Servicing and maintenance
D/E Remove power supply plug. Remove suction grille (squeeze sides
lightly) and rinse coarse filter under running water.
If water is badly contaminated, clean filter more frequently. If pump is badly
contaminated on suction or pressure side, this will simply lead to noise – time
for a thorough cleaning.
Release pump cover (D) and remove pump parts as per drawing (A).
Clean pump vigorously with set of EHEIM cleaning brushes (order no.
4009570) as shown in fig. E: Clean pump parts under running water and
reassemble in same sequence.

A brief noise when the pump starts up is normal.
There are several alternatives for using the hobby pump; when used out of the
water it is preferable to work through the suction nozzle with a hose. If the
pump is used in the water, it may be operated only through the incorporated
prefilter. For this purpose remove the suction nozzle and cover the suction
aperture with the attached cap.
There are two optional connection variations on the pressure side: the thread-
ed adaptor for assembly of a pressure hose or an adaptor for the ascending
pipe.
B/C The fixing plate can be transposed for universal pump assembly.
Accessory

It is possible to connect a bypass valve (order no. 3052400) between
the adaptor and nozzle head, which allows the regulation of fountain
heigt.
It is possible to connect a hose (order no. 4003940 or 4004940) for
waterfall or ornament etc.
G Cleaning the nozzle head: see drawing.
