Not illustrated: Operating instructions
n Open the packaging and take out the equipment
with care.
n Remove the packaging material and any
packaging and/or transportation braces (if
available).
n Check to see if all items are supplied.
n Inspect the equipment and accessories for
transport damage.
n If possible, please keep the packaging until the
end of the guarantee period.
IMPORTANT
The equipment and packaging material are not
toys. Do not let children play with plastic bags,
foils or small parts. There is a danger of
swallowing or suffocating!
3. Proper use
Applications
n Irrigation and watering of green areas, vegetable
beds and gardens.
n Operation of lawn sprinklers.
n For drawing water from ponds, streams, rainwater
butts, rainwater cisterns and springs
n For supplying service water
Transport media:
n For the pumping of clear water (fresh water),
rainwater or light suds/service water.
n The maximum temperature of the fluid must not
exceed +35°C if the equipment is operated
permanently.
n Do not use the equipment to pump inflammable,
gassing or explosive fluids.
n The pumping of aggressive liquids (acids, alkalis,
silo seepage etc.) as well as liquids with abrasive
substances (sand) must likewise be avoided.
n This equipment is not designed to convey
drinking water.
The equipment is to be used only for its prescribed
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 injuries of any kind
caused as a result of this.
Please note that our equipment has not been
designed 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 putting the equipment into
operation
5.1 Connecting the intake line
n The intake hose or pipe should have a minimum
diameter of 25 mm (1”); a diameter of 32 mm
(11/4”) is recommended for suction heights
exceeding 5 m.
n Connect the intake valve (foot valve) with intake
cage to the intake line.
n Position the intake line so that it rises from the
water withdrawal point to the equipment. Avoid
positioning the suction pipe higher than the pump,
as this would delay the escape of air bubbles
from the suction pipe and impede the priming
process.
n Install the intake and discharge lines in such a
way that they do not exert any mechanical
pressure on the equipment.
n The intake valve should be low enough in the
water to ensure that if the water level falls, the
equipment will not run dry.
n A leaking intake line will draw in air and therefore
not draw in any water.
5.2 Connecting the discharge line
n Screw the adapter (11) onto the pressure
connection (1), then you can fasten the supplied
garden hose (12).
n The discharge line (min. 19 mm (3/4”)) must be
connected to the 33.3 mm (R1IG) female thread
discharge line connector of the equipment either
directly or with the aid of a threaded nipple.
n With the right couplings it is also possible, of
course, to use a 13 mm (1/2“) delivery hose. The
smaller delivery hose results in a lower delivery
rate.
n During the priming operation, fully open any shut-
off mechanisms (spray nozzles, valves, etc.) in
the pressure line so that the air can escape
