threaded connector of the pressure line to ensure a leak-
proof connection.

Note
Keep the protective cap of the suction connection so
you can use it when storing the device to protect the
inside of the device against dust and dirt.
2. Connect the suction line to the suction connection(4).
3. Submerge the intake opening of the suction line at the
point of withdrawal, and make sure the intake opening is
always sufficiently covered with water.
Note
Make sure that the suction line is always installed with
an upward incline. Otherwise, an air bubble may form
at higher parts of the suction line and make the device
run dry.
Note
At the bottom of ponds and other waterbodies deposits
may have accumulated over time. To prevent the
device from being damaged, do not lower the suction
line all the way to the ground. Alternatively, you may
also connect a suitable pre-filter with backflow
preventer to the suction line. This also helps to reduce
the time to restart suction.
Filling the device with water
Warning of electrical voltage
There is a risk of electric shock when filling the device
with water.
Before filling the device, always make sure that the
mains plug has been removed.
1. Loosen the screw plug at the water filler neck by using the
wrench(3) and unscrew it.
