overflows to achieve full suction power.

• Pour water into the opening until the chamber
of the pump (8) is full.
• Replace the filler screw (2) and tighten it.

a blocked or closed pressure hose.

etc.).
• Switch the pump on by pushing the switch (6) to
On.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Before beginning any maintenance or
!
cleaning work, make sure that the garden
pump has been unplugged and take
precautions to ensure that it cannot be
switched on during work!
Cleaning the pump
If you have used your garden pump to pump
chlorine water (swimming pool water) or liquids
which leave a residue, flush your pump out with
clear water after use.
Clearing blockages
If your garden pump should become blocked so
that it does not suction or pump out liquid, remove
the obstruction as follows:
• Remove the suction hose from the pump inlet
(1).
• Attach the pressure hose to the water tap and
spray water into the pump chamber until the
blockage is flushed out.
• Check to see that the obstruction has been
cleared entirely by switching on the pump for a
short time. Do not let the pump suck air.
• If the pump runs trouble-free, put it into opera-
tion as described in the instructions.
Frost protection
Store your pump so that it is protected from frost.
Remember to empty it of any remaining liquid
before storing it by removing the filler screw (9)
and dumping out any water.
Do not dispose of worn-out
units through the household
garbage!
