9. Decommissioning
If the garden pump is to be disconnected from the hose (e.g. for cleaning, maintenance or storage in winter), 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. The closure plug for the emptying opening
can also be turned out to empty.
• Dry the garden pump and the mains cable. Coil up the mains cable.
• Store the garden pump in a frost-protected and dry room.
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, a suitable support
must be used to protect from water stains or other damage for storage or transport in a vehicle.
10. Maintenance and Cleaning
The garden pump has no parts that require maintenance by you. Therefore, never open or disassemble it. Main-
tenance or repair and disassembly 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.
The inside of the garden pump can be flushed with clear water. Remove the hoses and the closure plugs first.
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.
