Installation site and connection

• Operate the product in a way that it cannot be reached by children.

• The use of the product near garden ponds, wells, swimming pools, fountains or similar is permitted only if the product is operated via a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) with a rated leakage current of <= 30 mA.
  In Austria, the product may be operated in the vicinity of swimming pools and garden ponds only if a suitable ÖVE-tested safety isolating transformer is connected upstream in addition to the ground fault circuit interrupter.

• In the place of operation the ambient temperature must not be around or under the freezing point (<=0 °C). Otherwise, the water freezes in the pump; ice build-up destroys the pump. Store the product in a dry place above freezing point during winter.

• If you use an extension cable or if it is required to lay cables to the pump, they must not have a smaller cross-section than the pump itself. Use only extension cables with a protective earth contact suitable for outdoor use.

• Make sure that electrical plug connectors are located in areas protected against flooding, otherwise, there is a risk of fatal electric shock! If necessary, use a suitable waterproof protective housing for plug connectors.

• Protect the mains plug against moisture! Never plug in or unplug the product when your hands are wet. There is a risk of a fatal electric shock!

• Protect the power cord of the pump from cold/heat, oil/gasoline and sharp edges; do not step on the power cord, do not drive on it (for example, a garden cart, bicycle, car). Never bend the power cord or place objects on it.

• The power cord or the mains plug must not be cut off.

Operation

• Only clear, clean fresh water with a maximum temperature of +35 °C is allowed as the pumped liquid.

• The product is not suitable for the conveyance of drinking water.

• The product is not suitable for conveying corrosive/erosive, flammable or explosive liquids (such as gasoline, heating oil, cellulose thinner), fats, oils, salt water or waste water from toilet facilities.

• The mains socket to which the pump is connected must be easily accessible. The power cord should face down from the mains socket to prevent water from returning to the mains socket.

• Place the pump on a flat, level, stable, and sufficiently large surface. Protect sensitive surfaces against scratches, pressure marks and possible water leakage using a suitable pad.
  The pump must always be operated standing on its bottom, other operating positions are now allowed.

• The product is not protected against dry run.

• The product must not be operated unattended.

• The product must not be operated continuously.

• The product must not be used in or near explosive liquids or gases, there is a danger of explosion!

• Consequential damage that may occur due to a malfunction or fault in the pump must be prevented by suitable measures (for example, water level gauges, sensors, alarm devices, reserve pump or similar).

• Only use the product in temperate climates. It is not suitable for use in tropical climates.

• Do not shut off the outlet side of the pump when in operation. Use e.g. a corresponding pressure switch that cuts off power supply to the pump in good time.
  The pump must not be operated against the closed pressure side for more than 5 minutes to avoid dam-age. The water in the pump heats up within just 5 minutes. Beware of the hot water discharged from the open pressure side to avoid the risk of scalding/injury!

• Always check the entire product for damaged housing and power cord/mains plug before using it. If you discover any damages, you must not use the product.
  If the product is already connected to the mains voltage, first disconnect the corresponding mains socket from all poles by switching off the circuit breaker or unscrewing the fuse and then switching off the as-sociated ground fault circuit interrupter.
  Only now unplug the mains plug of the pump from the mains socket. Discontinue use and take the product to a specialist repair centre.
  Never attempt repairs yourself, entrust them to a specialist!

• If it is assumed that safe operation is no longer possible, the pump must be shut down and secured against inadvertent operation by pulling the mains plug out of the mains socket. It must be assumed that safe operation is no longer possible if:

  • the pump and the connecting cables show visible damages
  • the pump does not operate any longer
  • the pump was transported or stored under unfavourable conditions
  • it was exposed to heavy loads during transport.

• Always disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket when you stop using the product, when faults must be rectified or when cleaning or maintenance must be carried out.

• Do not pull the mains plug out of the mains socket by pulling on the cable. Always pull the mains plug out of the mains socket by holding it only by the side gripping surfaces. Never touch the mains plug when your hands are damp or wet. Danger of a life-threatening electric shock!

• Never carry the product by the power cord.

• Bringing the product from a cold room to a warm one (e.g. during transport) can cause condensate formation (on the mains plug). This poses a risk of fatal electric shock! Therefore, allow the product to warm up to room/ambient temperature before using it or connecting to the mains supply. This may take several hours.

Placing the pump

• Place the pump on a flat, level, stable, and sufficiently large surface. Protect sensitive surfaces against scratches, pressure marks and possible water leakage using a suitable pad.
  The pump must always be operated standing on its bottom, other operating positions are now allowed.
  Never place the pump in or under water, as this may cause fatal electric shock! Never place the pump in a flood prone area.
  Maintain a minimum distance of 3.5 m between the pump and the swimming pool.

• Place the pump in a dry and well-ventilated area to ensure adequate motor cooling.

• If the pump is operated indoors, a water drain must be provided to prevent flooding in the event of a fault. We also recommend using an appropriate water detector.

• The pump must be screwed tight using the base openings. Otherwise, the hoses can get loose due to vibrations.

• The pump must be easily accessible so that the filter can be easily cleaned or the sealing plugs can be unscrewed to drain water (e.g. before the onset of winter). The mains plug must also be easily accessible so that the pump can be disconnected from the mains voltage.

• The hose must be laid in such a way that it easily reaches the pump’s suction opening. The suction hose end should be provided with a suitable coarse filter and a backflow preventer.
  The suction opening must be placed in the water so that it cannot come into physical contact with people or animals. Otherwise, the high suction effect can cause injuries!

• Connect the two hoses to the respective pump connections.

• When the ambient temperature is 0 °C or below freezing, the water in the pump freezes, causing the pump to destruct. Therefore, be sure to empty the pump and hoses in good time. The pump can be emptied by unscrewing the two drain caps and letting the water run out.

The pump does not have its own power switch. You must therefore ensure dry run protection of the pump using e.g. a float switch or the like. When the pump is not in use, disconnect it completely from the mains voltage.

Operation

• Please refer to section 7.

• Disconnect the pump from the mains voltage by pulling the mains plug out of the mains socket.

• Open the filter cover by turning it counter-clockwise to the left and then remove it.

• Fill the pump with clean water through the filter opening. The suction hose should also ideally be filled with water to ensure immediate start of the suction process and prevent air from getting into the pump.

• Replace the cover and screw it tight.

• Insert the mains plug into a proper mains socket with a protective earth contact (IP44).
  Make sure the mains plug is dry before plugging it into the mains socket. Never touch the mains plug when your hands are wet or damp. Otherwise there is a risk of a fatal electric shock!

• The pump starts immediately as soon as it is plugged in and conveys water. If the pump and suction hose have been filled with water as described above, the pump should convey water to the outlet side after a few seconds. Open a shut-off valve (if any) on the hose connected to the outlet side to bleed air and enable water pumping.

If water is not pumped, there is still air in the pump and in the hose. If water is still not pumped after one minute, disconnect the pump from the mains voltage.
Mount a backflow preventer at the end of the suction hose. This facilitates the suction process.
Fill the suction hose and pump with clear water and restart the pumping process.
If necessary, check the shut-off valves (if any) and open them.

If the pump does not suck in or convey water for a longer time, the remaining water in the pump could become very hot. Carefully release the excess pressure in the hose system or pump before you open the filter cover and fill in water.

Discontinuing use

If the pump must be disconnected from the hose (for example, for cleaning, maintenance or winter storage), proceed as follows:

• Disconnect the pump from the mains voltage by pulling the mains plug out of the mains socket.
  Release the excess pressure in the hose system or pump and open the shut-off valves (if any).

• Unscrew the two drain caps and let the remaining water run out of the pump. Opening the filter cover can speed up the process.

• Do not forget to completely empty the hoses laid outdoors to avoid frost damage. Also open the shut-off valves, if any.
  We recommend to store the pump in a dry, frost-free place during winter. If the pump is permanently fixed in place, it can remain outdoors if it is correctly emptied. In this case, a cumbersome disassembly (and removal/connection of hoses) once a year is not necessary.

• Clean the filter as described in the next chapter.

• Replace the drain caps and screw them tight. Close the filter cover if you have not done this already.

• If the pump requires transport, make sure there is still some water left in the pump after it has been emptied. When storing the pump or transporting it in a vehicle, make sure you use a suitable underlay to protect the pump from water stains or other damage.

Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning the filter

• The filter prevents coarse dirt and most other impurities (e.g. hair, fabric fibres, etc.) from getting into the pump drive. Check it regularly, as soiling reduces the pumping capacity.
• Disconnect the pump from the mains voltage by pulling the mains plug out of the mains socket.
• Release the excess pressure in the hose system or pump, open the shut-off valves (if any) and carefully open the filter cover (turn the cover counter-clockwise to the left). Remove the cover.
• Pull out the filter insert and clean it thoroughly. It is also recommended to check the filter opening in the pump for soiling (drain water from the pump if necessary).
• Insert the filter in the correct orientation. Before restarting the pump, fill the pump with clean water through the filter opening. Replace the cover and screw it tight.
• If the suction hose end has a coarse filter/backflow preventer, check it as well or clean it.

General information
Apart from filter cleaning (see section 10. a), the pump has no user serviceable parts, so never open or dismantle it. Maintenance, repair and associated pump dismantling may only be carried out by a specialist or a specialist workshop.
Before cleaning the pump, disconnect it from the mains voltage by pulling the mains plug out of the mains socket. Allow the pump to cool down completely.
Use a dry, clean, soft and lint-free cloth to clean the outside of the pump.

Never use aggressive detergents, rubbing alcohol or other chemical solutions, as these may damage the housing or prevent the product from functioning properly.

Disposal
Electronic devices are recyclable waste and must not be placed in household waste. At the end of its service life, dispose of the product according to the relevant statutory regulations.

Troubleshooting

The pump you have purchased is a product that has been designed according to the state of the art and is reliable in operation. However, problems and malfunctions can still occur. Therefore, observe the following information on how to solve the possible malfunctions.

The pump does not suck

• Open all available shut-off valves. Closing a shut-off valve on the pressure side prevents air from getting into the hose or in the pump.
• Fill the pump and suction hose with water.
• Use a backflow preventer at the end of the suction hose.
• If the suction hose end has a coarse filter, check it for soiling and clean if necessary.
• Check the suction hose and all connectors for leaks.

Pump does not run or stops during operation

• Is the pump correctly connected to the mains voltage (mains socket)?
• Check the mains supply or the circuit breaker and the ground fault circuit interrupter. If the ground fault circuit inter-rupter has tripped, you must disconnect the pump from the mains voltage and check it for damage (e.g. power cord/housing). Stop using the pump immediately if it is damaged!
• The impeller inside the pump is blocked by dirt. Disconnect the pump from the mains voltage, remove the hoses and sealing plugs and rinse the inside of the pump with clean water.
• The overtemperature protection has tripped. Disconnect the pump from the mains voltage and allow it to cool down (at least 30 minutes). Eliminate the cause of the trip (e.g. water temperature too high, dry running too long etc.).

Flow rate decreases or is too low

• Check the suction hose or its coarse filter/backflow preventer for soiling.
• Clean the pump filter.
• The pump sucks in air because the suction hose is not in the water, damaged (cracked) or not correctly connected to the pump.
• Check the hoses for leaks or kinks.
• As a matter of principle, the flow rate decreases with greater suction height and pump head. Refer to the diagram in the section “Technical data”.
• The hose diameter of the suction hose is too low.
