Warnings And Cautions; Care And Maintenance - Beckett FG529LK Instrucciones

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

WARNING:
•
To reduce risk of electric shock, connect only to a properly grounded outlet.
•
To reduce risk of electric shock, inspect cord for damage before installation and/or maintenance. Replace entire pump/cord
assembly if damage is found.
•
Do not exceed voltage shown on pump.
CAUTION:
•
Use proper power source as indicated on the pump label. Keep the cord away from high temperature or heat source.
•
Keep any fountain that is used with the pump out of the reach of children.
•
If fountain is in a freeze-area, remove water from base and statuette. Also, remove and store the statuette and pump indoors
during freezing conditions.
•
Always disconnect from electrical outlet before handling the pump.
•
Do not let pump run dry.
•
Do not lift the pump by its power cord.
•
Do not pump heated liquids.
•
Operate in fresh water only.
•
Pump must be completely submerged for proper operation and cooling.
PERFORMANCE
•
A clogged or dirty intake screen will greatly reduce performance. If the pump is used on a dirty surface, raise it slightly to
reduce the amount of debris contacting the intake. If less flow is desired, adjust the flow control lever on the side of the pump
or restrict the discharge flow.
•
Do not let the pump run when not submerged in water. Doing so may damage the pump. Always submerge the pump first, and
then plug it into an electrical outlet.
•
At first, the pump might not pump water because there is air in the pump and tube. Pull the cord out of the electrical outlet
several times, and it will work well at once.
•
The pump is to be supplied through a Residual Current Device (RCD) with a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30
milli-Ampere.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

•
Regular cleaning of the pump may be necessary depending upon the environment in which it is operated. Clean the pump
when it is visibly soiled or when a drop in performance is detected.
•
Before cleaning, always disconnect the pump from the power source.
•
Remove all parts from the pump and clean in warm, soapy water.
•
Disassemble the pump housing and remove the impeller housing to expose the impeller assembly. Remove the impeller
assembly by gently pulling on the impeller blades. Use a soft cloth or brush to clean the impeller assembly and the inside of
the impeller housing
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the pump fails to operate:
•
Check to make sure the power cord is plugged in, the pump is getting power and the pump is fully submerged.
•
Check the pump outlet and any tubing, fountains, spitters etc. for kinks or obstructions.
•
Remove the inlet screen and/or pump cover, and impeller housing to expose the impeller. Turn the impeller to ensure that it is
not broken or jammed.
If the performance of the pump is not satisfactory or the pump does not flow evenly:
•
Check to make sure the pump is completely submerged in water.
•
Check to make sure the impeller and the housing are clean.
•
Adjust flow control.
