7.1. Fill in the pump housing
Before you use the pump for the first time, the pump housing (8) has to be fully
filled with water. Therefore, fill up the pump housing (8) via the integrated pre-
filter according to the illustrations below.
1. Open the filter lid by
turning in counter-
clockwise rotation. You
can take something like
a screwdriver for help.
2. Put a min. 20 cm long bar in the middle of the filter and push it carefully
down, to open the
check valve. Fill in the
water until the top, once
the valve is pressed.
3. Take out the bar and screw the filter lid back by rotating clockwise. Please
make sure, that the
seal isn´t dirty and
properly lost in the filter.
It is highly recommended to
vent the suction line (2) as well, i.e. to fill it with water. It is true that the electrical
pumps of the T.I.P. HWA series are self-priming and can be put into operation by
filling only the pump housing with water. In this case, however, the pump will re-
quire some time before it will have sucked in the liquid to be pumped and pro-
ceed to the actual discharging function. In addition, this way of proceeding may
require the pump to be filled several times. This depends on the length and di-
ameter of the suction line. After filling, please open any shutting device (7) in the
pressure line, for instance a water tap, to enable the air to escape during sucking
in. Plug the mains plug into an easily accessible 230V AC socket, the green
"Power" indicator must now light up.
