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 delivery rate.
To avoid clogging the pump, use a pre-filter for hose diameters smaller than 1¼″.

• SP 16000 Dirt Special accessories
• SP 22000 Dirt Integrated in the foot The pump connection is equipped with a plug system (Quick-Connect).

The connection nozzle with pump connecting piece G 1 ½ and 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 G 1 ½ pump connecting piece must be shortened at the grooves so that the required particle size can be pumped. A large hose diameter is also recommended for smaller particle sizes to allow a high flow volume.

Connecting a hose to the pump when using a 1″,1 ¼″ or 1 ½″ hose:

1. Screw the G 1 ½ pump connecting piece onto the connection nozzle.
   Illustration B

2. Push the hose clamp onto the hose.

3. Push the hose onto the G 1 ½ pump connecting piece and fasten it with a hose clamp.

4. Push the connection nozzle into the Quick-Connect.

Illustration C
Connecting a hose to the pump when using a ¾″ or 1″ hose (SP 16000 Dirt):

1. Screw the G 1 threaded connection onto the connection nozzle.

2. Fit the special accessory G 1 pump connecting piece(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.

3. Push the hose clamp onto the hose.

4. Push the hose onto the pump connecting piece G 1 and fasten it with a hose clamp.

5. Push the connection nozzle into the Quick-Connect.

Illustration C
Erecting/immersing the pump:

1. Fit the height adjustment of the float switch into the lock.
   Illustration D

2. Place the pump securely on solid ground in the pumped liquid or immerse it via a rope attached to the carrying handle.

Note
The suction area must not be blocked by soiling. If the ground is muddy, place the pump on a brick or similar.
Make sure that the pump stands level. 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

1. Adjust the float switch via the height adjustment and the cable length.
   Note If the pump is operated unattended, always set the float switch to the top position to ensure reliable pump switch-off. Illustration F Note When the pump is set to the lowermost position, set the cable length between the float switch and the lock to 2.5 cm, see marking on the cable. Illustration G

2. Plug the mains plug into the socket.
   Note In automatic mode, the float switch controls the pumping process automatically. The pump switches on as soon as the float switch reaches the switch-on height caused by the rising fluid level. The pump switches off as soon as the float switch reaches the switch-off height caused by the sinking fluid level. The float switch must be able to move freely. The cable length between the float switch and the locking device must be at least 2.5 cm.

Switch-on height / switch-off height (float switch in lowest position):

Switch-on height / switch-off height (float switch in uppermost position):

• The switching heights vary depending on the position of the float switch and the cable length between the float switch and the lock. We recommend retaining the set cable length.

Manual mode
Note
In manual mode, the pump stays switched on. The fluid level must be at least 60 mm (SP 16000 Dirt) or 50 mm (SP 22000 Dirt) for the pump to prime itself in manual mode. The pump can pump up to a residual fluid height of 25 mm (SP 16000 Dirt) or 35 mm (SP 22000 Dirt). The specified residual fluid height is only achieved in manual mode.
The float switch must be able to move freely.

1. Fasten the float switch in the lock pointing upwards.
   Illustration H
   ATTENTION
   Risk of damage from dry running!
   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.

2. Plug the mains plug into a mains socket.

Finishing operation

1. Pull the mains plug out of the socket.
   The device stops.
   ATTENTION
   Risk of damage!
