• Switch off the garden pump.
• If you have not done so yet, connect the suction hose to the intake opening. Use a suitable 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.
To fill the garden pump more easily with the hoses connected, the top has a corresponding filling opening.
Close this carefully after filling. Turn in the closure plug.
Also check if the closure lug for the emptying opening is tightened.
• Connect, a suitable hose or, 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. Never touch the mains plug with wet
or damp hands! There is danger to life from electric shock otherwise!
• Then switch on the garden pump (Switch position „I"). 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.
• To switch off the garden pump, put the on/off switch to the position „O".
