•If the pump capacity lessens clean suction strainer and filter cartridge (if installed), replace if necessary.

7.2Danger of freezing

A Caution!

Frost damages the pump and accessories, as both always contain water!

•When there is danger of freezing, dismount equipment and accesso- ries and store at a freeze-proof loca- tion (see below).

7.3Equipment dismounting and storing

1.Switch equipment OFF and unplug.

2.Open pressure line (open tap or spray nozzle) and drain water com- pletely.

3.Drain pump completely; to do so remove the drain plug from the pump

4.Disconnect suction and pressure lines from the equipment.

5.Store equipment in a frost-free space (at least 5 °C).

8.Trouble Shooting

ADanger!Prior to all servicing:
