Putting into operation
There are 3 ways to prime the filter. 1) With the starter bulb (order
no. 4003540), 2) with the Universal Installation Kit 1 (see G1,
order no. 4004300) or 3) by sucking the hose on the pressure
side.
Connect the pressure side hose to the outlet elbow and the spray
bar while the filter fills with water. The pump can be switched on
when water has filled the filter, and for a short time while trapped
air is exhausted from the filter media a slight noise from the pump
will be heard (this is normal).
Fit the plug into the end of the spray bar after all the air bubbles
have disappeared.
Servicing and maintenance
H/I Pull out mains plug. Release locking piece on pump head and
remove pump parts as per drawing. Lift out cooling channel insert
(drawing I) with screwdriver. Clean all parts and then reassemble
in the reverse order.
Note:
All hose connections must be checked at regular intervals for cor-
rect fitting.
Attention:
The impeller blades must rotate free on the impeller, and the impel-
ler must spin freely on the ceramic shaft, so that the pump starts
without trouble.
