9.4 Automatic deblocking

In case of a blocked rotor, the pump will start vibrating

dirt deposits that might prevent the impeller from rotating will be 
broken up swiftly, and the pump will resume normal operation.

work on the product. Make sure that the power 
supply cannot be accidentally switched on.

CAUTION
Pressurised system
