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.
• Ensure that the power connection cable cross section is not smaller than that of the rubber sheath with the identifi-
cation H05RN-F. Extension cables must meet DIN VDE 0620.
• 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.
• Only operate the unit if no persons are in the water!
• Keep the socket and power plug dry.
Installation
Place the unit at a height meeting the water level at a minimum distance of 7 ft. from the pond. Ensure that the unit
stands safely. Unlock the container locking system (A1), remove motor housing (A2). Remove all loose parts from the
collection container (A3). Refit and lock motor housing (A2). Push the hose end into the opening (A4) of the collection
container. Fit the extension tubes. Fit one of the supplied nozzles or set the adjustable bottom nozzle to the situation
your pond presents:
− Nozzle fully open (3/8 in.): Pond foil, no gravel on the bottom, thick layer of sludge
− Nozzle closed (1/16 in.): Pond film, gravel on the bottom, thick layer of sludge
Push the open end of the drain hose into the rear drain opening (A5) of the collection container. If possible, lay the
drain hose on the bottom such to allow gravity draining of the sludge water during automatic emptying. If necessary,
affix the sludge collection bag to the end of the drain hose.
Use as sludge remover
Attention! Never operate the unit without foam filter!
Connect the unit to the power supply and turn it on with the switch (A6). Lead the bottom nozzle to the pond bottom.
Remove the sludge by moving the nozzle slowly and uniformly. For optimum sludge removal from pond trays and to
remove thin layers of sludge, turn the bottom nozzle through 180°. A float switch (B1) switches off the suction operation
when the container has reached its maximum filling level. The stop valve at the drain opening can now open to drain
the sludge water out of the container. The suction operation restarts automatically after 25 seconds. Switch the unit off
with switch (A6) when no longer in use.
