Installing your

POND MONSTAElectrical Installation

All electrical work must be performed by a qualified techni-cian. Always follow the National Electrical Code (NEC) or the Canadian Electrical Code as well as all local, state and provincial codes. Code questions should be directed to your local electrical inspector. Failure to follow electrical

codes and OSHA safety standards may result in personal injury or equip-ment damage. Failure to follow manufacturer’s installation instructions may result in electrical shock, fire hazard, personal injury or death, damaged equip-ment, provide unsatisfac-tory performance and may void manufacturer’s warranty.

Always connect to a Ground Fault Circuit (GFCI).

Always disconnect the electricity sup-ply before han-dling, maintaining, repairing or in-stalling any pond equipment.

Installing your

POND MONSTAFor permanent installations to the main supply, it is necessary to conform to the regulations of your electric company and electrical ordinances for your area. This would include the use of metal or plastic conduit to protect the cable.

Attention has been drawn to the fact that special rules may exist concern-ing the permanent installation of your Monsta (i.e. local building codes and regulations).

Pond Monsta must not be used in swimming pools or areas where people are in contact with the water.

Always disconnect the main electrical supply while the equipment is being installed, repaired or maintained. Contact a qualified electrician to install and wire this product to the main supply.

Warning - The Monsta pump has a thermal shut off that temporarily switches off the pump in case of over heating and the pump may auto-matically restart.

Never run the Monsta out of the water for prolonged periods as this may cause irreparable damage.

Radio Frequency Receiver1. No Lights - Main plug is not switched on or plug fuse/GFI/breaker

has activated.

2. Red Light - Receiver is on standby, power is received, handle lever not compressed.

3. Green Light - Power on, Monsta motor receiving power, handle lever compressed.

How to use your

POND MONSTAEnsure that the remote control handle battery is installed (see diagram below).Note - Remove large objects over 32mm (11/4") in size with a net to prevent exces-sive blocking of Pond Monsta during operation. It is normal for Pond Monsta to block and require clearing occasionally. Pond Monsta has been designed so that this requires a minimum of time and effort (see “clearing blockages” on page 12).1. Plug in GFI (not supplied).2. Plug in fitted three prong RF receiver plug.3. Plug in RF receiver connector plug.4. Connect hose to outlet hose tail firmly, a hose clip may be used to secure (not

supplied).5. Choose Collector recycling option/position for Collector outlet returns (see

page 12).6. Place hose in Collector locator.7. Connect hose and cable to hose cable clips. Adjust so that the hose is level

with the water surface when the Monsta is fully submerged.8. Adjust pole by twisting and locking to a comfortable height.9. Switch on main electrical supply, standby light will show red on the RF re-

ceiver.10. Submerge Pond Monsta fully until air stops releasing from air outlet (the Mon-

sta will not pump effectively until all air is released).11. Compress safety button and squeeze lever to activate pumping on, release to

turn off.12. Waste will now start to flow into the Collector, it is recommended that the

higher shelf areas are cleaned first. Always move the Pond Monsta in a slow back and forth motion to prevent disturbing the sediment and waste.

13. Secondly, clean the base of the pond, again use a slow back and forth mo-tion using the clear hose as a visual guide to indicate which areas have been cleared.

14. When the Collector basket is full or over flowing, turn off the Pond Monsta by releasing the handle and remove the collected debris to waste or compost.

pond water back into the pond, directly into your plant beds as pond water is an excellent feed source your plants can use to grow tall and healthy or

the waste water can go into a drain.Pond Monsta is completely safe to healthy adult pond fish.

Maintenance of your

POND MONSTA

troubleshooting your

POND MONSTAPoor Flow from the Pond Monsta• Follow clearing blockages procedure on page 12. Check the hose attachment,

the motor housing and the brush head inlet for blockages like large clumps of blanket weed, large stones, sticks or any other large pond debris.

• If the impeller has been changed, check to see that it has been correctly fitted (see page 14).

• Ensure the outlet hose is not kinked or crushed.• Only use smooth bore hose as hose with ridges on the inside wall will greatly

restrict flow.• Check all air is released from air outlet.no Power to the Motor• The LED is glowing red on the RF receiver but there is no action when activat-

ing the handle lever - check the batteries are correctly fitted in the remote control handle and the handle does not have any water inside the casing. If there is water present, place inside a warm area to let the water evaporate. If the Pond Monsta has been used for prolonged periods the battery will need replacing.

• The LED on the receiver are not glowing when plugged into the main circuit - check your plug in the GFI, your fuse box or breaker box. Check fuse in three prong plug, if needed replace and test again.

• The LED is glowing red on the receiver and turning green when the trigger on the handle is compressed but still no action from the motor - this may indicate that the motor has overheated, the motor will reset when cooled after fifteen minutes.

Handle Activation Control• Occasional loss of squeeze on, release off control is normal. Ensure line of

sight between handle and receiver, adjust hands and body position - this will improve receiver signal reception.

Faults - Problems ProcedureBefore returning your Pond Monsta to your dealer or contacting our customer advice department, please try the following steps. This will solve most problems quickly and easily.1. Ensure electrical procedure has been followed fully. Check fuse and any cable

connectors or switch boxes. NOTE - If the pump has overheated the thermal overload will temporarily

switch off pump.2. Follow “clearing blockages” on page 12 and “troubleshooting” guide above.3. Return pump to point of purchase for inspection and advice (you will need

proof of purchase). If there is a warranty issue please call EasyPro Pond Prod-ucts for an RA number and shipping address at 800-448-3873.
