3. Proper use

Applications
•
Irrigation and watering of green areas, vege-
table beds and gardens.
•
Operation of lawn sprinklers.
•
For drawing water from ponds, streams, rain-
water butts, rainwater cisterns and springs
•
For supplying service water
Transport media:
•
For the pumping of clear water (fresh water),
rainwater or light suds/service water.
•
The maximum temperature of the fluid must
not exceed +35°C if the equipment is opera-
ted permanently.
•
Do not use the equipment to pump inflamma-
ble, gassing or explosive fluids.
•
The pumping of aggressive liquids (acids, al-
kalis, silo seepage etc.) as well as liquids with
abrasive substances (sand) must likewise be
avoided.
•
This equipment is not designed to convey
drinking water.
The equipment is to be used only for its prescri-
bed purpose. Any other use is deemed to be a
case of misuse. The user / operator and not the
manufacturer will be liable for any damage or inju-
ries of any kind caused as a result of this.
Please note that our equipment has not been de-
signed for use in commercial, trade or industrial
applications. Our warranty will be voided if the
machine is used in commercial, trade or industrial
businesses or for equivalent purposes.

5. Before starting the equipment

Before you connect the equipment to the mains
supply make sure that the data on the rating plate
are identical to the mains data.
Warning!
Always pull the power plug before making
adjustments to the equipment.
As a basic principle, we recommend the use of
a preliminary filter and a suction set with suction
hose, intake cage and non-return valve, in order
to prevent long priming periods and unnecessary
damage to the pump as a result of stones and
solid foreign bodies.
5.1 Installing the carrying handle
For installing the carrying handle, please follow
the instructions, according picture 2 to 5
5.2 Connecting the intake line
•
Fasten the suction hose (at least approx. 19
mm (¾") plastic hose with spiral reinforce-
ment) to the suction connection approx. 33.3
mm (R1 male thread) of the equipment either
directly or via a threaded nipple.
•
The suction hose used should be equipped
with an intake valve. If the intake valve cannot
be used, a non-return valve should be ins-
talled in the intake line.
•
Position the intake line so that it rises from
the water withdrawal point to the equipment.
Avoid positioning the intake line higher than
the pump, as this would delay the escape of
air bubbles from the intake line and impede
the priming process.
•
Install the intake and discharge lines in such
a way that they do not exert any mechanical
pressure on the equipment.
•
The intake valve should be low enough in the
water to ensure that if the water level falls, the
unit will not run dry.
•
A leaking intake line will draw in air and there-
fore not draw in any water.
•
Prevent the intake of foreign bodies (sand,
etc.). If necessary, install a coarse filter for
this purpose.
5.3 Connecting the discharge line
•
The discharge line (min. 19 mm (¾")) must be
connected to the 33.3 mm (R1 male thread)
female thread discharge line connector of the
equipment either directly or with the aid of a
threaded nipple.
