9. Preparation for operation

We recommend the use of a pre-filter and suction equipment consisting of a suction hose, a suction strainer
and a non-return valve. This will prevent damage to the pump from stones and other solid foreign objects.
a) General information
• The water to be pumped must be clean and clear. Only fine suspended matter is admissible, which may occur in
every normal garden pond. Coarser impurities (leaves, dirt particles, pebbles etc.) clog the suction port or block
the pump.
b) Suction port
To reduce the initial suction time, you can fill the suction hose with clear water before connecting it to the
product.
• Remove the suction port protective cap (12).
• Screw a suction hose onto the suction port (13). If necessary, seal the screw connection with sealing tape.
• The suction hose should feature a suction valve. If the suction valve cannot be used, a non-return valve should
be installed.
• Lay the suction hose so that it inclines upwards from the water intake point towards the product. The suction hose
should not lie higher than the product, otherwise air bubbles will form, which will make it difficult to pump the water.
• Make sure that the suction valve of the suction hose is deep enough in the water intake point (at least 10 cm below
the water surface) so that the product does not run dry when the water level drops.
• Make sure that the suction port is completely sealed. Otherwise air is drawn in instead of water.
c) Pressure port
The pressure hose should be able to withstand the maximum discharge rate of the pump (see "Technical
data").
• Remove the pressure port protective cap (5).
• Connect a pressure hose to the pressure port (6).
• Open existing locking mechanisms (e.g. spray nozzles, valves). This allows the air present in the suction line to
escape.
d) Water filler opening
• Use the tool (17) to remove the screw cap (16).
• Fill the product with water through the water filler opening (14). This accelerates the suction process.
• After you have filled the product with water, use the tool to close the water filler opening airtight with the screw cap.
