Self-priming from open tanks/containers and
natural water sources
Use the self-priming equipment supplied.
– Intake filter
– 3 m reinforced suction hose
With this accessory the appliance can draw water to max. 1 m above the
water surface. This can take up to 1 minute.
♦ Immerse the 3 m suction hose
completely underwater to get the air
out.
♦ Connect the suction hose
to the appliance and ensure that the
intake filter
remains underwater.
♦ Run the appliance without the hand spray gun
attached until water
flows evenly out of the high-pressure hose
.
If no water flows out after 1 minute, switch the appliance off and
check the appliance. Once the water flows, switch off the appliance
and attach the hand spray gun
and the jet pipe so you can
work.
■ It is important that the hose and coupling are of a good quality, tightly
fitted and that the seals are undamaged and inserted straight. Leaky
connections can impair the suction.
