Before Startup

• Screw the hose connection on to the pump
• Connect the hose connection to the hose coupling of the drum edge holder.

DANGER
Risk of mortal danger on account of electric shock!Do not touch the feed fluid and the rope fastened to the carrying handle during operation.

NOTICE

• The liquid level must at least be 3 cm for the pump to suck in liquids independently.
• If the prerequisites for the pump operation are met (wa-ter level, position / level switch), the pump will start im-mediately after the mains plug has been plugged in.

Comfort operation
In order to run the pump independently of the water lev-el, the level switch must be mounted inside the housing. Illustration

• Screw the housing bowl and the O-ring onto the drum edge holder.
• Place the level switch into the housing bowl.
• Press the housing cover down onto the housing bowl until it locks. Illustration
• Slide the drum edge holder onto the container edge until it is properly seated.Illustration
• Place the pump on a stabil surface in the liquid to be transported. Immerse it using a rope tied to the handle or hang it into the container by the hose. The suction area should not be blocked fully or par-tially through the impurities.Illustration
• Close locking tap (arrow horizontal).
• Insert the mains plug into the socket.
• Rotate the housing with the level switch in the ar-row direction “ON”.
• The pump will turn on.
• Open the locking tap to remove water (arrow verti-cal).

Automatic operation

In the automatic mode, the level switch automatically controls the pumping operations. The pump switches on or off when the fluid level reaches the height that has been set.
Ensure that the level sensor is not obstructed in any way. Illustration

• In automatic operation, set the required switching height by clamping the level switch cable into the stopper.
• Open the locking tap to remove water (arrow vertical).
• Insert the mains plug into the socket.

Manual operation

In manual operations the pump remains switched on continuously. Illustration

• In manual operations mode, align the level sensor upward (cable pointing downward). Tip: Push the cable of the level sensor like a loop through the handle.
• Open the locking tap to remove water (arrow vertical).

Insert the mains plug into the socket.

NOTICE
Dry running leads to increased wear and tear; do not leave the pump unattended during manual operation. Switch off the pump within 3 minutes of dry running.

Finish operation

NOTICE: Soiling can deposit and lead to malfunctions.

• Rinse the pump with clean water after use. This especially applies after pumping chlorinated water or other liquids that leave residue.
• Rotate the housing with the level switch in the ar-row direction “OFF”. The pump will turn off.
• Disconnect the main plug from the socket.

Maintenance

The pump is maintenace-free.

plug of the pump a few times till the fluid gets sucked
Suction area blocked| Pull out the mains plug and clean the suction area
(only in manual mode) Water level be- low the minimum water level| Immerse the pump deeper into the liquid, if possible.
Pressure hose is blocked| Pull out the mains plug and clean the pressure hose
Locking tap is closed (arrow horizontal).| Open the locking tap (arrow vertical).
Pump does not run or suddenly comes to a standstill during opera- tions| Power supply interrupted| Check fuses and electrical connections
Thermal protection switch in the motor has switched off the pump as it was overheated.| Pull out the mains plug, let the pump cool down, clean the suction area, prevent dry running
Dirt particles have got jammed into the suction area| Pull out the mains plug and clean the suction area
Pump operation stopped by sensor| Check position of level sensor
Pumping capacity is re- ducing| Suction area blocked| Pull out the mains plug and clean the suction area
Pumping capacity too low| The pumping capacity depends on the flow height, hose diameter and hose length.| Keep max. flow height, see technical data. If neces- sary, select a different hose diameter or hose length.
