5. Before using the equipment
The equipment is supplied without batteries
and without a charger.
As a basic principle, we recommend the use of
a preliminary fi lter 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 Connecting the intake line
•
Fasten the suction hose (at least approx.
19 mm (¾") plastic hose with spiral
reinforcement) to the suction connection
approx. 42 mm (R1 ¼ 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
installed 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
therefore not draw in any water.
•
Prevent the intake of foreign bodies (sand,
etc.). If necessary, install a coarse filter for
this purpose.
5.2 Connecting the discharge line
•
The discharge line (min. approx. 19 mm
(3/4")) must be connected to the female
thread discharge line (approx. 33.3 mm (R1
female thread)) connector of the equipment
either directly or with the aid of a threaded
nipple.
•
You can also use a pressure hose of approx.
13 mm (1/2") with the relevant couplings. The
pump rate is reduced when using the smaller
discharge line.
•
During the priming process, the shut-off
devices present in the discharge line (spray

5.3 Fitting the battery (Fig. 2)
Open the battery cover.
Press the side pushlock button of the battery
pack as shown in Fig. 2 and push the battery
pack into the mount provided. When the battery
is positioned as in Fig. 2, make sure that the
pushlock button latches in place! To remove the
battery pack, proceed in reverse order.
Important!
Use only batteries which are charged to the same
level. Never combine full and half-full batteries.
Always charge the two batteries simultaneously.
The equipment's operating time depends on
the battery with the lower charge level. The two
batteries must always be fully charged before use.
5.4 Charging the battery (Figure 3)
1. Take the battery pack out of the equipment.
2. Check that your mains voltage is the same as

The battery pack can become a little warm during
the charging. This is normal.
If the battery pack fails to charge, check:

to our customer service center.
To ensure that the battery pack provides long
service, you should take care to recharge it
promptly. You must recharge the battery pack
when you notice that the power of the cordless

become fully discharged. This will cause it to
develop a defect.
