• Place the suction line deep enough in the water to prevent the garden pump from running dry due to the water level sinking.
• Check the suction hose for leaks, to avoid sucking air.
• Avoid sucking in foreign bodies (sand etc.).

8.2 Filling the garden pump with water (Fig. 3)

To reduce the start-up time of the garden pump and to prevent air from being sucked in, the garden pump must be filled with water beforehand!

1. The suction line should already be fitted for this purpose to prevent water from flowing out of the suction connection (3).
2. Fill the garden pump with water via the opening of the pressure connection (1). Alternatively, water can be poured in through the opening of the filler plug (2). Approx. 2.5 litres of water are required.
3. Tilt the garden pump slightly in between to avoid air pockets.
4. Now, attach the pressure line as described in the next point.

8.3 Preparing the garden hose (Fig. 1)

1. Unscrew and separate the quick-coupling (7). Slide the union nut over the garden hose (10) and attach the quick coupling (7) to the garden hose (10).
2. Now screw it onto the union nut.
3. Unscrew and separate the quick-coupling with the water-stop (8). Slide the union nut over the other end of the garden hose (10) and attach the quick coupling with water-stop (8) to the garden hose (10).
4. Now screw the quick coupling with water-stop (10) back onto the union nut.

8.4 Installation of a pressure line (Fig. 4)

1. Remove the sealing cap (1a) on the pressure connection (1). Keep the sealing cap (1a) in a safe place!
2. Screw the hose adapter (6) onto the pressure connection (1).
3. Then connect the end of the garden hose with the quick coupling (7) to the hose adapter (6).
4. During the suction process, the consumers present in the pressure line (e.g. syringe, shower, toilet flush, etc.) must be completely opened so that the air present in the suction line can escape freely.

8.5 Installation and description of the garden spray gun (Fig. 1)

1. Connect the garden spray gun (9) to the end of the garden hose (10) using the quick coupling with water-stop (8).
