Proper use

The equipment you have purchased is designed to pump water with a maximum temperature of 35 °C. This equipment must never be used for other liquids, especially not for engine fuels, cleaning agents and other chemically-based products!
The equipment can be used wherever you want to move water, e.g. in the house, in the garden, and for many other applications. It must not be used to operate swimming pools!
If you want to use the equipment in bodies of water with a natural, muddy bottom, place the equipment in a slightly elevated position, e.g. on bricks.

The equipment is not designed for continuous operation, e.g. as a circulating pump in a pond. In this case the equipment’s anticipated life will be greatly shortened because the equipment was not designed for continuous loading.
The equipment is to be used only for its prescribed purpose.
Any other use is deemed to be a case of misuse.
The user /operator and not the manufacturer will be liable for any damage or injuries of any kind caused as a result of this.
Please note that our equipment has not been designed for use in commercial, trade or industrial applications. Our warranty will be voided if the machine is used in commercial, trade or industrial businesses or for equivalent purposes.
The water may be contaminated by escaping lubricating oil/lubricant.

Before starting the equipment

Before you connect the equipment to the mains supply make sure that the data on the rating plate are identical to the mains data.
5.1 Installation
The equipment can be installed either:

• Stationary with a rigid pipe line
  or

• Stationary with a flexible hose line

The maximum pumping rate is possible only with the largest possible line diameter; if smaller hoses or pipes are connected, the pumping rate will be reduced. If the universal hose connection is used, it should be shortened (as shown in Fig. 10) to the connection actually used in order not to reduce the pumping rate unnecessarily. Flexible hoses must be fastened to the universal hose connection with a hose clip (not included in the scope of supply).
The non-return valve (Fig. 10/Item 13) prevents the water in the hose flowing back when the pump is switched off . The use of the non-return valve reduces the maximum delivery rate.

Venting:
Water might escape from the vent opening during operation.
Please note!
When installing, never hang the equipment by the discharge line or by the power cable. The equipment must be hung up by the provided carry handle or suspension eyelet, or it must rest on the bottom of the shaft. To ensure that the equipment works properly, the bottom of the shaft always must be free of sludge and other accumulations of dirt. If the water level is too low, the sludge in the shaft can quickly dry out and hinder the equipment from starting. It is necessary therefore to check the equipment regularly (carry out trial start-ups).
The pump shaft should be large enough.

5.2 Fitting the battery box (Fig. 3)
Important! Do not immerse the battery box in the water!
The battery box can be fi tted in various diff erent ways:

• Wall mounting: There are two mounting holes at the back of the battery box (10 cm apart).
  Screw two screws securely into the wall and attach the battery box to them.

• Container mounting: Fasten the fastening hook to the mounting holes provided for the purpose at the back of the battery box. You can then attach the battery box to the outside of a container.

• The battery box does not have to be permanently fastened.
  You can also set it down outside the water.

You can wind the power cable up on the integrated cable rewind of the battery box (Fig. 4).
– Caution!
– Only wind up the power cable loosely during operation.

5.3 Fitting the battery (Fig. 5)
Open the battery cover. To do so, open the locking hook on the battery cover and swing up the cover.
Press the side pushlock button of the battery pack as shown in Fig. 5 and push the battery pack into the mount provided.
Make sure that the pushlock button engages properly.
To remove the battery pack, proceed in reverse order. Close the battery cover by swinging the cover down and close the locking hook.

5.4 Charging the battery (Figure 6)

1. Take the battery pack out of the equipment.
   Do this by pressing the pushlock button.

2. Check that your mains voltage is the same as that marked on the rating plate of the battery charger. Insert the power plug of the charger into the socket outlet. The green LED will then begin to flash.

3. Insert the battery pack into the battery charger.

4. In the section entitled „Charger indicator“ you will fi nd a table with an explanation of the LED indicator on the charger.

The battery pack can become a little warm during the charging. This is normal.
If the battery pack fails to charge, check:

• whether there is voltage at the socket outlet
• whether there is good contact at the charging contacts

If the battery pack still fails to charge, send

• the charging unit
• and the battery pack to our customer service center.

To ensure that items are properly packaged and delivered when you send them to us, please contact our customer service or the point of sale at which the equipment was purchased.
When shipping or disposing of batteries and cordless tools, always ensure that they are packed individually in plastic bags to prevent short circuits and fires.

To ensure that the battery pack provides long service, you should take care to recharge it promptly.
You must recharge the battery pack when you notice that the performance of the device drops.
Never allow the battery pack to become fully discharged.
This will cause it to develop a defect.

5.5 Battery capacity indicator (Fig. 7)
Press the button for the battery capacity indicator (Item A). The battery capacity indicator (Item B) shows the charge status of the battery using 3 LEDs.
All 3 LEDs are lit:
The battery is fully charged.
2 or 1 LED(s) are lit:
The battery has an adequate remaining charge.
1 LED flashes:
The battery is empty, recharge the battery.

All LEDs blink:
The battery temperature is too low. Remove the battery from the equipment, keep it at room temperature for one day. If the fault reoccurs, this means that the rechargeable
battery has undergone exhaustive discharge and is defective.
Remove the battery from the equipment.
Never use or charge a defective battery.

Operation

You can put the equipment into operation after you have thoroughly read the installation and operating instructions.

Pay attention to the following points:

• Make sure that the equipment is set up securely.
• Check that the discharge line is fitted correctly.
• Lower the pump into the well or shaft using a securing cable, or hang it inside the rainwater barrel.
• The pump will start automatically after you have pressed the pump setting switch (7).
• Take care that the pump does not run dry.
• To switch off the pump, press the pump mode selector switch so that it is in “0” position.

Shallow suction mode (Fig. 8)

• Turn the equipment clockwise and press it to the bottom.
• In shallow suction mode, water can be sucked up down to a level of 1 mm.
• Only clear water can be sucked up in shallow suction mode.

Dirty water mode (Fig. 9)

• Pull up the equipment by the handle and turn it counter-clockwise as far as the stop.

Switching on the pump:
The pump has a pump setting switch (7) on the
battery box (6).
Switch position 0: Off
Switch position I: Pump setting 1 (ECO)
Switch position II: Pump setting 2 (BOOST)
Important!
Selecting pump setting 2 will increase the maximum delivery pressure and the maximum delivery rate, but it will also reduce the maximum operating time of the battery as the result.
Dry-run safeguard:
The pump is equipped with a dry-run safeguard and will switch off after approx. 20 seconds of no medium being pumped. Switch off the pump with the On/Off switch (7) or remove the battery in order to reset the triggered dry-run safeguard.
Then the pump will be fully functional again. When you start up the pump, check that the minimum level of water is available.
