If leaks are detected, stop the pump immediately, remove the power cord plug from the socket and remove the leaks before
resuming operation.
It is forbidden to repair, disassemble or modify the device on one's own. All repairs to the product must be carried out by an
authorised service centre.
The device is not intended for use by children under at least 8 years of age and by persons with reduced physical and/or mental
abilities and by persons without experience in or understanding of the operation of the device, unless they will be supervised or
instructed to use the device safely, in a manner ensuring that the risks involved are understood. Children should not play with the
device. Unattended children should not be allowed to perform the cleaning and maintenance of the device.
Recommendations concerning transport and installation of the device
Warning! Do not immerse the device in water or any other liquid. Do not expose the device to precipitation. The device is intended
for indoor use only.
Warning! The device must be disconnected from the power supply during assembly and preparation activities. The pump power
cord must be unplugged from the socket.
The pump is designed for use with clean water only. Contaminants which enter the pump together with the water can lead to
damage to the pump. Use a fi lter in the pump's water suction system.
If the end of the suction hose is lowered into a water tank whose bottom is contaminated with e.g. sand or sludge, or the water
tank does not have a hard bottom, ensure that the end of the hose fi tted with a fi lter is not lowered all the way to the bottom. The
impurity suction pump will then work less effi ciently. In addition, contamination will lead to faster wear of the pump. Excessive
contamination can lead to blockages in the pump's inlet openings, which can cause damage to the pump.
It is forbidden to draw water from tanks where people are present.
Ensure that the end of the suction hose with fi lter is always below the water surface.
The device must be positioned vertically. Tipping or tilting the device leads to malfunction, reduces performance, and can also
result in damage to the device.
It is forbidden to drill any holes in the device, as well as making any other modifi cations of the device not described in the manual.
Move the device by grasping the handle or housing. Do not move the device by pulling on the power cord.
Recommendations for connecting the device to the power supply
Warning! The device should be powered by a residual current device (RCD) with a rated diff erential current of not more than 30 mA.
Before connecting the device to the power supply, make sure that the voltage, frequency and performance of the power supply
corresponds to the values shown on the device's rating plate. The plug must fi t into the outlet. It is forbidden to modify the plug
in any way.
The power supply circuit must be fi tted with a protective conductor and at least a 16 A protective device.
Avoid contact of the power cord with sharp edges, hot objects or surfaces. During operation, the power cord must always be fully
extended and the position of the power cord must be set so that it does not become an obstacle during operation. The power cord
shall not be placed a manner that would pose a risk of tripping. The power supply socket should be located in a place where it is
always possible to quickly remove the device power cord plug. Always pull the power cord by the plug housing when unplugging
it, never by the cord.
If the power cord or the plug are damaged, immediately disconnect it from the power supply and contact an authorised service
centre of the manufacturer for replacement. Do not use the device with a damaged power cord or plug. The power cord or plug
cannot be repaired and must be replaced with a new one that is free of defects if these components are damaged.
DEVICE OPERATION
Preparing the hydrophore for operation
Place the hydrophore on a hard, level and fl at surface. Select the placement location so that you can easily connect both the hoses
and the device itself to the power supply. When necessary the device can be fi xed to the surface. The base of the hydrophore has
openings which can be used, e.g. to screw the pump to the base. Do not use adhesives for fi xing.
The device should be placed in a well-ventilated room and protected against precipitation.
Preparing for operation
The pump requires its interior to be fl ooded with water before beginning operation. Unscrew the cover of the pump's infl ow opening
and fi ll the pump chamber until there is an overfl ow. It is recommended to use a nozzle and/or funnel to reduce water spills. The
pump chamber will only fi ll up after the inlet hose and pump chamber have been fi lled, so more water will be required than the
pump size suggests. After fl ooding the interior of the pump with water, screw the infl ow opening cover back on.
Check the pressure inside the tank. Unscrew the cover on the back wall of the tank and use a separate pressure gauge to read
the pressure. The pressure gauge installed in the device is used to read the water pressure and cannot be used to check the
pressure inside the tank. The pressure inside the tank must not exceed the level specifi ed in the technical data table. If necessary,
infl ate with a hand- or foot-operated pump. Do not use a compressor as it can easily damage the diaphragm inside the tank. If the
pressure needs to be reduced, press and hold the pin inside the valve carefully, e.g. using a screwdriver.
The hydrophore is ready for use.
