9. Decommissioning
If the garden pump is to be disconnected from the hose (e.g. for cleaning, maintenance or storage in win-
ter), proceed as follows:
• Switch off the garden pump. Disconnect the garden pump from the power supply, pull the mains plug
from the mains socket.
• Disconnect the connected hoses from the garden pump.
• Let residual water run out of the garden pump by holding it diagonally. To empty it, additionally remove
the water filter and open the closure cap at the bottom of the pump.
• Dry the garden pump and the mains cable. Coil up the mains cable.
• Store the garden pump in a frost-protected and dry room over winter.
Also consider emptying the hoses placed outdoors to prevent frost damage; open any water taps
that may be installed.
• Carry or transport the garden pump only by the carry handle. Never hold it by the hose or even the mains
cable.
• After operation or emptying, a small amount of water may remain in the garden pump. Therefore, use a
suitable support when storing or transporting it in a vehicle.
10. Maintenance and Cleaning
The garden pump has no parts that require maintenance by you. Therefore, never open or disassemble
it. Maintenance or repair and opening of the garden pump in this context must only be performed by a
specialist or specialist workshop.
Before cleaning, switch off the garden pump and disconnect it from the mains voltage; pull the mains plug
from the mains socket.
The garden pump can be cleaned with a clean, soft cloth that was moistened with water.
To clean the water filter, remove the transparent closure cap of the water filter; then remove the filter (re-
member its alignment). If required, flush the water filter with clear, clean water. Then insert the filter again
and screw the closure cap on tight.
Dry the garden pump and the mains cable before storing it.
Never use any aggressive cleaning agents, cleaning alcohol or other chemical solutions, since
these may damage the casing or even impair function.
