Do not spray the outlet towards
people or animals.
This appliance is not intended for
use by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of
the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
Before installation, and
whenever you are handling the
pump, always disconnect from
the electrical supply.
To prevent injury, never put your
fingers into the mouth of the pump.
• Use the handle provided to carry or
lift the pump
• When used with a Water Butt for the
first time, ensure the water butt is
emptied and cleaned of all sediment,
leaves and accumulated debris.
Pump assembly :
Attach the metal baseplate to the
pump with the bolts and washers
supplied
Screw one of the yellow accessory
adaptors to the inlet of the pump
Screw the filter onto the adaptor.
The arrow on the filter should
point towards the pump.
Remove filter adaptor from hose
and attach the suction hose to the
filter
Ensure that the inlet to the suction
hose is at least 150mm (6") under
the surface of the water. If required
weight the end of the hose using a
brick.
It is critical that all the seals are
present and that all the joints are
airtight.
There should be no elbows or
kinks in the suction hose as this
will affect performance.
The installation should be
consistant with the limitations as
shown in diagrams A & B on the
cover of this booklet.
Fill the pump chamber to the brim
with tap water using a watering can.
The Hozelock garden pumps are
self priming, therefore they can be
primed without filling the suction
pipe or filter.
Attach the outlet connector to the
outlet of the pump.
Connect the garden hose to the
outlet, ensuring that the other end
of the garden hose is open and that
it will be free to drain when the
pump is turned on.
Ensure that the suction hose is
under the surface of a suitable
water reservoir (water butt etc.).
Plug the pump into a suitable power
supply.
When the power is turned on, the
pump will start the priming process.
This operation can take several
minutes. During the priming process
the pump is pumping a mixture of
air and water, this drastically reduces
the performance of the pump and is
very noisy.
When the pump is primed and ready
to use, the noise reduces and the
flow and pressure are maximised.
If any of the seals or fittings are
missing, overtightened or loose
the pump will not prime.
If the pump does not prime after 5
