Turn the pump upside-down, open the side-panel with a pin or similar and
remove (see diagram). Take the pin and float out and clean the float and the
magnet. Prevent damage or incorrect assembly and do not remove the float
from the pin!
Regularly check whether any dirt (fibres, residues) has accumulated around the
blade. Remove it if this is the case by cleaning the pump with clean water. If you
cannot do so, take the pump to your supplier or to an accredited professional to
open the device and remove the residue.
If you regularly use the pump at different locations, you must rinse with clean
water (inside and out) after each use.
Keep the base of the well (or the tile on which the pump is positioned) free from
mud and residue.
Ensure that the pump does not freeze. Before winter sets in, run the pump dry
and store it in a frost-free location.
