General safety instructions

PLEASE FOLLOW CAREFULLY THESE INSTRUCTIONS TO GUARANTEE A HIGH SAFETY LEVEL:

• The pump is not appropriate to be operated for a long time (e.g. as a circulating pump in ponds or stream flows). If used in this manner, the service life is shortened
• accordingly. In such a case, use a timer and provide long breaks between individual operating cycles.
• The pump must not be connected to the existing water supply system as an appliance increasing pressure.
• The pump is not appropriate as a long-term, automatic protection against overflow of tanks and wells or to control underground water in cellars.
• Do not leave the pump unattended to prevent damage as a result of any wrong function. The pump must necessarily be unplugged when not used.
• Caution: Operation is only allowed with a safety switch against stray current (max. stray current of 30mA pursuant to VDE regulation part 702). Please contact your electrician.
• Caution: The pump must not in any case be operated without any charge filling
• The user is responsible to any third party as far as using the pump (pumping station, etc.) is concerned.
• To be used on connections with a safety switch against stray current only (FI)!

Assembly and first start-up

Safety instructions for first start-up

Caution: The pump must not run empty.

The user is responsible to third persons as far as using the pump (pumping station, etc.) is concerned

To be used on connections with a safety switch against stray current (RCD) only!

• Before putting the appliance into operation, a qualified electrician must check whether the required electrical safety equipment is in place.
• Electric connection by means of a socket.
• Check the voltage. The technical details on the label must correspond to the electric network voltage.
• Check the feeder cable with the plug for any damage before the appliance is to be used. Have a feeder cable that is damaged immediately replaced by an authorised customer service/electrician. All plugs must be located in non-tidal land.
• If the pump is used in ponds, wells, etc. and in appropriate water equipments, standards applicable in the countries where the pump is used must necessarily be adhered to.
• Electric pumps used outside must be fitted with a rubber electric cable, H07RNF type, according to DIN 57282 or DIN 57245 standards.

When the pump is being operated, no people or animals are allowed to stay or plunge in the pumped liquid (e.g. swimming pools, cellars, etc.).

• The pumped liquid temperature must not exceed +35 °C. If an extension cable is used, it must exclusively be made out of rubber, H07RNF type, according to DIN 57282 or DIN 57245 standards. A pump that is plugged must never be touched, lifted or carried by cable. It is necessary to makesure the connecting socket is always in a distance from water and moisture and the plug is protected against moisture.
• Before putting the pump into operation, check whether the electric cable and/or the socket are not damaged.
  Unplug the appliance before any work on the pump.
  The pump must never be installed in moist shafts (risk of shortcut, damage as a result of corrosion)!

To avoid or prevent a possible damage (e.g. flooding a room, etc.) due to defective pump operation (e.g. failure or defects), the owner (user) is obliged to take reasonable safety measures (installation of alarm equipment, a spare pump etc.).

• If the pump is defective, repair must exclusively be executed by an authorised service centre. Original spare parts to be used only.
• Let us refer to the fact that we will not assume any liability under the standards in force for any damage caused by our appliances in the cases mentioned below. Unauthorised repairs executed by unauthorised service centres.
• Using the appliance in conflict with the designation or failure to use the appliance as designated.
• Pump overloading by continuous operation.
• This appliance has not been designed to be used by persons (including children) with limited physical, sensory and mental abilities or lacking experience and/or insufficient knowledge even if using the appliance under the supervision of a safety inspector or if they have been instructed by the safety inspector on how to use the appliance. Children must be supervised to make sure they do not play with the appliance.

Thermal fuse

• A probe is built into the engine that automatically switches the pump off if a certain temperature has been exceeded and/or switches the pump on after it has been cooled. This increases the service life of the pump for several times and prevents thermal damage of the electric engine.
• Thermal fuse/engine circuit switch
• Cooling down time is app. 25 minutes; after the pump is automatically switched on, prevent any dangerous situation related to automatic starting. If the engine circuit switch is switched on, it is necessary to detect the cause and remove it (see “Troubleshooting“). Information given here cannot be used for “home-executed” repairs as they require specific expert knowledge. A customer service centre must always be contacted when any failures are faced.

Operation

1. Screw the telescopic tubei (1) with the internal thread to the pump thread (2)
2. Loosen the clamp (3) of the telescopic tube and set it to the required height of the storm sewer or barrel.
3. If you want to pump over water from deeper tanks (max. 5 m), interlace the rope through the carrying handle.Put the pump to the storm sewer so that the stop valve (4) protrudes over the edge of the storm sewer. When the pump is being operated, the stop valve (4) works as a water cock

Using the barrel pump

Area of use: The barrel pump has especially been designed to pump over rain water from storm sewers. It is ideal to be used as a watering equipment and to fill water reservoirs (barrels) or to be used as a watering can using the stop valve (4) on the telescopic tube.
Tip: If 19 mm (3/4“) hoses are used, an accordingly higher water pressure (higher watering capacity) in the watering equipment may be expected, which is caused by the slight loss of friction in the hose.

Telescopic tube

The telescopic tube may be set to 62 or 91 cm. The pump can therefore be adjusted to various barrel depths. With the clamp curvature, the pump may be hung to the storm sewer. Deposited dirt from the storm sewer do not get to the pump in this way

Safety instructions for the operator

CAUTION: The pump starts immediately after being plugged!
The appliance to be used only after the Operating Instructions have carefully been read.
Safety instructions included in these Operating Instructions must be followed. Behave responsibly to other persons

Step-by-step instructions

• Connect the telescopic tube with the pump
• Put the clamp to the required height Plunge the pump to the container with water and close the stop valve
• Plug the pump
• Water may be pumped by opening the stop valve

Inspections and servicing

Caution: Unplug the pump before any work on the appliance!

Filter cleaning

The barrel pump is maintenance-free. It comprises an integrated filter preventing pump and related appliances from getting dirty. The filter must be checked from time to time, depending on the water pollution level and cleaned if necessary as follows:

• 1. Unscrew the filter cover (8).

• 2. Remove the filter insert (pic. B arrow)

• 3. Wash the filter insert with hot water and refit it.

• 4. Screw the filter cover again.
  Caution: Pump body screwing is sealed. Any work on the electrical equipment may only be performed by the technical service centre.

• If there is a risk of icing, put the pump to a dry place.

• For repair purposes, the pump must be sent to a customer service centre, except for the cases specified below

Safety instructions for inspections and servicing

Before any work on the pump and servicing the pump, it is always necessary to interrupt the current supply (unplug the appliance) and make sure the pump is not able to start unintentionally.
Only an appliance regularly services and treated may be a satisfactory assistant. Inappropriate servicing and care may lead to unpredictable accidents and injuries
