ASSEMBLY AND PREPARATION
ASSEMBLY AND PREPARATION OF THE ADAPTERS
- ASSEMBLY
- The PUMP XL will be delivered already fully assembled.
- The only thing you have to do is attach the required adapters depending on the situation.
- In case you find attaching the adapters difficult, we recommend leaving the adapters in warm water for a few minutes.
- The inclined end of the adapter is meant to face the drain. The straight side attaches to the outlet nozzle.
PREPARATION
Before starting to use the device, pick a suitable extension for the drain you would like to work on, and attach it at the front of the outlet nozzle.
- Small adapter: Suitable for a sink or shower basin
- Outer diameter: 95mm
- Inner diameter: 70mm
- Length: 4.5cm
- Large adapter: Suitable for toilets and outlets that are difficult to access
- Outer diameter: 95mm
- Inner diameter: 70mm
- Length: 20cm
For optimal pressure and results, make sure that all pipes and drains are filled with water. Close the drain and fill the basin with 5 to 8 cm of water. You may use a towel or something similar to seal the outlets.
- Attention: Please ensure the siphon is supported to avoid damage. You may use a bucket or box for this.
APPLICATION
- Seal any spillover, if necessary.
- Select and attach the suitable rubber adapter first. The small adapter is meant for easily accessible drains (sink, shower), and the large one is for drains with difficult accessibility (toilets, etc.).
- Please be aware that there are two different manners to dissolve a blockage. Before you start, ensure that there is enough water in the drain and basin (sink, shower) that needs to be cleaned.
- Usually, the cause for the blockage sits just at the beginning of the drain. In this case, we recommend you attach the adapter flush with the drain and abruptly pull the handle up. This handling solves most blockages.
- If you are not satisfied with the result, repeat step 3.1 in combination with pushing down abruptly. This enables you to remove the blockage upwards as well as downwards. The downward-push-motion tears the blockage apart (see illustration) and pushes it right into the sewer. This handling of the blockage is quick. Within minutes, the blockage will be a thing of the past.
- Afterwards, we recommend you rinse the pump and the adapter with warm water. Doing this properly guarantees a long life span of the pump and reliable future results.
- Important: Please loosen the adjustable handle after each use! Otherwise, the handle will exert high pressure on the pipe over time possibly causing it to break.

Note on the warranty promise § 477 BGB according to German law
- Completely independent of this manufacturer’s warranty and whether the prescribed warranty is claimed in the warranty case or not, the statutory warranty claims of the consumer against the respective seller exist unrestrictedly.
- At your own free choice, therefore, without asserting the warranty claims, the legally regulated buyer’s rights due to defects in the purchased item, in particular subsequent performance, withdrawal, reduction of the purchase price or damages (see § 437 BGB) and the corresponding separate limitation periods in § 438 BGB can be asserted against the seller.
- The warranty applies without prejudice to mandatory legal liability provisions.
Liability

Exclusion Period Limitation
- Claims under the warranty must be asserted immediately, but at the latest 2 months after becoming aware of an error. After the expiry of this period, the assertion of rights under the warranty is excluded.
