3. Configuració
3.1 Desembalatge
Carefully remove the air pump and all accessories from the packaging. Inspect the unit for any signs of damage during transit. If damage is found, contact your supplier immediately.
3.2 Col·locació
Select a suitable location for the air pump:
- Dry and Protected: The pump must be installed in a dry, sheltered location, away from direct sunlight, rain, and excessive dust.
- Above Water Level: Always place the pump above the highest water level of your pond or application to prevent water from siphoning back into the pump. If this is not possible, install a check valve on the air line.
- Ventilació: Ensure the area has good air circulation to prevent overheating. Maintain at least 6 inches (15 cm) of clear space around all sides of the pump.
- Superfície estable: Place the pump on a flat, stable surface to minimize vibration and noise.
3.3 Air Line Connection
Connect the appropriate size air hose (typically 3/4 inch or 1 inch) to the pump's outlet nozzle. Secure the hose with a clamp if necessary. Run the air hose to your air diffusers or air stones in the pond or application.

4. Funcionament
4.1 Inici inicial
Once all connections are secure and the pump is properly placed, plug in the power cord. The pump should start operating immediately, producing air from the diffusers/stones.
4.2 Funcionament continu
The Hakko HK25LP is designed for continuous operation. Monitor the air output and ensure the pump is running smoothly. Periodically check for any unusual noises or vibrations.
4.3 Air Flow Adjustment (if applicable)
If your setup includes an air manifold with individual valves, you can adjust the airflow to specific diffusers as needed. Do not restrict the overall airflow excessively, as this can put strain on the pump.
5. Manteniment
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your air pump. Always disconnect power before performing any maintenance.
5.1 Neteja/substitució del filtre d'aire
The air filter sponge prevents dust and debris from entering the pump. Check and clean the filter sponge every 3-6 months, or more frequently in dusty environments. To clean, remove the filter cover, take out the sponge, wash it with clean water, and allow it to dry completely before reinserting. Replace the filter sponge annually or if it shows signs of deterioration.
5.2 Diaphragm Replacement
The diaphragms are wear-and-tear components and typically need replacement every 12-18 months, depending on usage and environmental conditions. Reduced airflow or increased noise are indicators that the diaphragms may need replacement. Refer to the specific diaphragm replacement kit instructions for detailed steps. It is recommended to use genuine Hakko replacement parts.
5.3 Neteja general
Keep the exterior of the pump clean and free of dust and debris. Use a soft, damp tela. No utilitzeu productes químics aggressivs ni netejadors abrasius.
