Initial startup
DANGER
Risk of electric shock and risk of injury!
The device contains electrical and mechanical components.
Always disconnect the device from the power supply before assembling,
disassembling or cleaning.
Note
The shorter the hose length and larger the hose diameter, the higher the pump
capacity.
To avoid clogging the pump, use a pre-filter for hose diameters smaller than 1
¼″.
The pump connection is equipped with a plug-in system (Quick-Connect).
The pipe union with pump connecting piece G 1 ½ and the G 1 threaded
connection are supplied unassembled with the device.
Note
Hoses with a diameter of 1″, 1 ¼″ and 1 ½″ can be connected to the pump
connecting piece G 1 ½.
A sufficiently large hose diameter must be selected and the pump connecting
piece G 1 ½ must be shortened according to the grooves so that the required
particle size can be used. A large hose diameter is also recommended for
smaller particle sizes to allow a high flow volume.
Connect hose to pump if using a 1″, 1 ¼″ or 1 ½″ hose:
-
Screw the pump connecting piece G 1 ½ onto the pipe union.
Illustration B -
Push the hose clamp onto the hose.
-
Push the hose onto the pump connecting piece G 1 ½ and fasten it with a hose clamp.
-
Push the pipe union into the Quick-Connect. Illustration C
Connect hose to pump if using a ¾″ or 1″ hose:
-
Screw the G1 threaded connection onto the pipe union.
Illustration B -
Fit the special accessory pump connecting piece G 1 (6.997-359.0 pump connecting piece G 1 (33.3 mm) incl. check valve – not included in the scope of delivery) onto the G 1 threaded connection:
a Place the check valve on the G 1 threaded connection so that the lettering ‘UP’ is legible.
b Screw the pump connecting piece G 1 onto the G 1 threaded connection. -
Push the hose clamp onto the hose.
-
Push the hose onto the pump connecting piece G 1 and fasten it with a hose clamp.
-
Push the pipe union into the Quick-Connect.
Illustration C
Setting up / immersing the pump:
-
Fold out or in the feet (SP 9,000 Flat).
Illustration D -
Place the pump securely on solid ground in the feed fluid or immerse it by means of a rope attached to the carrying handle.
Note
The suction area must not be blocked by contamination.
If the ground is muddy, place the pump on a brick or something similar. Make sure that the pump is horizontal.
Do not carry the pump using the cable or hose.
Operation
DANGER
Danger of death from electric shock.
Danger of death from electric shock if live parts are touched.
During operation, do not touch the rope attached to the carrying handle or any
objects that are in contact with the pumped liquid (e.g. pipelines protruding
into the pumped liquid, railings) and do not reach into the pumped liquid.
Automatic venting device
1. If the fluid level is low, any sucked-in air, or air present in the pump,
may escape via the automatic venting device. Fluid can also leak along with
air. If the pump has problems with suction when the fluid level is low, unplug
and plug in the mains plug repeatedly
to assist the suction process.
Illustration E
Automatic mode
-
If necessary, fold out the feet, see chapter Initial startup (SP 9,000 Flat).
Note
Folding out the feet is not absolutely necessary, but it does increase the pump capacity. -
Plug the mains plug into a mains socket.
Note
In automatic mode, the float switch controls the pumping process automatically.
The pump switches on as soon as the float switch has reached the switch-on height caused by the rising fluid level.
The pump switches off as soon as the float switch has reached the switch-off height caused by the sinking fluid level.
The float switch must be able to move freely.

Switch-off height cm| 15 / 24| 18 / 30| 18 / 30
- The switching heights vary depending on the position of the float switch.
Manual operation
Note
In manual operation, the pump stays switched on continuously.
For the pump to suction itself in manual mode, the fluid level must be at
least 60 mm (SP 9,500 Dirt and SP 11,000 Dirt) or 7 mm (SP 9,000 Flat).
Note
The pump can pump up to a residual fluid height of 25 mm (SP 9,500 Dirt and SP
11,000 Dirt) or 1 mm (SP 9,000 Flat).
The specified residual fluid heights are only achieved in manual operation.
The float switch must be able to move freely.
-
Fold in the feet, see chapter Initial startup (SP 9,000 Flat).
Note
By folding in the feet, flat suction of the fluid up to 1 mm residual fluid height is possible in manual operation. -
Fasten the float switch in the lock so it points upwards.

** Dry running leads to increased wear on the pump.
Do not leave the pump unattended in manual operation.
In case of dry running, immediately pull the mains plug out of the socket.
- Plug the mains plug into a mains socket.
Finishing operation
-
Pull the mains plug out of the socket.

Troubleshooting guide
Malfunctions often have simple causes that you can remedy yourself using the following overview. When in doubt, or in the case of malfunctions not mentioned here, please contact your authorised Customer Service.
Fault | Cause | Rectification |
---|---|---|
Pump is running, but not delivering | Air is in the pump. | 1. Check for |
correct startup (see chapter
_Initial startup_and Operation).
Dirt particles block the suction area.| 1. Pull the mains plug out of the socket.
2. Clean the suction area.
The fluid level is too low (manual opera- tion), see chapter Technical
data.| 1. Immerse the pump deeper into the feed flu- id, see chapter Manual
operation.
Fault| Cause| Rectification
---|---|---
The pump does not start or stops during opera- tion| The power supply is
disconnected.| 1. Check the fuses and the electrical connec- tions.
The thermal protection switch has switched off the pump because of over-
heating.| 1. Pull the mains plug out of the socket.
2. Allow the pump to cool down.
3. Clean the suction area.
4. Prevent the pump from running dry.
Dirt particles are trapped in the suction area.| 1. Pull the mains plug out of the socket.
2. Clean the suction area.
The float switch switches the pump off.| 1. Automatic mode: Check the position and free movement of the float switch and cor- rect if necessary, see chapter Automatic mode.
2. Manual operation: Attach the float switch correctly, see chapter Manual operation.
The pump capacity drops or is too low| The suction area
is clogged.| 1. Pull the mains plug out of the mains socket and clean the
suction area.
The delivery rate of the pump depends on the delivery head and the connected
periphery.| 1. Observe the maximum delivery height, see chapter Technical
data. If necessary, se- lect a larger hose diameter or shorter hose length.
The cross-section on the pressure side is narrowed, e.g. due to the valve/ball
tap not being fully open.| 1. Fully open the valve / ball tap.
The pressure side hose is kinked.| 1. Eliminate the kink points in the hose.
Quick-Connect cannot be opened| The Quick-Connect plug system is blocked
by contamination.| 1. Remove the clip and clean it.
