into the pump through the suction hose (1) and
pumps it out at the outlet (3).
Use the On/Off switch (6) to switch the garden pump
on or off as desired.

tection switch, which switches the pump off if it over-
heats. The pump will remain off until it has
cooled down. After about 15 - 20 minutes, the pump
will automatically switch on.
