Q: Where is the on/off switch for the RIBIMEX JET121 pump?

This pump does not have a physical on/off switch on its body. The operation is very simple: Starting: Simply plug the power cable (230V - 50Hz) into an electrical outlet. The pump starts automatically. Stopping: Unplug the cable from the power outlet. Important before the first start: Unscrew the filling cap located on the body of the pump and fill it completely with water until it overflows. This step is essential because the pump must be primed before it can operate. If you want more convenient control (remote on/off), you can use a power strip with a built-in switch or a smart plug to turn the pump on and off without plugging/unplugging the cable.

Maintenance is limited to: Checking and adjusting the oil levels if necessary Inspecting the integrity of seals and the tightness of connections before each restart Cleaning the inlet filter Draining the pump before winter or storing it in a frost-free place The manual does not specify a specific oil change frequency. For optimal maintenance of your electric motor, refer to the provided manual or contact the manufacturer if you have any doubts about the quantity or type of oil.

Question 1

How to prime the RIBIMEX JET121 pump?

Accepted Answer

To prime your RIBIMEX JET121 pump, follow this simple procedure:

Manual Priming

Unscrew the filling cap located on the body of the pump
Fill the pump body with clean, clear water until it overflows
Tighten the cap securely to prevent any air intake
Check the connections of the suction hose to ensure they are airtight
Plug the pump into a 230V outlet to start

This manual operation is only necessary at the first start-up or after a prolonged stop. The JET121 is a self-priming pump, which means it only needs to be primed once if it remains continuously powered.

Important: do not splash water on the electrical components during this operation. Use clean water that is free of particles, as the JET121 can only handle clear water.

Question 5

How to maintain the fabric filter of the RIBIMEX CeneAsp vacuum cleaner?

Accepted Answer

The RIBIMEX CeneAsp 30 liters vacuum cleaner is equipped with two complementary filters: a fabric filter and a sponge filter (polyurethane) that protect the 1200W motor. Regular maintenance of the fabric filter is essential to maintain suction power and prolong the lifespan of your device.

Cleaning indicator: You will know it is time to clean the filter when the suction power significantly decreases after use. Unplug the device from the power supply before any intervention.

Cleaning procedure:

Unplug the vacuum cleaner from the power outlet
Release the two locking hooks located on each side of the top cover
Carefully remove the top cover
Gently pull out the sponge filter and the fabric filter
First, empty the dust from the canister by turning it upside down over a trash can
Shake the fabric filter vigorously outside to remove trapped dust
If fine particles stick to the filter, gently clean it with a soft brush using gentle motions

Important points: Never clean the fabric filter with water, chemicals, or solvents, as this could damage it and compromise its effectiveness. After cleaning, check that both filters have no holes, tears, or excessive wear. A damaged filter must be replaced immediately to ensure optimal suction and motor protection.

Reassembly: Once the filters are dry and clean, first reinstall the fabric filter, then the sponge filter in their place. Replace the top cover and tighten the two locking hooks until they click to ensure a good seal. This step is crucial for your vacuum cleaner to function properly.

Recommended frequency: Empty the canister after each prolonged use to avoid premature loss of power. Completely clean the fabric and sponge filters at least once a month depending on your usage frequency.
