Special instructions for greater ease of understanding and improved handling.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Various different models of garden pumps are described in this documentation. Identify your model using the identification plate.

Function

The garden pump draws the water via the suction line and feeds it to the pump outlet. It is operated using an on/off switch.

Inox stainless steel

Units marked with the designation “INOX” are supplied in stainless steel. The structure and function are unaffected by this.

Designated use

The garden pump is intended for private use in house and garden. It must only be used in the framework of the deployment limitations in accordance with the technical data.

The garden pump is suitable for:

1. Watering and irrigating

2. Re-pumping and pumping out of vessels (e.g. swimming pools)

3. Water extraction from streams, rainwater butts and cisterns.
   The garden pump is is suited exclusively for the conveying of the following fluids:

4. Clear water, rainwater

5. water containing chlorine (e.g. swimming pools)

Any other use shall be regarded as misuse.

Possible misuse

The garden pump must not be used continuously.
They are not suitable for conveying:

• Drinking water
• Saltwater
• Wastewater
• Foodstuffs
• aggressive media, chemicals
• corrosive, flammable, explosive or fuming fluids
• Fluids that are hotter than 35 °C
• water containing a sand and abrasive fluids.

SCOPE OF SUPPLY

Thermal protection

The equipment is fitted with a thermal protection switch which switches the motor off in the event of overheating. After a cooling-down phase of approx. 15 – 20 minutes the pump switches on automatically.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Danger of injury!

Only use the machine and the extension cable if it is in perfect technical condition!
Damaged units must not be used.
Safety and protective devices must not be deactivated!

• Children, or people who are not familiar with the operating instructions, are not allowed to use the machine.
• Never lift, transport or suspend the unit using the connection cable.
• Unilateral modifications or conversions of the unit are prohibited.

Electrical safety

Danger when touching voltage conducting parts!
Disconnect the plug from the mains if the extension cable is damaged or severed!
We recommend connecting a RCD (residual current operated device) having a nominal residual current of < 30 mA.

• The house mains voltage must agree with the details quoted in the technical data, do not use any other supply voltage.
• The unit must only be operated with an electrical installation in accordance with DIN/ VDE 0100, Part 737, 738 and 702 (swimming pools). Protection must be provided by a 10 A line protection switch and a RCCD (residual current operated device) having a nominal residual current of 10/30 mA.
• Use only extension cables that are suitable for use outdoors – minimum cross-section 1.5 mm2. Cable drums should always be unrolled completely.
• Damaged or brittle extension cables must not be used.
• Check the condition of your extension cable each time you start to use the equipment.

ASSEMBLY

Setting up the equipment

1. Prepare a flat and solid location.
2. Erect the unit horizontally and safe from the risk of flooding.

The unit must be protected from the rain and direct water jets.

Connect the suction line

1. Select the length of the suction line (Fig. B -16) so that the pump cannot run dry. The suction line must always be at least 30 cm under the surface of the water.

2. Connect the suction line. In doing so, make sure that the seal is leak-tight without damaging the thread.
   We recommend fitting flexible lines at the pump inlet (Fig. A -1). This ensures that mechanical pressure or tension cannot be exerted on the pump.

3. If the water carries a small amount of sand you must fit a pre-filter between the suction line and the pump inlet. Ask your expert dealer about this.

4. Always lay the suction line with an upwards gradient.

AIDVIfCE the suction height is more than 4m, you must use a suction hose having a diameter greater than 1″. We recommend the use of an AL-KO suction unit with suction hose, suction filter and flow-back stop. Ask your expert dealer

Mounting the pressure line

1. Screw the connecting nipple (Fig. B -13) with the round seal ring (Fig. B -14) into the pump outlet (Fig. A -3).
2. Screw the elbow nipple (Fig. B -11) with seal ring (Fig. B -12) onto the connecting nipple (Fig. B -13) and turn the elbow nipple in the desired direction.
3. Fix a pressure line (Fig. B -10) to the elbow nipple (Fig. B -11).
4. Open all closing off devices (valves, spray nozzles, water cock) in the pressure line.

STARTUP

Filling the garden pump

CAUTION!
Dry running will destroy the pump! The pump must be filled with water up to the overflow before each use so that it can draw water immediately.

1. Open the filling screw (Fig. B -8).
2. Fill with water via the filling screw until the marl on the pump housing is reached.
3. Screw the filling screw back in position.

Switch the pump on

1. Open all closing off devices (valve, spray nozzle, water cock) in the pressure line.
2. Insert the mains plug on the connection cable into the plug socket.
3. Switch the garden pump on at the on / off switch.

CAUTION!
Do not allow the pump to run against a closed off pressure line

CAUTION!
Do not allow the pump to run against a closed off pressure line

AIDVIfCE nothing is drawn up for longer than 180 seconds, the garden pump automatically switches to “Fault” and turns off.

CAUTION!
Danger of injury from hot water In extended use against the closed pressure side (>10 min.), the water in the pump can be severely heated up and can be emitted in an uncontrolled manner! Isolate the unit from the mains and allow the pump and water to cool down. Start the unit again only after all the faults have been rectified!

The risk of injury from hot water can arise if:

the installation is not correct the pressure side is closed off there is a lack of water in the suction line, or if the pressure switch is defective.

Procedure

1. Isolate the unit from the mains and allow the pump and water to cool down.
2. Check the unit, the installation and water level.
3. Start the unit again only after all the faults have been rectified!

MAINTENANCE AND CARE

CAUTION!
The pump must be isolated from the mains before any maintenance and service work. Remove the mains plug from the plug socket.

Flushing the pump

After conveying swimming pool water containing chlorine or fluids that leave a residue the pump must be flushed out with clear water.

Remove blockages

1. Isolate the unit from the mains and secure against switching on again.
2. Remove the suction hose from pump inlet
3. Connect the pressure hose to the water supply.
4. Allow water to run through the pump housing until the blockage is removed.
5. Check that the pump is running freely by switching it on briefly.
6. Start the house water system again as described.

STORAGE

1. Drain the suction and pressure lines.
2. Unscrew the drain screw and allow the water to flow out of the pump.
3. Screw the drain screw back in place and store the pump and accessories in a frost-free environment.

AIDVIfCE there is a risk of frost, the system must be completely drained.
DISPOSAL

Do not dispose of old equipment,batteries or accumulators as householdwaste!
Product, packaging, and accessories were made with recyclable materials, and should be disposed of accordingly.

HELP IN CASE OF MALFUNCTION

CAUTION!

Disconnect the mains plug before any fault rectification work!
