Sand and other abrasive substances cause increased wear and
reduce the pump’s output.
Take care that the pump is located where the inlet openings at
the suction base are obstructed neither completely nor partly.
Stand the pump on a brick if using in a pond.
When you purchase your pump the swivel feet are set to the
flat suction position (1 mm).
vFor normal operation, turn the feet 180° to 5 mm.
The pump is lifted 5 mm.
vClear the outlet line before use.
The pump is automatically switched off on overheating by
the built-in thermal motor protector. After having cooled down,
the motor automatically switches on again (see 6. Trouble
Shooting).
The automatic deaerating valve eliminates any air pockets in
the pump. Air escapes by the vent bores 4and air bubbles
form under water. This is not a defect of your pump, but serves
to deaerate the pump.
It may take several seconds for the air to escape when the
pump is immersed for the first time.
