GETTING STARTED
Storing Your Water Pump
The socket lid must be closed while not in use.
The pump must be removed from the socket before moving the caravan.
The pump must be stored in a cool, dry place when not in use.
When refilling your water container, the pump can be placed as shown to keep it clean.
For efficient running and maximum pump life:
• Ensure there is sufficient water in the container.
• Ensure continuous operation does not exceed 15 minutes.
• Ensure all pipework connections are secure and watertight.
• Ensure the power supply is adequate.
• Keep o-rings well lubricated to aid connection and removal of the plug. Use a water-based
lubricant such as silicone grease. Vaseline
must not be used.
• Clean electric contact strips often.
• Shake pump to expel air before dropping it into the water container and connecting the plug.
