When used as self-priming
Attaching the Self suction kit
1. Attaching the water suction filter to the water supply port.
• If the water supply hose (3) or the water connectors (7)
are attached, remove them. (Fig.16)
WARNING! The water supply hose (3) and the water
connectors (7) is not used in self suction mode.
WARNING! Before attaching the self suction kit,
thoroughly clean the water suction filter (13), the main
unit filter (18), and the strainer (). Accumulation of
sand, dirt and other debris may result in decreased
pressure and damage to the unit. (Fig.33, 3, 3)
• Attach the water suction filter (13) by screwing it onto
the connection port. (Fig.17)
WARNING!
a. Ensure that the water supply port and water suction
filter unit contain filters (18, 1). Without filters,
foreign matter may enter and damage the pump.
b. Rubber washers (3, ) are attached inside the
water connectors and inside the water suction filter.
Be careful not to lose these washers when removing
them.
c. Failure to draw water after the water suction hose
has been connected, leakage after water flow has
been initiated, or seepage under the main unit may
be caused by the following:
• The water suction filter connection is loose.
• The water suction filter is not securely connected
to the connection port.
• Leakage between the filter case and the rubber
washer is occurring due to the improper insertion
of the filter unit into the water suction filter.
If any of the above situations have been discovered,
remove the water suction filter from the main unit and
reattach it according to the following instructions.
Loosen the filter cap and ensure that the filter unit
has been properly inserted into the filter case.
(Fig.17-1)
After ensuring that the filter unit has been properly
inserted into the filter case, thread the filter cap
directly onto the filter case and securely tighten.
(Fig.17-)
Thread the water suction filter directly onto the
main unit connection port and securely tighten.
(Fig.17)
If water continues to leak, ensure that all of the
connections have been securely tightened.
. Attaching the water suction hose to the water suction
filter (Fig. 18)
Insert the water suction hose (1) straight onto the
water suction filter (13) and turn the link clockwise to
fasten. Ensure that the link is tightened securely.
3. Connect the transparent hose (1) to the valve dial (19).
(Fig.19)
Connect the spray handle () and nozzles ( or 6) in the same
manner as when using water from the faucet (Fig. - Fig.9)
Suction Height
Maximum suction height is 1 meter (3 feet). Make sure that
the suction height is under 1 meter (3 feet)
WARNING! Damage to the unit may result from exceeding
a suction height of 1 meter (3 feet).
About Suction Height
• Suction height (A) is the distance between the water
level (B) and the highest point of the water suction hose
(C)when the water supply port (D) is below the water
suction hose (1). (Fig.0)
• Suction height is the distance between the water supply
port (D) and the water level (B) when the height of the
water supply port (D) is the same as the highest point of
the water suction hose. (Fig.1)
Before Getting Started
WARNING!
Filter all foreign matter (sand, dirt, debris, etc) from
the water source before using it for self suction.
Decreased pressure and damage to the unit may result
from filters that are clogged with debris.
1. Place the strainer () into the water source. (Fig.)
. Place the end of the transparent hose (1) into the
water source onto the surface to be sprayed. (Fig.)
3. Open the valve dial (19) by turning the knob
counterclockwise. (Fig.3)
. Ensure that the main switch (16) is in the OFF position.
Plug in the power cord.
. Turn on the main switch (Fig. )
6. Turn off the main switch if water begins leaking from
the transparent hose or if air bubbles disappear from
inside the hose. (Fig.)
7. Close the valve dial (19) knob by turning it clockwise.
(Fig. )
A small amount of water may continue to flow out after
the valve dial has been closed.
Operating the Unit
1. Fully pull out the spray handle hose ().
. Release the spray handle safety lock button (17).
(Fig.31-A)
3. Turn on the main switch while depressing the spray
handle trigger. (Fig.6)
. Operate the unit by depressing the spray handle
trigger. (Fig.7)
The motor stops when the spray handle trigger is
released.
When the trigger is depressed, the motor resumes and
pressurized spray is ejected from the nozzle.
WARNING!
• During initial use, the spray stream may be
intermittent and erratic while accumulated air is
being dispelled from within the pump and spray
handle hose. When this occurs, continue to depress
the trigger until the spray stream stabilizes.
• Be sure to turn the main switch to the OFF position
when leaving the unit unattended.
• When spraying, ensure that the spray handle trigger
is always depressed and released for intervals
lasting longer than 3 seconds in duration.
Malfunction of the pressure switch may occur from
spray intervals lasting less than 3 seconds.
