SAFETY MEASURES

Before starting the pump, read this instruction booklet carefully.

For safety reasons, the pump must not be used by anyone who has not read these instructions.
The power cord and floating switch must never be used to carry or move the pump. Always use the pump’s handle. This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience
and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
When handling the pump, while it is connected to the electric power supply, you should avoid all contact with water.
Never remove the plug by pulling on the power cord.
Before taking any action on the pump, always remove the plug from the power socket.

USE

Powerful submersible pumps for draining and emptying, and for small-scale irrigation needs; they can be used with dirty water containing particles in suspension up to a maximum dimension of 38mm.
The temperature of the fl uid being pumped must never exceed 35° C.
The pump must not be used to pump salt water, or flammable, corrosive or explosive liquids (e.g. petroleum oil, petrol, thinners), grease, oils or foodstuffs.
Pollution of the liquid could occur due to leakage of lubricants.
If the power supply cord has been damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or his authorized customer support service in order to avoid all risks.

Before starting the pump, make sure that

the voltage and frequency specified on the pump’s nameplate coincide with those of the available power supply;
there are no signs of damage to the pump or its power cord;
the electric connection is made in a dry place, protected against any risk of flooding;
the electric system is complete with a residual current circuit-breaker (I ∆n ≤ 30 mA) and an efficient earthing connection;
the length of the power cord is no more than 10 meters. Any extension cords must comply with the requirements of the DIN VDE standard 0620.

Note: given the different provisions applicable to the safety of electric systems in different countries, make sure that the pump system, as concerns its intended use, is in accordance with current legislation.

STARTING THE PUMP

Insert the plug on the power cord in a suitable power socket.

Automatic operation

The floating switch starts and stops the pump automatically. The water level that prompts the starting and stop- ping of the pump can be adjusted by changing the length of cable between the holder and the float.
N.B. The length of cable for the float must never be shorter than 10 cm.

RECOMMENDATIONS

To ensure the proper operation of the pump, it is important to comply with the following recommendations
The pump must never be allowed to run dry.
Never leave the pump in operation when the delivery pipe is clogged
The pump must be positioned so that the holes on the suction side cannot be partially or totally clogged by dirt.
The pump must only be used when it is immersed in water. If the water runs out, the pump must be stopped immediately by removing the plug from the power supply.
Pay careful attention when the pump is operated in manual mode.
The pump must be placed in a stable position inside a collection pit or in the lowest part of the place where it is installed.
The float must be able to move freely while the pump is in operation, so the recommended dimensions for the trap are 40×40 cm.
It is absolutely essential to prevent any risk of the pump freezing. In the event of freezing temperatures, remove the pump from the liquid, empty it and keep it in a place where it cannot freeze.

Overload protection

The pump has a thermal overload safety device. In the event of any overheating of the motor, this device automatically switches off the pump. The cooling time is roughly 15 to 20 minutes, then the pump automatically comes on again. If the overload cutout is tripped, it is essential to identify and deal with the cause of the overheating. See Troubleshooting.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Before taking any troubleshooting action, disconnect the pump from the power supply (i.e. remove the plug from the socket).
If there is any damage to the power cord or pump, any necessary repairs or replacements must be handled by the manufacturer or his authorized customer support service, or by an equally qualified party, in order to prevent all risks.
