5. Інструкцыя па эксплуатацыі

Before operation, ensure the device is correctly assembled for your intended use and the pump is fully submerged in water.

5.1. Gravel Cleaning / Sand Washing / Debris Removal

  1. Attach the Gravel Washer, Duckbill Suction Inlet, or 45° Corner Suction Inlet.

  6. For debris, use the duckbill suction inlet with spatula to effectively collect larger particles.
