5.1 Connecting the intake line
•
Fasten the suction hose (at least approx. 19
mm (¾") plastic hose with spiral reinforce-
ment) to the suction connection (approx. 42
mm / R1¼ male thread) of the equipment eit-
her directly or via a threaded nipple.
•
The suction hose used should be equipped
with an intake valve. If the intake valve cannot
be used, a non-return valve should be ins-
talled in the intake line.
•
Position the intake line so that it rises from
the water withdrawal point to the equipment.
Avoid positioning the suction pipe higher than
the pump, as this would delay the escape of
air bubbles from the suction pipe and impede
the priming process.
•
Install the intake and discharge lines in such
a way that they do not exert any mechanical
pressure on the equipment.
•
The intake valve should be low enough in the
water to ensure that if the water level falls, the
equipment will not run dry.
•
A leaking intake line will draw in air and there-
fore not draw in any water.
•
Prevent the intake of foreign bodies (sand
etc.). If necessary, install a coarse filter for
this purpose.
5.2 Connecting the discharge line
•
The discharge line approx. 19 mm (¾ ") must
be connected to the approx. 33,3 (R 1IG)
discharge line connector of the equipment
either directly or with the aid of a threaded
nipple.
•
With the right couplings it is also possible, of
course, to use a approx. 13 mm (½ ") delivery
hose. The smaller delivery hose results in a
lower delivery rate.
•
During the priming operation, fully open any
shut-off mechanisms (spray nozzles, valves,
etc.) in the pressure line so that the air can
escape without obstruction.
5.3 Electrical connections
•
Connect the appliance to a 220-240 V ~ 50
Hz socket-outlet with earthing contact. Mini-
mum fuse 10 ampere.
•
A built-in thermostat protects the motor from
overloading and blocking. The pump is swit-
ched off automatically by the thermostat if
overheating occurs and is switched on again
automatically after cooling.

6. Operation
•
Install the equipment on a solid and level sur-
face.
•
Fill the pump housing with water via the water
filler screw (3). Filling the intake line accelera-
tes the intake process.
•
All the shut-off devices in the discharge line
(spray nozzle, valves etc.) must be fully ope-
ned during intake in order to permit all air to
escape from the intake line.
•
Connect the power cable.
•
The intake process starts automatically once
you press the ON/OFF switch (6). – The in-
take process can take up to 5 minutes for the
maximum suction height.
•
If the pump is removed after use, it is essen-
tial that it is filled with water again the next
time it is connected and started.
After use, switch the pump back off again by pres-
sing the ON/OFF switch again (6) and allow the
pump to cool down. Then disconnect the power
plug.
7. Replacing the power cable
Danger!
If the power cable for this equipment is damaged,
it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its
after-sales service or similarly trained personnel
to avoid danger.
