•
When laying the suction hose, make sure
that it is lower than the pump.
If the suction hose is laid so that it is higher
than the pump, bubbles will be- come
trapped in the line and the pump will suck
air.

ers, etc.).
Filling the garden pump

cause this will cause serious damage to
the pump.

ber of the pump (8) is full.
•
Replace the filler screw (2) and tighten it.
