3. Proper use
The machine is suitable for irrigating and watering
landscaped areas, vegetable beds and gardens
and for operating lawn sprinklers. The water can
be taken from ponds, streams, rainwater butts,
rainwater cisterns and springs if an initial fi lter is
fi tted.
The maximum temperature of the fl uid must not
exceed +35°C if the machine is operated perma-
nently. Clean water (sweet water), rainwater and
low concentrations of washing lye can be used as
the transport medium. The machine must not be
used to transport infl ammable, gassing, explosive
and aggressive fl uids (such as petrol, acids, lyes,
silo percolating juice, etc.) and fl uids that contain
abrasive substances (such as sand).
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
As a basic principle, we recommend the use of
a preliminary fi lter and a suction set with suction
hose, suction strainer and non-return valve, in
order to prevent long priming periods and unne-
cessary damage to the pump as a result of stones
and solid foreign bodies.
5.1 Preparing the machine
•
Fill the engine with engine oil (see also point
7.2.1 Oil change).
•
Fill the tank with petrol.
•
Place the machine on a flat, firm surface.
5.2 Connecting and routing the intake and
discharge lines
•
Connect the intake line to the intake connec-
tion (Figure 3 / Item 11) and the discharge
line to the discharge connection (Figure 3 /
Item 3).
•
Position the intake line so that it rises from
the water withdrawal point to the pump. It is
essential that you do not route the intake line
above the height of the pump. Air bubbles in
the intake line will slow down and prevent the
intake process.
•
Install the intake and discharge lines in such
a way that they do not exert any mechanical
pressure on the pump.
•
The intake valve should be low enough in the
water to ensure that if the water level falls, the
pump will not run dry.
•
A leaking intake line will draw in air and there-
fore not draw in any water.
•
Do not draw in any foreign bodies (sand,
etc.). If necessary install an initial filter.
