OPERATION

4.1. INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING
4.1.1. Attach a sufficiently long and strong rope to the handle before first use. The pump is submerged into the liquid on this holding rope and can also be carried with it as
well as the handle.
NOTE: DO NOT suspend the unit from the power cable.
NOTE: With continuous use of the pump, the condition of the rope must be regularly checked as it can decay and break over time.
4.1.2. Connect pressure pipe
4.1.2.1. For occasional use, use a suitable water hose.
4.1.2.2. The use of rigid pipes with a nonreturn valve is recommended for use at a fixed location. This prevents the return flow of liquid when switching off.
4.1.2.3. Screw the pressure line onto the pressure connection.
4.1.2.4. All threaded connections must be sealed with thread sealing tape.
4.1.2.5. When using a hose, screw a suitable hose adaptor onto the pressure connection. Push the hose firmly onto the hose adaptor and secure with a hose clamp.
4.1.3. Installation
4.1.3.1. The pump needs an area of at least 50 x 50cm (the float switch must be able to move freely so that it functions properly.
4.1.3.2. The pump can be submerged under water to the submerged operating depth of 7metres.
4.1.3.3. Install the pump so that the suction openings cannot be blocked by foreign bodies (place the appliance on a firm, even base if necessary.
4.1.3.4. Ensure that the pump is stable.
4.1.4. Clear water mode Refer to fig.2A
4.1.5. Fold the feet up to use the pump in clear water allowing suction up to 5mm from the ground and with particles in suspension that are less than 5mm in diameter.
4.1.6. Dirty water mode Refer to fig.2B
4.1.7. Fold the feet down to use the pump in dirty water allowing suction up to 30mm from the ground and with particles in suspension that are less than 30mm in diameter.

4.1.8. DO NOT lift the pump with the cable or the pressure hose as these are not designed for the tensile stress from the weight of the pump.
4.1.9. Submerge the pump at an angle into the liquid to be delivered, so that no air pocket forms on the underside of the appliance. Suction
would be prevented by this. Once the pump is submerged, it can be righted again.
4.1.10. Leave the pump at the bottom of the liquid container. Use a strong rope attached to the carrying handle of the pump for lowering.
4.1.11. Tighten the end of the rope firmly after lowering.
4.1.12. The pump can also be operated whilst suspended on a rope.
NOTE: For operation whilst suspended on the rope, DO NOT operate without the pressure hose. Avoid the pump twisting around its longitudinal axis.
4.2. OPERATION
4.2.1. Connect the pump to the main supply.
WARNING! The float switch must be able to move so that the submersible pump cannot run dry. Doing so will cause damage to the unit.
WARNING! Disconnect from the mains before carrying out any maintenance.
4.3. BEFORE EVERY USE

• check casing and cables for damage
• check float switch for damage – lift and shake the switch to check the free movement of the contained metal balls.

4.4. AFTER EVERY USE:

• clean the appliance: rinse with clean water, and remove stubborn contamination with a brush and detergent. Submerge the pump in a container with clean water and switch it on for a short time to rinse the inside of the pump. Clean the suction area, see below.

4.5. CLEANING THE SUCTION AREA
4.5.1. Clean all accessible parts of the inside of the casing. Remove fibres that have wound around the rotor shaft by opening the pressure connection. Remove stubborn contamination with a brush and detergent.
NOTE: Before using the pump again, first ‘soak’ it so that any possible dirt residues do not block the pump.

STORAGE

5.1. If there is a risk of frost, dismantle the pump and accessories, clean and store them in a place protected from frost.
