Installation
Before installation, and whenever you are
handling the pump, always disconnect from
the electrical supply.
To prevent injury, never put your fingers into the
mouth of the pump.
•
Use the handle provided to carry or lift the
pump
•
When used with a Water Butt for the first
time, ensure the water butt is emptied and
cleaned of all sediment, leaves and
accumulated debris.
Pump assembly :
A
Attach the metal baseplate to the pump with
the bolts and washers supplied
B
Screw one of the yellow accessory adaptors
to the inlet of the pump
Ensure seals are fitted to the front between
the pump and the adaptor
Ensure hand tight
C
Screw the filter onto the adaptor.
The arrow on the filter should point
towards the pump.
Ensure seal is fitted to the front between
the adaptor and the filter
Ensure hand tight
D
Remove filter adaptor from hose and attach
the suction hose to the filter
Ensure seal is fitted to the front between
the filter and the hose
Ensure all fittings are hand tight
E
Ensure that the inlet to the suction hose is at
least 150mm (6") under the surface of the
water. If required weight the end of the hose
using a brick.
It is critical that all the seals are present
and that all the joints are airtight.
There should be no elbows or kinks in the
suction hose as this will affect performance.
The installation should be consistant with
the limitations as shown in diagrams A & B
on the cover of this booklet.
F
Fill the pump chamber to the brim with tap
water using a watering can.
The Hozelock garden pumps are self
priming, therefore they can be primed
without filling the suction pipe or filter.
G
Attach the outlet connector to the outlet of
the pump.
H
Connect the garden hose to the outlet,
ensuring that the other end of the garden
hose is open and that it will be free to drain
when the pump is turned on.
Ensure that the suction hose is under the
surface of a suitable water reservoir (water
butt etc.).
I
Plug the pump into a suitable power supply.
J
When the power is turned on, the pump will
start the priming process. This operation can
take several minutes. During the priming
process the pump is pumping a mixture of air
and water, this drastically reduces the
performance of the pump and is very noisy.
The hose should be open ie. the other end
is not blocked or closed with either a spray
gun or waterstop connector
When the pump is primed and ready to use,
the noise reduces and the flow and pressure
are maximised.
If any of the seals or fittings are missing,
overtightened or loose the pump will not
prime.
If the pump does not prime after 5 minutes
- stop and repeat steps 6 to 10.
TO CONNECT TO AN IRRIGATION SYSTEM:
For use with hoses and hose reels
add a 2166 hose connector
(available separately) .
Overload protection
•
The Hozelock Garden Pump has a built in
thermal protection switch. The pump stops if
an overload condition occurs. The motor
restarts automatically after it has cooled
down.
To start the pump
•
Insert the plug into a 220-240v A/C socket.
