• When operating indoors you must ensure that there is a drain in the floor or a leak prevention
mechanism.
• Before starting up, check the suction hose to ensure that it is sealed. Bubbles of air in the
suction hose are an indication that there may be leaks and may lead to failure of the device!
Connect suction line
• All connections must be sealed with hemp and thick paste (Fermit) or thread sealing tape
(e. g. Teflon tape); leaks cause air exhaust and reduce or prevent water exhaust.
• Hemp should be used in case of pipe threads from metal; synthetic thread must be sealed
with thread sealing tape.
• All components of the suction line must be professionally installed.
• The suction pipe should have an internal diameter of at least 25 mm; it must be kink resistant
and suitable for vacuum use.
• The suction line should be as short as possible, since the conveying capacity decreases as
the length of the line increases.
• The suction line should ascend steadily toward the pump to prevent air pockets.
• Sufficient water supply must be assured; the end of the suction line must always be in water.
Connect pressure line
• All connections must be sealed with hemp and thick paste (Fermit) or thread sealing tape
(e. g. Teflon tape); leaks cause air exhaust and reduce or prevent water exhaust.
• Hemp should be used in case of pipe threads from metal; synthetic thread must be sealed
with thread sealing tape.
• All components of the presure line must be compression-proof.
• All components of the pressure line must be professionally installed.
Attention!
Risk of damage to the device!
The suction line must be installed so that it does not exert any mechanical force or
tension on the pump.
If the conveying medium is contaminated, a suction filter must be used to protect the
pump from sand and dirt.
Note:
A check valve is recommended so that the water does not run off when the pump is
shut off.
Attention!
Risk of damage to the device!
The suction line must be installed so that it does not exert any mechanical force or
tension on the pump.
Danger!
Risk of injury!
If the components are not compression-proof or if they are improperly installed, the
pressure line could burst during operation. Risk of injury from liquid spurting out!
