Pumping operation
Hold the machine firmly with both hands and perform
the pumping operation.
► Fig.12
NOTE: The pumping operation can be started from
the water level of approximately 20 mm, and can be
performed up to the residual water level of approxi-
mately 10 mm.
When using the pump attachment in muddy or sandy
soil, lay down blocks or other materials, and use the
pump attachment on them.
► Fig.13
NOTE: Be aware that pumping large amounts of
water which contains fine particles such as sediment
will shorten the life of the pump attachment.
NOTICE:
Do not insert the pump attachment
deeper than the limit mark on the pipe. Doing so
may cause a malfunction of the machine.
► Fig.14: 1. Limit mark
NOTE: If the hose outlet is in water, be aware that
water will flow back when the pumping operation is
stopped.
► Fig.15
NOTE: If the position of hose outlet is lower than the
water surface, be aware that water will continue to
flow from the hose outlet after stopping the pumping
operation.
