Screw the connection adapter into the suction connection of the pump (inlet). Manually tighten.
Connect a vacuum-tight suction hose

Illustration B

Note
If the water is dirty, we recommend fitting a pre-filter (see Special accessories) between the check valve and the suction hose.

Illustration C

Note
To shorten the re-suction time, use a suction hose with backflow stop. This prevents the suction hose from emptying after use (see Special accessories).

Screw the connection adapter into the pressure connection of the pump (outlet). Manually tighten.
Illustration D
Open the filling nozzle cap.
Illustration E
Fill the pump with water until it overflows.
