Operation Progress:
As a Sludge Suction Unit (Pond Vacuum):
- Place the unit at a minimum distance of 1.5m from the water.
- Ensure a safe and stable position, with the drain opening above the water level.
- Plug the drain hose into the drain opening of the collection container.
- Plug the discharge hose into the drain valve outlet of the vacuum drum.
- Ensure the drainage valve outlet is above the water level.
- Ensure the hose lies straight, avoiding kinks or bends caused by uneven ground.
- Switch the unit to position II (Auto cycle mode).
- The unit will vacuum until full, then automatically drain through the discharge hose and restart (auto cycle).
- Attention: Never operate without the foam filter and float body (equipped in the factory). For vacuuming a lot of water, do not use the cloth filter; use the foam filter instead.
