Maintenance and Cleaning

Before beginning any maintenance or
cleaning work, make sure that the garden
pump has been unplugged and take
precautions to ensure that it cannot be
switched on during work!
Cleaning the pump
If you have used your garden pump to pump
chlorine water (swimming pool water) or liquids
which leave a residue, flush your pump out with
clear water after use.
Clearing blockages
If your garden pump should become blocked so
that it does not suction or pump out liquid, re-
move the obstruction as follows:
•
Remove the suction hose from the pump
inlet (1).
•
Attach the pressure hose to the water tap
and spray water into the pump chamber until
the blockage is flushed out.
•
Check to see that the obstruction has been
cleared entirely by switching on the pump for
a short time. Do not let the pump suck air.
•
If the pump runs trouble-free, put it into ope-
ration as described in the instructions.
Frost protection
Store your pump so that it is protected from frost.
Remember to empty it of any remaining liquid
before storing it by removing the filler screw (9)
and dumping out any water.
Do not dispose of worn-out
units through the household
garbage!
