Problem Possible Cause Remedy
Pump runs, but the suction
action doesn’t take place
Pump sucks in air at a joint.
v Seal connections on suction
side so are airtight.
Leaky or damaged suction
hose.
v Check suction line for damage
and seal so is airtight.
The pump was not filled with
the liquid to be pumped.
v Fill the pump
(see “4. Operation”).
The liquid escapes over the
hose which is connected to
the delivery side during the
suction action.
1. Fill the pump again
(see “4. Operation”).
2. When starting operation hold
the pressure hose approx.
1m vertically above the

side is closed or remaining water
is in the pressure hose.
v Open shut-off valves
(e. g. nozzle) in the delivery
line, empty the delivery hose
or disconnect it from the
pump during priming.
The waiting time wasn’t
observed.
v Switch on the pump and wait
up to 5 min.
Suction filter or backflow prevent-
er in the suction hose clogged.
v Clean the filter or the back
flow preventer.
