5.3 Positioning of the product

The pump can only be used in a vertical position. See
the figure below.
Position of the pump
When the pipe or hose has been connected, place

In case of a permanent installation, the pit must be
cleared of pebbles and other hard materials before
the pump is installed in order to prolong the operating
time of the knife inside the pump.
