RISK OF DAMAGE TO THE PUMP!
If used without a filter: unwanted particles (sand, stones, etc.) will
cause damage to the pump. Any damage caused in this way will not be covered
under our warranty.
RISK OF DAMAGE TO THE PUMP!
The hose adapters on the suction and discharge connectors must only
be tightened by hand to avoid damage to the connectors. If water leaking at
the connector, seal the joint with teflon tape (not included).
• Position the intake line so that it rises from the water withdrawal point to the pump. Avoid
positioning the suction hose higher than the pump, as this would delay the escape of air
bubbles and impede the priming process.
• The end of the intake valve should be low enough in the water to ensure that if the water level
falls, the pump will not run dry.
• A leaking intake line will draw in air instead of water. Please make sure the clamp is properly
tightened.
• For suction heights exceeding 3m we recommend securing the suction hose (e.g. by fastening
it to a wooden post). This relieves the pump of the weight of the suction hose.
• Install the intake and discharge lines in such a way that they do not place the pump under
any mechanical strain.
Filling the pump
Fill the pump with clear water via the pressure connector. Filling must be done slowly so that
the air contained in the pump is completely expelled. Fill to overflow.
NOTE: As this pump is not fully self-priming we recommend that
you also fill the suction hose to accelerate the intake process. To save
filling time, you can also remove the intake line from the pump and fill the
intake line directly before assembling it back onto the pump.
