Proper use

The equipment you have purchased is designed to pump water with a maximum temperature of 35 °C. This equipment must never be used for other liquids, especially not for engine fuels, cleaning agents, and other chemically-based products!
The equipment can be used wherever you want to move water, e.g. in the house, in the garden, and for many other applications. It must not be used to operate swimming pools! If you want to use the equipment in bodies of water with a natural, muddy bottom, place the equipment in a slightly elevated position, e.g. on bricks.
The equipment is not designed for continuous operation, e.g. as a circulating pump in a pond. In this case, the equipment’s anticipated life will be greatly shortened because the equipment was not designed for continuous loading.
The equipment is to be used only for its prescribed purpose. Any other use is deemed to be a case of misuse. The user/operator and not the manufacturer will be liable for any damage or injuries of any kind caused as a result of this.
Please note that our equipment has not been designed for use in commercial, trade, or industrial applications. Our warranty will be voided if the machine is used in commercial, trade or industrial businesses or for equivalent purposes. The water may be contaminated by escaping lubricating oil/lubricant.

Important!
The equipment is supplied without batteries and without a charger and is allowed to be used only with the lithium-ion batteries of the Power XChange series!
The lithium-ion batteries of the Power X-Change series are allowed to be charged only with the Power X charger.

Before starting the equipment

The equipment is supplied without batteries and without a charger.

Before you connect the equipment to the mains supply make sure that the data on the rating plate are identical to the mains data.

5.1 Installation
The equipment can be installed either:

• Stationary with a rigid pipeline or
• Stationary with a flexible hose line

The maximum pumping rate is possible only with the largest possible line diameter; if smaller hoses or pipes are connected, the pumping rate will be reduced.
Venting:
Water might escape from the vent opening during operation.
Please note!
When installing, never hang the equipment by the discharge line or by the power cable. The equipment must be hung up by the provided carry handle or suspension eyelet, or it must rest on the bottom of the shaft. To ensure that the equipment works properly, the bottom of the shaft always must be free of sludge and other accumulations of dirt. If the water level is too low, the sludge in the shaft can quickly dry out and hinder the equipment from starting. It is necessary therefore to check the equipment regularly (carry out trial start-ups). The pump shaft should be large enough.
5.2 Fitting the battery box (Fig. 3)
Important! Do not immerse the battery box in the water! The battery box can be fi tested in various diff erent ways:

• Wall mounting: There are two mounting holes at the back of the battery box (10 cm apart). Screw two screws securely into the wall and attach the battery box to them.
• Container mounting: Fasten the fastening hook to the mounting holes provided for the purpose at the back of the battery box. You can then attach the battery box to the outside of a container.
• The battery box does not have to be permanently fastened. You can also set it down outside the water. You can wind the power cable up on the integrated cable rewind of the battery box (Fig. 5). –

Caution! – Only wind up the power cable loosely during operation.
5.3 Using the pump in the rain barrel (Fig. 4)
Fit the supplied pipe set as described and make sure that the seals between the individual components are correctly seated:

1. Connect the telescopic pipe (13) to the short extension pipe (12).
2. Screw the complete telescopic pipe to the longer extension pipe (11) and to the swiveling connection (14).

Proceed as follows to use the pump in the rain barrel:

• Connect the pipe set to the pump.
• Use the attachment hook (Fig. 4 / Item B) to hang the pump in the rain barrel. To vary the height, undo the clamp lever of the telescopic pipe (Fig. 4 / Item A) and tighten it again when the desired position is reached. You should set the length of the telescopic pipe such that the pump does not touch the bottom. This will keep dirt away from the pump.
• The height of the attachment hook can be adjusted to between 48 and 92 mm depending on whether the extension pipe is used or not.
• If necessary, use a hose to extend the telescopic pipe.
• To withdraw water, open the stopcock (Fig. 4 / Item C).

5.4 Fitting the battery (Fig. 6)
pen the battery cover. To do so, open the locking hook on the battery cover and swing up the cover. Press the side pushlock button of the battery pack as shown in Fig. 6 and push the battery pack into the mount provided. Make sure that the push-lock button engages properly. To remove the battery pack, proceed in reverse order. Close the battery cover by swinging the cover down and closing the locking hook.
5.5 Charging the battery (Figure 7)

1. Take the battery pack out of the equipment. Do this by pressing the push lock button.
2. Check that your mains voltage is the same as that marked on the rating plate of the battery charger. Insert the power plug of the charger (16) into the socket outlet. The reen LED will then begin to flash.
3. Insert the battery pack (15) into the battery charger (16).
4. In the section entitled „Charger indicator, “ you will find a table with an explanation of the LED indicator on the charger. The battery pack can become a little warm during the charging. This is normal.

If the battery pack fails to charge, check:

• whether there is the voltage at the socket-outlet
• whether there is good contact at the charging contacts If the battery pack still fails to charge, send
• the charging unit
• and the battery pack to our customer service center.

To ensure that items are properly packaged and delivered when you send them to us, please contact our customer service or the point of sale at which the equipment was purchased.

When shipping or disposing of batteries and cordless tools, always ensure that they are packed individually in plastic bags to prevent short circuits and fi res.
To ensure that the battery pack provides a long service, you should take care to recharge it promptly you must recharge the battery pack when you notice that the performance of the device drops. Never allow the battery pack to become fully discharged. This will cause it to develop a defect. 5.6 Battery capacity indicator (Fig. 8) Press the button for the battery capacity indicator (Item A). The battery capacity indicator (Item B) shows the charge status of the battery using 3 LEDs. All 3 LEDs are lit: The battery is fully charged. 2 or 1 LED(s) are lit: The battery has an adequate remaining charge. 1 LED fl ashes: The battery is empty, recharge the battery. All LEDs blink:
The battery temperature is too low. Remove the battery from the equipment, keep it at room temperature for one day. If the fault reoccurs, this means that the rechargeable battery has undergone exhaustive discharge and is defective. Remove the battery from the equipment. Never use or charge a defective battery.

Operation

You can put the equipment into operation after you have thoroughly read the installation and operating instructions. Pay attention to the following points:

• Make sure that the equipment is set up securely.
• Check that the discharge line is fitted correctly.
• Lower the pump into the well or shaft using a securing cable or hang it inside the rainwater barrel.
• The device starts automatically after you have pressed the On/Off switch (7).
• Make sure that the equipment does not run dry.
• To switch off the device, please press the ON/ Off switch (7) again. 7. Cleaning, maintenance, and ordering of spare parts Danger!
• Always pull out the battery pack before starting any cleaning work.
• For mobile applications, the equipment should be cleaned with clear water after every usage.
• Use a water jet to remove any lint or fibrous particles that may have become trapped in the housing.
• Remove sludge from the shaft bottom and clean the shaft walls every 3 months.

7.1 Cleaning the fi lter (Figs. 9 and 10)
In order to protect the equipment and the impeller from severe soiling, an additional fi lter has been installed in the bottom intake cage. Please proceed as follows when cleaning the filter:

1. Open the filter cover (A) in the intake cage (5).
2. Remove the filter (B) and wash it out under running water.
3. Assemble in reverse order.

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