Function description
The vacuum cleaner is used for removing sludge from ponds/pools via the suction hose and collecting it in the tank.
The suction power can be regulated with the slide in the suction hose handle.
The debris collection bag in the vacuum cleaner tank collects coarse particles, thereby preventing the discharge pump
from becoming clogged. Should the suction capacity decrease, it is necessary to clean the debris collection bag.
The discharge pump continuously pumps the dirty water out of the tank via the discharge hose.
The float in the filter support basket protects the vacuum head from the ingress of water. Clean the foam filter regularly
to ensure perfect function of the vacuum cleaner. Ensure that the float can move freely.
Protective function of the float:
• If the dirty water level in the tank rises inadmissibly, the float closes the intake in the vacuum head and switches the
vacuum head off.
– If the float unblocks the intake within 15 s, the vacuum head will switch on automatically. Otherwise the vacuum
cleaner will switch off completely and a warning signal will sound.
– If the float closes the intake three times within 60 s, the vacuum cleaner will switch off completely and a warning
signal will sound.
– The vacuum cleaner may only be restarted by switching it off and on after remedy of the malfunction.

How to proceed:
C
1. Release the locking clips.
– To do this, grip the clips from underneath and pull upwards.
2. Lift off the vacuum head and the adapter ring.
– The vacuum head and adapter ring can be removed separately.
– The plug connector for the discharge pump does not need to be disconnected.
3. Assemble the parts in the reverse order and fasten with the locking clips.
– Ensure that the parts are precisely aligned in relation to each other.
– Ensure that the seal on the adapter ring is correctly seated so that it is not damaged during assembly.
