that the insert is the correct way round. Close
the top of the cage and secure the clips. Whilst
the insert is in use, you may need to unblock the
Strainer Cage more frequently. Once the fish or
other wildlife have grown to a sufficient size you
can then remove the insert from your pump's cage
and return the strainer size to its maximum 10mm
size.
Using The Flow Control
The flow Control (Fig 1 - H) can vary the amount of
water entering the pump. Alternatively, it can be
used to connect a second inlet to the pump such as a
satellite filter or a skimmer. Do not use the flow control
when the pump is being used amphibiously.
1. Open the cage and remove the end cap (Fig 1 - G).
2. Close the flow control by rotating the outer part
until the arrows are aligned.
3. Firmly screw the flow control to the inlet of the
pump aligning the arrows on the flow control with
the arrow in the centre of the top of the pump
chamber (Fig 13).
4. Locate the pump into the cage. Ensure that the
slots in the outlet adaptor align with the ribs in the
lower cage and that the grip of the flow control is
on the outside of the cage (Fig 14).
5. To use as a flow control, screw the end cap to the
free end of the flow control.
6. Rotate the grip to the desired position. This varies
the opening size on the flow control. The arrow on
the grip aligns with the pointer on the outside of
the top cage.
When the pointed end of the arrow is aligned with
the pointer on the outside of the filter cage, this
indicates minimum flow. When the wide end of
the arrow is aligned with the pointer, this indicates
maximum flow (See fig 14).
7. Locate the cable into its recess (See point 6 under
Submerged Operation), close the cage lid and
secure the clips.
8. This allows you to reduce the flow of water to your
filter and control the waterfall size.
9. To use a second inlet connect a suitable length of
hose to a hosetail which has been cut to a suitable
diameter and screw to the free end of the flow
control in place of the end cap (Fig 15).
10. The other end of the hose can be connected to a
satellite filter (Fig 16) (available as a spare from
Hozelock) or to a skimmer (Fig 17).
11. By rotating the grip of the flow control, the amount
of water coming through the satellite filter or
skimmer can be varied.
Pump Assembly & Installation
- Amphibious Operation
This pump can be used amphibiously (i.e. it can be
used whilst not submerged).
WARNING! Ensure that the unit does not take in air
or run dry otherwise your pimp will be damaged.
WARNING! Always unplug or disconnect all
appliances in the pond from the electricity supply
before putting your hands in the water whilst
equipment is being installed, repaired, maintained
or handled.
NOTE: This pump does not self prime. The suction
hose and pump must be filled with water before
switching on.
1. Open the clips at either end of the strainer cage,
open the cage, and remove all the contents.
2. Unscrew the outlet adaptor from the pump outlet
and locate it into the ribs in the lower cage (Fig 18).
3. Place the pump under the surface of the water
near the side of the pond to allow water to flow
into the pumping chamber (Fig 19).
4. Cut 2 hosetails to the required size (See point 9
under Submerged Operation). Attach a suitable
length hose to each hosetail and secure with
suitable hose clips.
5. Submerge the inlet hose under the surface of the
water ensuring that the complete hose fills. Screw
the hosetail to the inlet of the pump ensuring a
watertight seal using the washer provided (Fig 20).
6. Fix the outlet hose to the pump outlet by screwing
on the hosetail. Ensure a watertight seal using the
washer provided (Fig 21).
7. Check that the pump chamber and hose are full
of water and switch on the pump. The pump can
now be removed from the water to its amphibious
operating location ensuring that the inlet end of
the hose remains submerged.
8. To prevent the pump becoming clogged, connect
the cage to the inlet end of the inlet hose using
another hosetail.
9. When using the pump amphibiously, protect the
pump from direct sunlight. Direct sunlight may
overheat the motor.
10. The ball joint is not designed to be used out of
water.
Maintenance
The Hozelock Cyprio range of Aquaforce pumps have
been designed to allow fast and easy maintenance. To
prolong the life of your pump and keep your pump in
peak condition, you should follow these maintenance
guidelines.
Caution: Always unplug or disconnect ALL appliances
in the pond from the electricity supply before putting
your hands in the water or starting maintenance.
