Always wear ear protection.
The declared values for vibration and noise, which have been measured according to a standardised test method, can be used to compare different tools with each other and for a preliminary assessment of exposure. The measurement values have been determined in accordance with EN ISO 3744:1995.

WARNING: The actual vibration and noise level when using tools may differ from the specified maximum value, depending on how the tool is used and the material. It is therefore necessary to determine which safety precautions are required to protect the user, based on an estimate of exposure in actual operating conditions (taking into account all stages of the work cycle, e.g. the time when the tool is switched off and when it is idling, in addition to the start-up time).

DESCRIPTION

Energy-saving fully automatic hydrophore pump that with its 600 W delivers an impressive flow of 3100 l/h and is perfect for a fully automatic water supply or circulation under constant pressure. Complete with manometer. Max water temperature 35°C.

PUMPABLE LIQUIDS

Processed water
Well water
Water from spring
Rainwater
Pool water (on the assumption that additives are correctly dosed)

PRODUCT PARTS

Power cord and plug
Water inlet
Water outlet
Mechanical pressure switch
Pressure gauge
Cap over refill opening FIG. 1

USE

BEFORE USE

Check that the mains voltage corresponds to the rated voltage on the type plate.
It is recommended to use a pre-filter and intake system with suction hose, inlet grille and non-return valve to prevent slow filling of water and damage to the pump from stones and other solid particles.

Remove the product from the packaging and place it on a level, stable surface. Fix in place with screws (sold separately) if necessary. FIG. 2
Connect the suction hose to the water inlet and the outlet hose to the water outlet. FIG. 3
Open the refill opening cap and fill with water until it runs over. Replace the cover.
NOTE: Even minor leakage can lead to malfunction. FIG. 4
Plug in the plug and start the pump.
NOTE: The preset start pressure is 1.5 bar and the preset stop pressure is 3 bar. This is suitable for most installations. Any adjustment should be carried out by qualified personnel. FIG. 5
Switch off the product and pull out the plug after use. Drain the water from the product by opening the drain on the pump. The water in the tank can also be drained as shown in the figure.FIG. 6

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Switch off the product and pull out the plug before maintenance and/or cleaning.

NOTE:

The system is pressurised.
After opening the refill cap or the drain, and before releasing the connecting hoses, open the shut-off valve on the outlet side and drain the water from the system with a drain cock (sold separately).

REPAIRS: Any repairs and replacement of spare parts should be carried out by an authorised service centre, otherwise there is a risk of personal injury and/or material damage. Switch off the product and pull out the plug before working on the product.
STORAGE: Store the product in a frost-free place.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem	Cause	Action

The product runs, but delivers no water.

| Air in the pump.| See section on preparations.
Air does not come out on the outlet side.| Open the tap on the outlet side.

The product does not work, or suddenly stops when running.

| Power supply disconnected.| Check fuses and connections.
The overheating protection trips and switches off the product.| Pull out the plug, allow the product to cool, and clear the intake system. Prevent dry running.

The motor starts again immediately after switching off.

| ****

The pressure in the system drops quickly.

| Check all the connections and seals, and check the water outlet. Even very minor leakage has an adverse effect.
Air pressure too low in the storage tank.| Adjust the air pressure in the storage tank to 2.0 bar.
The non-return valve does not close properly.| Check the non-return valve on the suction side.
The diaphragm in the pressure tank is damaged.| Replace the diaphragm.

The transported amount of water is too little.

| The inlet filter is dirty, or the non-return valve does not close properly.| Clean the inlet filter or non-return valve.
The transported amount of water depends on the total lifting height and the arrangement of the lines.| Do not exceed the maximum permitted lifting height as per section on technical data. Use lines with another diameter and/ or length.
The pre-filter is dirty.| Remove the filter and clean under running water.
Vibrating noise when water is taken out.| The diaphragm in the pressure tank vibrates.| Noise can be reduced by reducing the air pressure in the storage tank.
