WARNING: SAFETY & ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
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. THIS IS A POND PUMP. 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 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 electric
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-con-
tained 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 appliances in the pond from the
electrical supply before installing, repairing, maintaining or handling
the equipment in the water.
Caution: To prevent constant clogging of the strainer, install the pump on an
2
elevated surface so that the pump intake is clear of waste, debris and mud at
the bottom of the pond.
Install the pump on an elevated, secure, flat and level surface. The pump base
can be removed and secured to a raised fixed base. A brick, for example, would
provide a firm platform and may help elevate the pump from the pond bed.
Pump Strainer
The pump strainer is not a pond filter. The purpose of the pump strainer is to
prevent debris from entering the impeller.
Caution: Never operate the pump without the strainer material installed in the
pump strainer housing. Failure to use the strainer material will cause the pump
to clog with waste and debris, severely restricting the pump's output as well as
the fountain heads.
If the pump strainer supplied with the pump is not adequate for your require-
ments, a Laguna PowerFlo Underwater Filter (PT-500, PT-505 or PT-1750) should
be fitted. (See page 2.)
To clean the pump strainer housing & strainer material, remove them from the
pump and rinse in clean water.
Important:
- Always use the largest diameter 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
disassembled. Rinse parts in clean water and reassemble.
IMPELLER
CAUTION: The pump motor includes a high quality ceramic shaft that provides
long-lasting, reliable performance when properly maintained. However, extreme
care should be taken when handling the shaft during maintenance. Avoid
dropping or pressing too hard on it to avoid breakage or hairline fractures,
which may cause the shaft to snap while in operation.
To clean the impeller and impeller housing:
1. Remove strainer housing and strainer.
2. Remove impeller cover
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.
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.
