6. Instruções de operação
- Ligar: After proper setup and submersion, plug in the pump to start operation.
- Ajustar a taxa de fluxo: Locate the 'FLOW VALVE' rotary knob on the side of the pump. Rotate the knob towards '+' to increase the water flow rate, or towards '-' to decrease it. Note that the flow cannot be completely turned off using this knob.
- Monitoramento: Observe the water flow and adjust as needed for your specific application.
- Desligar: To stop the pump, unplug it from the electrical outlet. Always unplug before removing the pump from water.
