Before starting the equipment

Connecting the intake line

• The intake hose or pipe should have a mini-mum diameter of 25 mm (1”); a diameter of 32 mm (11/4”) is recommended for suction heights exceeding 5 m.
• Connect the intake valve (foot valve) with in-take cage to the intake line.
• Position the intake line so that it rises from the water withdrawal point to the equipment. Avoid positioning the suction pipe higher than the pump, as this would delay the escape of air bubbles from the suction pipe and impede the priming process.
• Install the intake and discharge lines in such a way that they do not exert any mechanical pressure on the equipment.
• The intake valve should be low enough in the water to ensure that if the water level falls, the equipment will not run dry.
• A leaking intake line will draw in air and there-fore not draw in any water.

Connecting the discharge line

• The discharge line (min. 19 mm (3/4”)) must be connected to the 33.3 mm (R1IG) female thread discharge line connector of the equip-ment either directly or with the aid of a threa-ded nipple.
• With the right couplings it is also possible, of course, to use a 13 mm (1/2“) delivery hose. The smaller delivery hose results in a lower delivery rate.
• During the priming operation, fully open any shut-off mechanisms (spray nozzles, valves, etc.) in the pressure line so that the air can escape without obstruction.

Electrical connections

• Connect the appliance to a 230 V ~ 50 Hz socket-outlet with earthing contact. Minimum fuse 10 ampere.
• A built-in thermostat protects the motor from overloading and blocking. The pump is swit-ched off automatically by the thermostat if overheating occurs and is switched on again automatically after cooling.

Operation

• Install the equipment on a solid and level surface.
• Remove the ventilation screw (8).
• Unscrew the coarse filter screw (7) using the supplied wrench (11) and remove the coarse filter (9) together with the non-return valve (10) as shown in Figure 2. Now you can fill the pump housing with water via the coarse filter screw (7). Filling the intake line accelerates the intake process.
• Assemble in reverse order.
• Open the discharge line.
• Connect the mains cable.
• Switch on the equipment with the power switch (3) – water can be suctioned in for up to 5 minutes (maximum suction height).
• The equipment will shut down when the cut-out pressure of 3 bar is reached.
• After a loss of pressure due to water consumption the equipment will cut in again automatically (cut-in pressure approx. 1.5 bar). After finishing the work, switch off the equip-ment with the power switch (3).

Replacing the power cable

If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid danger.

Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts

The equipment is almost completely maintenance-free. In order to ensure a long service life, however, we recommend that you regularly check and care for the product.
Important!
The equipment must be disconnected from the power supply (pull the power plug) prior to performing any maintenance.
Servicing
If the equipment becomes clogged, connect the discharge line to the water line and disconnect the suction hose. Open the water line. Switch on the equipment several times for approx. two seconds. This should resolve the majority of clog-related problems. Inside the pressure, the tank is an expandable water sack and an air compartment whose maximum pressure should lie at approx. 1.3 bar. Pumping water into the water sack causes the sack to expand so that the pressure in the air compartment rises to switch-off level. If the air pressure is too low, you should raise it. To do so, unscrew theV plastic lid from the tank and top up the pressure to the correct level using a tire pump with a meter at the valve. Important: Be sure to completely empty the water bag fi rst using the water drain screw
(5).
Replacing the mains cable:
Important: Disconnect the equipment from the power supply! A defective mains cable may only be replaced by a qualified electrician. There are no parts inside the equipment which require additional maintenance.
Cleaning the coarse filter insert

• Clean the coarse filter insert at regular intervals, and replace it if necessary.
• Remove the coarse filter screw (7) and coarse filter (9) together with the non-return valve (10) (Figure 2).
• Disassemble the coarse filter insert as shown in figure 3.
• Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or petrol to clean the coarse filter and the non-return valve.
• Clean the coarse filter and the non-return val-ve by tapping them on a flat surface. In cases of stubborn dirt, first clean with soapy water, then rinse with clear water and air-dry.
• Assemble in reverse order.

Storage

• If the pump is not going to be used for a long time or has to be removed for the winter months, rinse it out with water, empty it com-pletely and allow it to dry.
• The equipment must be completely drained before it is subjected to frost.
• After long stoppages, make sure the rotor turns correctly by briefly switching the pump on and off.
