4. Setup

1. Placement: Position the pump on a stable, level surface, close to the water source and the area to be watered. Ensure it is protected from direct sunlight and rain.
2. Connect Suction Hose: Securely attach the black suction hose to the pump's inlet connection. Ensure all connections are airtight to prevent air intake, which can affect pump performance.
3. Connect Garden Hose: Attach the green garden hose to the pump's outlet connection. Connect the spray nozzle or other watering accessories to the other end of the garden hose.
4. Prime the Pump: Before first use, or if the pump has run dry, fill the pump housing completely with water through the designated filling opening until water overflows. This is crucial for proper operation.
5. Power Connection: Plug the pump into a suitable 230 Volt power outlet.

5. Operating Instructions

Once set up, operating the pump is straightforward:

1. Ensure the suction hose is fully submerged in the water source.
2. Turn on the pump using the On/Off switch. The pump will begin to draw water and build pressure.
3. Direct the spray nozzle or watering accessory towards the area to be watered.
4. After use, turn off the pump using the On/Off switch and disconnect it from the power supply.
