outlet point may be max. 2 m.
 Ensure unrestricted access to the cover to be able to carry out work on the unit.
