Troubleshooting/Recommendations; Guarantee - TIP SPS 250/6 Instrucciones Para El Manejo

Battery:
If the pump no longer works after approximately 12-18 months, the battery's service life may have expired. Use a standard
Phillips-head screwdriver to open the control housing and replace the battery with a lead gel battery
(6V DC - 4Ah / 12 V DC – 4 Ah ).
Attention: Always ensure that the red cable is only connected to the plus pole and the black cable is only
connected to the minus pole on the battery! Incorrect connection (even for a short time) causes the
control board to be destroyed!
8.1. Maintenance intervals
The time intervals for the required maintenance task (complete cleaning) to a great extent are based on
the level of pond water contamination. Select the time intervals for cleaning accordingly.
If, when performing maintenance tasks, you determine that there are defects or wear, replace the parts in
question
(see ordering spare parts).
8.2. Maintenance in winter
Protect your pump from freezing! If there is danger of freezing, take the pump out of your garden pond.
We recommend charging the batteries fully before shutting down the device for a longer period of time (e.g. over
the winter). For this purpose, the device should be charged for several hours in direct sunlight without switching
on the pump or the lighting. This charging procedure should be repeated at least every 3 months while the device
is shut down
Completely clean the pump as specified in the instructions.
Make sure that the device is switched off during the winter and that the pump is disconnected from the control
housing, so the battery is not discharged.
During the winter, store the device in a heated room in order to slow down the battery's self-discharging process.

9. Troubleshooting/recommendations

Fault
No flow even though the solar
collector is in full sunlight
Insufficient flow rate
Pump is running but no water is
coming out of the fountain head
