Bosch GardenPump 18 Manual Original página 19

Return the anti-siphon connector (12) with hose into the
clamp on the hose guide (11).
You can leave the connecting hose uncut and let the hose
protrude. Please note that for the anti-siphon connector to
function the anti-siphon connector needs to be placed to its
original position in the hose guide.
Connecting the hose and cable (see figure F)
Take the 2-pin plug connector (21) on the power cable and
align it with the junction point on the battery control unit and
insert until it is firmly seated.
Screw the union nut onto the cable connection to secure the
plug and prevent water from entering.
Attach the universal connector (14) on the connecting
hose (13) to the hose connection (19) on the pump.
Placing the pump into the tank and connecting a
garden hose (see figure G)
With the connecting hose attached lower the pump into the
tank.
To aid submersion the pump is fitted with a small vent that
allows air to escape when the pump is placed into water. A
valve closes the vent when the pump is operating which ac-
counts for the noise users may notice if the pump is shaken.
Place the hose guide on the rim of the water tank and ensure
that the pump is in the correct position. If necessary adjust
accordingly.
Attach a garden hose with a standard hose coupling to the
anti-siphon connector (12).
Note: Do not use a hose coupling with auto stop as this may
reduce the flow.
Using closed Rainwater Tanks
The pump can also be used with closed water tanks. De-
pending on the version, use the access points for cable and
hose at the top of the tank. In some cases the openings must
be cut out. Make sure there are no sharp edges/burrs.
Inserting the Battery (see figure H)
To open the control unit (6), pivot the locking handle (7) up-
ward and pull the control unit cover down. Insert the bat-
tery (22) from above into the control unit until it engages.
Close the cover and pivot the locking handle downward. The
pump can only be started if the control unit is locked with the
locking handle.
Finished assembly (see figure I)
Make sure that the water tank is always closed with a lid or
the like, to ensure that no children or animals can fall into it.
Operation
If no more water can be pumped, a dry-run protection fea-
ture switches off the pump automatically.
