Before starting the equipment

Before you connect the equipment to the mains supply make sure that the data on the rating plate is identical to the mains data.
As a basic principle, we recommend the use of a preliminary filter and a suction set with a suction hose, intake cage, and non-return valve, in order to prevent long priming periods and unnecessary damage to the pump as a result of stones and solid foreign bodies.

5.1 Connecting the intake line

• Fasten the suction hose (at least approx. 19 mm (¾“) plastic hose with spiral reinforcement) to the suction connection approx. 33.3 mm (R1 female thread) of the equipment either directly or via a threaded nipple.
• The suction hose used should be equipped with an intake valve. If the intake valve cannot be used, a non-return valve should be installed in the intake line.
• Position the intake line so that it rises from the water withdrawal point to the equipment. Avoid positioning the intake line higher than the pump, as this would delay the escape of air bubbles from the intake line 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 unit will not run dry.
• A leaking intake line will draw in air and therefore not draw in any water.
• Prevent the intake of foreign bodies (sand, etc.). If necessary, install a coarse filter for this purpose.

5.2 Connecting the discharge line

• The discharge line (min. 19 mm (¾“)) must be connected to the 33.3 mm (R1IG) female thread discharge line connector of the equipment either directly or with the aid of a threaded nipple.

• With the right couplings it is also possible, of course, to use a 13 mm (½ “) 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.

5.3 Electrical connections

• Connect the appliance to a 230 V ~ 50 Hz socket-outlet with earthing contact. Minimum fuse 10 amperes.
• A built-in thermostat protects the motor from overloading and blocking. The pump is switched 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 (7).
• Unscrew the coarse filter screw (6) using the supplied wrench (10) and remove the coarse filter (8) together with the non-return valve (9) as shown in Figure 2. Now you can fill the pump housing with water via the coarse filter screw (6). Filling the intake line accelerates the intake process.
• Assemble in reverse order.
• Open the discharge line.
• Connect the main cable.
• Switch on the equipment with the power switch (3) – water can be suctioned in for up to 5 minutes (maximum suction height).
• After finishing the work, switch off the equipment with the power switch (3).

Replacing the power cable

Danger!
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.

Danger!
The equipment must be disconnected from the power supply (pull the power plug) prior to performing any maintenance.

8.1 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.

• There are no parts inside the equipment which require additional maintenance.

8.2 Cleaning the coarse filter insert

• Clean the coarse filter insert at regular intervals, and replace it if necessary.
• Remove the coarse filter screw (6) and coarse filter (8) together with the non-return valve (9) (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 valve 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.

8.3 Ordering replacement parts:
Please quote the following data when ordering replacement parts:

• Type of machine
• Article number of the machine
• Identification number of the machine
• Replacement part number of the part required

Disposal and recycling

The equipment is supplied in packaging to prevent it from being damaged in transit. The raw materials in this packaging can be reused or recycled. The equipment and its accessories are made of various types of material, such as metal and plastic. Never place defective equipment in your household refuse. The equipment should be taken to a suitable collection center for proper disposal. If you do not know the whereabouts of such a collection point, you should ask your local council offi ces.

Storage

Store the equipment and accessories in a dark and dry place at above freezing temperature. The ideal storage temperature is between 5 and 30 °C. Store the electric tool in its original packaging.

• 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 completely 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.

Troubleshooting guide

– Dismantle and clean the pump
No intake| – Intake valve not in water
– Pump chamber without water connection
– Air in the intake line is air-tight
– Intake valve leaks
– Strainer (intake valve) blocked
– Max. suction height exceeded| – Immerse the intake valve in the water
– Fill water into the intake
– Make sure the intake line is close
– Clean intake valve
– Clean strainer
– Check the suction height
Inadequate delivery rate| – Suction height too high
– Strainer dirty
– Water level falling rapidly
– Pump performance diminished by contaminants part| – Check the suction height

– Clean the pump and replace wearing
Thermostat switches pump off| – Motor overloaded – friction caused by foreign substances too high| – Dismantle and clean the pump. Prevent intake of foreign substances (filter)

For EU countries only
Never place any electric power tools in your household refuse.
To comply with European Directive 2012/19/EC concerning old electric and electronic equipment and its implementation in national laws, old electric power tools have to be separated from other waste and disposed of in an environment-friendly fashion, e.g. by taking to a recycling depot.
Recycling alternative to the return request:
As an alternative to returning the equipment to the manufacturer, the owner of the electrical equipment must make sure that the equipment is properly disposed of if he no longer wants to keep the equipment.
The old equipment can be returned to a suitable collection point that will dispose of the equipment in accordance with the national recycling and waste disposal regulations. This does not apply to any accessories or aids without electrical components supplied with the old equipment.
The reprinting or reproduction by any other means, in whole or in part, of documentation and papers accompanying products, is permitted only with the express consent of the ESC GmbH.
