2. Guide the universal nozzle to the floor of the pond.

Maintenance and cleaning

How to proceed:
 D
1. Switch off the unit and disconnect the power plug.
2. Disconnect the hoses.
3. Undo the side locking clips and remove the motor housing.

Cause
Drain hose incorrectly fitted
Excessive height difference between water
level and unit
Dirt has accumulated in the foam filter, in the
suction tube or in the suction hose
Dirt has accumulated in the area of the non-re-
turn valve at the drain hose preventing it from
closing properly
The collection container cannot drain
Collection container and drain hose are soiled
The more tubes are used, the higher the tube
frictional resistance. The suction capacity
reduces.
Remedy
The non-return valve must be located at the
free end of the drain hose
Places the unit at water level height
Remove soiling
Remove soiling
Lay the drain hose without kinks.
Provide slight gravity for the drain hose.
After draining, almost no water should remain
in the collection container.
Remove soiling
Hold the suction hose as flat as possible to im-
prove the suction performance
