Remedy:
Clean the compressed air hose.
The pump does not start up or stops suddenly during operation.
Cause:
Power supply interrupted
Remedy:
Check whether the battery is correctly inserted.
Cause:
Battery can no longer be charged
Remedy:
Battery must be replaced with a new one.
Cause:
Thermal protection switch in the motor has switched off the pump due to overheating of the motor.

Pump capacity decreases
Cause:
Suction area clogged
Remedy:

Pumping capacity too low
Cause:
The pump capacity of the pump depends on the lifting height, hose diameter and hose length.
Remedy:
Observe max. lifting height, see technical data, if necessary select other hose diameter or other hose length.
The circuit breaker of the HP pump has triggered
Cause:
The current of the pump was too high.
Remedy:
Push the button on the back of the edge bracket holder of the circuit breaker back in so that the circuit breaker is reset.
