Taking into operation
18 First turn the shut-off lever on the safety adapter to the ON position to open the three val-
ves. If the shut-off lever cannot be turned to the ON position, the safety adapter has not
been tted correctly to the pump head. In that case, repeat step 17.
19 Press the suction aid rmly several times until the lter container automatically lls with
water. As soon as the container is full the mains plug can be plugged in to begin operating
the lter. Make sure that the nozzle tube (delivery side) is above the surface of the water during
the lling process so that the device is optimally bled of air.
Attention: Depending on the way the hoses are laid, initially only one of the two hoses
may ll with water. In that case, you can squeeze the lled suction channel rmly toget
her with your ngers until the empty hose has lled.
- Then place the plug in the open end of the nozzle tube.
Regulating the ow
20 To set the desired ltering performance on the delivery side, turn the shut-off lever on the
safety adapter slowly in the OFF direction. The oat in the indicator window shows the
actual ow of water.
Indicator
21 The indicator provides continuous information about the volume of water owing through
and signals any faults that may occur. If the oat touches the red bar, the lter is not per
forming to its full capacity and the lter system must be checked (see what to do if...,
pages 17-19).
Service and maintenance
- First turn the shut-off lever on the safety adapter to the OFF position
(see step 20). Pull out plug from mains. Remove safety adapter (see step 6).
- Tilt the lter slightly forward, using the recessed grips and pull out of the cabinet on the
castors. Open all four closing clips and remove the pump head.
Interim cleaning (prelter)
22 Pull prelter out of the container by the two handles and place in the prelter
transportation dish. Empty prelter and rinse out blue lter pad thoroughly under lukewarm
running water until the water runs clear.
Tip: Renew blue lter pad after the second or third cleaning (Order No. 2616802).
- Remove lattice screen from the container and check to see if the white lter pad is very
dirty. Replace if necessary. The white lter pad is for mechanical ne ltering. Since the dir
particles that cling to it cannot be completely washed out, the lter pad may only be used
once. Use a new lter pad (Order No. 2616802).
- Replace prelter in the lter container. Check seals on the pump head and the upper edge
of the container and clean off any soiling. Replace pump head. Close all four closure clips.
Reinsert safety adapter (see step 17).
- Turn shut-off lever to the ON position (see step 18) and press suction aid several times
(see step 19). Then take the device into operation by plugging it into the mains.
