fig. B and and chapter “Operations” fig. D
Suction area blocked| Pull out the mains plug and clean the suction area
Suction hose or connection adapter not screwed in correctly or completely.| Manually tighten the suction hose and the connection adapter.
Pump does not run or suddenly comes to a standstill during opera- tions| Power supply interrupted| Check fuses and electrical connec- tions

Subject to technical modifications!
The max. flow rate is derived from the measurement without the backflow valve installed

The possible delivery rate is even larger:

• the smaller the suction and delivery heights are.
• the larger the diameter of the hoses used are.
• the shorter the hoses used are.
• the less loss of pressure is caused by the connected accessories.
