Preparing the Appliance

Illustration
" Install backflow valve on suction side
using thread seal tape.
" Connect anti-vacuum suction hose with
integrated backflow valve on the suction
side.
(available as optional accessory)
" Connect the pressure side for noise re-
duction to the pressure pipe via flexible
hose.
" To make subsequent empting of the
system and pressure release easier, we
recommend you install a shut-off valve
between pump and pressure line.
(not included in delivery)
By closing the shut-off valve when emp-
tying the pump you can prevent water
from escaping from the pressure line.
Illustration
" Unscrew the lid of the filling nozzle and
fill in water till it overflows.
" Screw on the lid on the filling nozzle.
" Open existinng locking valves in the
pressure pipe and empty rest water.

Operation
" Insert the plug into the socket.
" Turn on the machine.
" Wait until pump suction is established
and uniform, and then close the shut-off
valve on the pressure line.
The flow meter switches the pump off
after a short overpump time.
Caution
System is under pressure!
Illustration
" Tip: When using the pump as a garden
pump, raise the pressure hose to ap-
prox. 1m to reduce the suction time.
Caution
Missing water supply is detected by the flow
meter. If the first transport does not suc-
ceed in the first 4min, a failure on the suc-
tion side is detected and displayed by
blinking the lights. Afterwards, the pump is
switched off.
Tip: For failure description see the chapter:
"Troubleshooting".

Finish operation

" Turn off the appliance.
" Disconnect the main plug from the sock-
et.
" Rinse the pump after every use if you
use to transport water with additives.
