2. Slowly pour in clear water, until the
pump is filled.
3. To reduce the time needed for prim-
ing you can also fill the suction line.
4. Replace the water filler plug, com-
plete with gasket.
5. Open pressure line (open tap or
spray nozzle) for any air to escape
during priming.
6. Start equipment (see "Operation").
7. Switch equipment OFF when water
runs out steadily.

6. Operation

Pump and suction line must be con-

A Caution! 
Pump must not run dry. Ensure
there is always sufficient pumping
medium (water) available.

If the motor does not start, no pres-
sure is built up or similar effects are
evident, switch the equipment OFF
– and try to remove the fault (see

"Trouble Shooting").

3 Note: 
This pumps runs as long as the
ON/OFF switch is switched ON.
1. Plug power cable in.
2. Switch pump on with the ON/OFF

7.1

Danger of freezing

A Caution! 
Frost damages the pump and
accessories, as both always contain

dismount equipment and accesso-
ries and store at a freeze-proof loca-
tion (see below).
7.2 Equipment dismounting
and storing
1. Switch equipment OFF and unplug.
2. Open pressure line (open tap or
spray nozzle) and drain water com-
pletely.
3. Drain pump completely; to do so
remove the drain plug from the

Fault finding

Pump does not run:
 No mains voltage.
• Check cables, plug, outlet and
mains fuse.
 Mains voltage too low.
• Use only extension cables with
sufficient lead cross section (see
"Technical Specifications").
 Motor overheated, motor protection
relay tripped.
• After cooling off the pump will
switch ON again.
ENGLISH
• Ensure sufficient ventilation, keep
vent slots clear.
• Observe max. temperature of the
pumped medium.
 Motor hums but does not start.
• With the motor switched OFF, put
screwdriver or similar through the
fan cover's vent slots and turn the
fan.
 Pump blocked or out of order.
• Disassemble pump and clean.
• Clean diffusor, replace if neces-
sary.
• Clean impeller, replace if neces-
sary.
Pump does not prime correctly or
runs very noisily:
 Lack of water.
• Ensure there is a sufficient water
supply.
 Suction line leaky.
• Seal suction line, tighten screw
fittings.
 Suction head too high.
• Observe max. suction head.
• Install check valve, fill suction line
with water.
 Suction
strainer
blocked.
• Clean, replace if necessary.
 Check valve (accessory) blocked.
• Clean, replace if necessary.
 Water leaks between motor and
pump, Duocone seal worn.
• Replace Duocone seal.
 Pump blocked or out of order.
• see above.
Pressure too low:
 Suction line leaky or too much suc-
tion head.
• see above.
 Pump blocked or out of order.
• see above.

9. Repairs

Danger! 
A
Repairs to electric tools must
only be carried out by a qualified
electrician!
