Should the suction capacity decrease, it is necessary to clean the debris collection bag.The discharge pump continuously pumps the dirty water out of the tank via the discharge hose.The float in the filter support basket protects the vacuum head from the ingress of water. Clean the foam filter regularlyto ensure perfect function of the vacuum cleaner. Ensure that the float can move freely.Protective function of the float: If the dirty water level in the tank rises inadmissibly, the float closes the intake in the vacuum head and switches thevacuum head off.– If the float unblocks the intake within 15 s, the vacuum head will switch on automatically. Otherwise the vacuumcleaner will switch off completely and a warning signal will sound.– If the float closes the intake three times within 60 s, the vacuum cleaner will switch off completely and a warningsignal will sound.– The vacuum cleaner may only be restarted by switching it off and on after remedy of the malfunction.Intended usePondoVac 5, referred to in the following as "unit", may only be used as specified in the following: For pond sludge removal.
