---|---

Before Startup

Screw the hose connection on to the pump
Connect the hose connection to the hose coupling of the drum edge holder.

Operation
DANGER
Risk of mortal danger on account of electric shock!
Do not touch the feed fluid and the rope fastened to the carrying handle during operation.

NOTICE
The liquid level must at least be 3 cm for the pump to suck in liquids independently. If the prerequisites for the pump operation are met (water level, position/level switch), the pump will start immediately after the mains plug has been plugged in.

Comfort operation
In order to run the pump independently of the water level, the level switch must be mounted inside the housing.
Illustration **1**

Screw the housing bowl and the O-ring onto the drum edge holder.
Place the level switch into the housing bowl.
Press the housing cover down onto the housing bowl until it locks.

Illustration **2**
Slide the drum edge holder onto the container edge until it is properly seated.

Illustration **3**
Place the pump on a stabil surface in the liquid to be transported. Immerse it using a rope tied to the handle or hang it into the container by the hose. The suction area should not be blocked fully or partially through the impurities.

Illustration **4**
Close locking tap (arrow horizontal).
Insert the mains plug into the socket.
Rotate the housing with the level switch in the arrow direction “ON”.
The pump will turn on.
Open the locking tap to remove water (arrow vertical).

Automatic operation
In the automatic mode, the level switch automatically controls the pumping operations. The pump switches on or off when the fluid level reaches the height that has been set. Ensure that the level sensor is not obstructed in any way.

Illustration **5**
In automatic operation, set the required switching height by clamping the level switch cable into the stopper.
Open the locking tap to remove water (arrow vertical).
Insert the mains plug into the socket.

Manual operation
In manual operations the pump remains switched on continuously.

Illustration **6**
In manual operations mode, align the level sensor upward (cable pointing downward). Tip: Push the cable of the level sensor like a loop through the handle.
Open the locking tap to remove water (arrow vertical).
Insert the mains plug into the socket.

NOTICE
Dry running leads to increased wear and tear; do not leave the pump unattended during manual operation. Switch off the pump within 3 minutes of dry running.

Finish operation
NOTICE
Soiling can deposit and lead to malfunctions.

Rinse the pump with clean water after use. This especially applies after pumping chlorinated water or other liquids that leave residue.
Rotate the housing with the level switch in the arrow direction “OFF”. The pump will turn off.
Disconnect the main plug from the socket.

Maintenance

The pump is maintenace-free.

Transport

CAUTION
In order to prevent accidents or injuries, keep in mind the weight of the appliance during transport (see Specifications).

Lift and carry the pump on the carrying handle.
If you want to transport the appliance on a vehicle secure it from slipping.

Storage

CAUTION
In order to prevent accidents or injuries, keep in mind the weight of the appliance when selecting a storage location for it (see Specifications).

Storing the Appliance
Illustration **7**

Tip the drum edge holder forward and take out toward the top.
Completely drain the pump and allow it to dry.
Store the appliance in a frost free area.

Troubleshooting

Fault	Cause	Remedy
Pump runs but does not transport	Air in the pump	Plug in/ pull out the mains

plug of the pump a few times till the fluid gets sucked
Suction area blocked| Pull out the mains plug and clean the suction area
(only in manual mode) Water level be- low the minimum water level| Immerse the pump deeper into the liquid, if possible.
Pressure hose is blocked| Pull out the mains plug and clean the pressure hose
Locking tap is closed (arrow horizontal).| Open the locking tap (arrow vertical).
Pump does not run or suddenly comes to a standstill during opera- tions| Power supply interrupted| Check fuses and electrical connections
Thermal protection switch in the motor has switched off the pump as it was overheated.| Pull out the mains plug, let the pump cool down, clean the suction area, prevent dry running
Dirt particles have got jammed into the suction area| Pull out the mains plug and clean the suction area
Pump operation stopped by sensor| Check position of level sensor
Pumping capacity is reducing| Suction area blocked| Pull out the mains plug and clean the suction area
Pumping capacity too low| The pumping capacity depends on the flow height, hose diameter, and hose length.| Keep max. flow height, see technical data. If necessary, select a different hose diameter or hose length.
