Connecting the hoses and nozzles
The following conditions must be met:
•
Allow the dirty water to drain out into a drain or far enough away from the pond to ensure
that it cannot flow back into the pond.
•
Completely unwind the power and extension cable.
–
Ensure that the cables are not bundled together or coiled up.
How to proceed:
 I
1. Attach the discharge hose to the outlet and twist it clockwise (bayonet closure).
–
If only coarse dirt particles >1 mm (e.g. leaves or hair) are to be removed, you can allow the
waste water to flow back into the pond / pool via the fine filter bag.
–
Do not allow muddy water to flow back into the pond / pool.
2. Attach the suction hose to the inlet.
3. Fit extension tubes and the desired nozzle to the suction hose with handle.
–
Universal nozzle: For removing pond sludge without vacuuming up the pond gravel.
–
Algae nozzle: For separating and removing string algae.
–
Brush nozzle: For removing stubborn dirt.
–
Surface cleaning nozzle: For cleaning large, smooth surfaces.
–
Wet suction nozzle: For removing dirty or residual water for operation as a wet vacuum
cleaner

The more tubes are used, the higher the tube frictional resistance. This leads to a reduction
of the suction capacity.
Operation
NOTE
The unit and seals are subjected to excessive strain if the vacuum cleaner is moved when the
tank is full.

Empty the tank before moving the vacuum cleaner.

Set up the vacuum cleaner on ground that is not much higher than the water level to avoid
impairing the suction capacity.
•
Switch on the vacuum cleaner at the power switch.
•
The suction power can be adjusted with the slide in the suction hose handle.
–
To increase the suction: Move the slide forwards.
–
To reduce the suction: Move the slide backwards.
•
Clean the vacuum cleaner after each use.
–
Recommendation: Vacuum up clean water before cleaning. This will wash out the dirt parti-
cles.
