The combination of water and electricity can lead to danger to life and limb, if the unit is incorrectly connected or
misused. Only operate the unit if no persons are in the water! Prior to reaching into the water, always disconnect the
power supply to all units used in the water. Compare the electrical values of the power supply with those on the type
plate on the packaging or on the unit itself. Ensure that the unit is fused for a rated residual current of max. 30 mA via a
residual current-operating system. Only operate the unit when plugged into a correctly fitted socket. Keep the power
plug and all connection points dry! Do not operate or leave the unit in the rain. Protect the connection cable when
burying to avoid damage. Only use cables approved for outside use. Do not carry or pull the unit by the connection
cable! Never operate the unit if the cable or housing are defective! Electrical installations at garden ponds must meet
the international and national regulations valid for installers. Never open the unit housing or its attendant components,
unless this is explicitly mentioned in the operating instructions. Never carry out technical changes to the unit. Only use
original spare parts and accessories for the unit. Only allow authorised customer service outlets to perform repairs.
Never use the unit to vacuum flammable or toxic substances (e.g. benzene, asbestos, asbestos dust, toner for copying
machines) or volatile substances, acids, hot or burning ashes or similar dirt. Never use the unit in the vicinity of explo-
sive fluids or vapours. The unit is not explosion protected. For your own safety, consult a qualified electrician when you
have questions or encounter problems!

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.

Use as a dry vacuum cleaner
Attention! Only use the unit as a dry vacuum cleaner with the enclosed filter bag!
Ensure that the unit stands safely. Switch the unit off with the switch and pull the power plug. Unlock the container
locking system (A1), remove motor housing (A2). Pull the enclosed filter bag (C1) over the suction socket (C2) inside
the container (A3). Refit and lock motor housing. Connect the unit to the power supply and turn it on with the switch.
Select a suitable nozzle. At end of work, switch the unit off at the switch.
