5. Bruksanvisning
The Aramox SFDHP-G720-01 is a manual pump, requiring physical effort to operate.
- Fyll opp pumpen (om nødvendig): Due to its self-priming nature, manual priming is often not required. However, if the pump struggles to draw water, ensure the inlet hose is fully submerged and free of air pockets.
- Operate the Handle: Grasp the fixed handle firmly. Move the handle back and forth in a steady, rhythmic motion. This action creates suction and discharge, moving water through the pump.
- Overvåk flyt: Continue pumping until the desired amount of water has been removed. The pump delivers up to 12 gallons per minute (45 liters per minute) capacity.
- Etter operasjonen: After use, ensure the pump and hoses are clear of debris.

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable performance of your pump.
- Rutinemessig inspeksjon: Periodically check the pump body, handle, hoses, and connections for any signs of wear, cracks, or leaks.
- Fjern rusk: Ensure the inlet and outlet ports are free from debris that could obstruct flow.
- Diaphragm Access: The pump features an easy-to-remove clamp ring for maintenance and head rotation. If flow reduces or the pump fails to prime, inspect the diaphragm for damage or blockages.
- Rengjøring: Clean the exterior of the pump with fresh water and a mild detergent as needed. Avoid harsh chemicals.
