• Switch off the garden pump.
• Check the condition of the water filter and clean it under clean, cold, running water if required. Then
insert the water filter again and screw the closure cap on tight.
• If you have not done so yet, connect the suction hose to the intake opening. Use a coarse filter and a
backflow stop at the end of the suction hose.
For an easier and faster suction process, fill the hose and garden pump with clean water; this
applies specifically for larger suction heights.
• Connect, e.g., your garden watering system, to the outlet opening.
• Plug the mains plug into a proper mains socket with a protective ground contact.
The mains plug must only be plugged into the mains socket when dry. There is danger to life from
electric shock otherwise!
• Switch on the garden pump. The garden pump starts to work now.
If the suction hose and the garden pump were filled with water as described above, the garden pump
should convey water at the outlet side after a few seconds.
Open the connected spray, shower, watering rod or sprinkler so that air can escape and water can be
conveyed.
• The garden pump is cooled at the same time as water is conveyed. Nevertheless, the garden pump is not
suitable for continuous operation. We recommend switching off the garden pump after no more than 60
minutes and to let it cool off entirely before it is reused.
If no water is conveyed, there is still air in the garden pump and the hose. If no water is conveyed
after as much as one minute, switch off the garden pump.
Insert a backflow stop at the end of the suction hose (e.g. in a well). This facilitates the suction
process specifically at higher overheads.
Fill the suction hose and the garden pump with clear water and restart pumping.
