A decrease in suction power can have the following causes:
•
The pump plug (2 .3) of the sewage pump (2 .4) is not plugged into the socket (1 .2) on the suction head (1 .1) .
•
The seal of the suction head (1) does not seal properly, which is why the vacuum in the device is disturbed and air is
sucked in .
•
The net bag (2 .8) in the tank is too full . Switch off the device by using the on/off switch (1 .1) and disconnect the power
connection by unplugging the mains plug (1 .3) . Open the closure clips (2 .6) and remove the suction head (1) from the tank
(2) . Remove the net bag and empty it .
•
The suction opening of the sewage pump (2 .1) is blocked . Switch off the device by using the on/off switch (1 .1) and
disconnect the power connection by unplugging the mains plug (1 .3) . Open the closure clips (2 .6) and remove the suction
head (1) from the tank (2) . Now follow the instructions for cleaning the sewage pump in section 6 .2 .2 .
The device tips over during use:
•
Immediately and without delay pull out the mains plug (1 .3)!
•
Set the device back to its original position and press the on/off switch (1 .1) once .
•
Open the closure clips (2 .6) on the suction head (1) and remove the suction head (1) to empty out any remaining water
and dirt in the tank (2) . Make sure that the pump plug (2 .3) does not come into contact with water and dirt .
•
Before resuming work by switching on the device by using the on/off switch (1 .1), make sure that no liquid has entered
the suction head (1) .
Other possible problems:
•
The suction hose (3) is blocked . Check and remove the foreign objects .
•
The drain hose (4) is blocked . Check and remove the foreign objects .
•
The cleaning attachment (6, 7) is blocked . Check and remove the foreign objects .
•
The delivery height is too high for the sewage pump (2 .4) or the drain hose (4) lies too steeply uphill .
•
The suction height is too high . Place the device at a lower location closer to the water surface .
