Connect the suction line
Note:
We recommend the installation of flexible lines at the pump inlet to prevent mechanical
pressure or tension being exerted on the pump.
1. Select the length of the suction line such that the pump cannot run dry. The suction
line must always be at least 30 cm under the water surface.
2. Connect the suction line. Ensure that the connection is tight, but take care not to
damage the thread.
3. If the water carries a small amount of sand, aprefilter must be installed between
suction line and pump inlet.
4. Always lay the suction line with an upward gradient.
Note:
If the suction head is more than 4 m, a suction hose with a diameter larger than 1” must
be installed.
Install pressure line
1. Screw connecting nipple (13) with round seal ring (14) into pump outlet (2).
2. Screw elbow nipple (11) with seal (12) onto connecting nipple (13) and turn the
elbow nipple in the required direction.
3. Connect pressure line (10) to elbow nipple (11).
4. Open all shut-off devices (valves, spray nozzles, water tap) in the pressure line.
Operation
Important:
Danger of damage to the device. Dry running will destroy the pump!
The pump must be filled with water up to the overflow before each use so that it can
draw water immediately.
