Function of the pump
The submersible pump sucks the liquid to be pump-
ed into the pump through the suction slots (5) and
pumps it out at the outlet (6).

• Screw the elbow connector (9, 10 BVP) into
the pump outlet (6).
• Screw the multi-size nipple (8, 11 BVP) into
the elbow connector.
• Attach a hose to the multi-size nipple.
You can cut off the tip of the multi-size nipple
to fit the diameter of the hose you are using.
Using a hose with the largest possible diameter
will greatly improve the performance of the pump.

tilt the pump slightly so that air trapped in the body
is released. Set the pump on the bottom so that it
cannot fall over. If the bottom should be sandy or
muddy or rocky and uneven, place the pump on a
suitable hard, flat surface or suspend it from a rope
attached to a secure object. Make sure to leave
adequate room between the pump and the bottom
so that it cannot suck up solid matter.
