Turn the stand (1) in anti-clockwise direction and pull off the stand (bayonet closure).
Ensure that the filter (29) has been inserted correctly.
Screw the stand (1) back on.

The pump must not be operated without filter (29). Automatic bleeding: This pump is equipped with a bleed valve that eliminates any air pockets that may be present in the pump. Due to its function, a small amount of water can leak in the upper area of the pump.

Water regulation

The water flow can be regulated via the regulating and shut-off valve (22).

Cleaning

Remove the battery pack before each cleaning.
Do not clean the product with a water jet (especially high-pressure jet).
