clip, plug stepped hose connection into the pump outlet, tighten the union nut, then connect the other
end of the hose to the water filter.
Connection to the skimmer
Plug the union nut over the stepped hose connection, fasten the hose to the skimmer filter on the
stepped hose connection, insert he latter into the inlet regulator of the strainer casing, then fasten
union nut.
Attention! If you operate the pump in the strainer casing when submerged, ensure that the
skimmer is always connected to the inlet regulator or that the inlet regulator is completely
closed ("0" position)!
The power supply must be disconnected to switch off the unit.
