Electric components

DANGER

Risk of electric shock.

• Check the power cord with the mains plug for damage before every use. If the power cord is damaged, please arrange immediately for the exchange by authorized customer service or a skilled electrician.
• Install all electrical plug connections in a flood-proof area.
• Unsuitable electrical extension cables can be hazardous. Only use electrical ex-tension cables that have been approved and labeled for this purpose and have an adequate cable cross-section outdoors.
• The mains plug and the cou-pling of an extension cable must be watertight and must never lie in water. Moreover, the coupling may never lie on the ground. The use of cable reels that ensure that the sockets are at least 60 mm above the ground is recom-mended.
• Do not use the power cord to carry/ transport the machine.
• To separate the machine from the mains, pull the plug and not the power cord.
• Do not scrape the power cord across sharp edges and en-sure that it does not get pressed.
• The voltage indicated on the type plate must correspond to the voltage of the electrical source.
• To avoid risks, all repairs and replacement of spare parts may only be carried out by the authorised customer service personnel.
• Operate pumps only on sock-ets that are equipped with a fault current protection switch with a nominal fault current of max. 30 mA and a protective-earth contact (earthing).
• Check the fault current pro-tection switch and the protec-tive earth contact (earthing) for proper function at regular intervals.
• Never operate the pumps while there are persons in the pool or garden pond.
• In Austria pumps to be used in swimming pools and gar-den ponds should be equipped with a fixed connec-tion line according to ÖVE B/EN 60555 Part 1 to 3; power supply should be via a ÖVE-tested isolating transformer whereby the secondary nom-inal voltage should not ex-ceed 230V.
• The electrical connection of the system may only be per-formed by a qualified electri-cian. Please follow the re-spective national regulations!

Proper use

This appliance has been designed for use in private households and is not intended for commercial use. The manufacturer is not responsible for any damages that may occur on account of improper use or wrong operations. The device is mainly intended for draining building parts in case of flooding, but also for pumping over or out con-tainers, for water removal from wells and shafts as well as for draining water from boats and yachts, provided that it is freshwater.

NOTICE

The device is not suitable for continuous pump operation (e.g. continuous circulation in a pond) or as a stationary installation (e.g. lifting device, fountain pump).

Approved feed fluids

• Freshwater up to a certain degree of soiling
• Water from swimming pool (provided the dosing of additives is proper)
• Washing lye
• Water with a degree of contamination up to a grain size of 20 mm

DANGER

Risk of injury, risk of damage! Caustic, slightly inflam-mable and other explosive substances (such as petrol, petroleum, diluted nitrogen), greases, oils, salt water and waste water from toilets as well as sludgy water that has a slower flow capacity than water, must not be transported with this pump. The temperature of the de-livered fluid must be between 5 °C and 35 °C.

**Startup

**

NOTICE

The shorter the hose length and the larger the hose di-ameter, the higher the pump capacity. To prevent clogging of the pump, use a prefilter with hose diameters of less than 1¼ “. The pump connection is equipped with a plug system (Quick-Connect). The unmounted connection nozzle is enclosed in the device.

Illustration A

• To remove the connection nozzle, press the Quick-Connect (grey button).

Illustration B

• Slide the hose clamp onto the hose. If a ¾“ or 1“ hose is used:
• Screw pump connecting piece (see special acces-sory) onto the connection nozzle.
• Slide the hose onto the pump connecting piece and secure it by means of a hose clamp.
• Slide the connection nozzle into the Quick-Connect.

NOTICE

To increase the flow volume, the pump connecting piece can be shortened according to the hose used. If a 1¼ “ hose is used:

• Slide the hose onto the connection nozzle and se-cure by means of a hose clamp.
• Slide the connection nozzle into the Quick-Connect.

Illustration D

• Snap the float switch into the height adjustment.
• Safely place the pump on a stable surface in the feed fluid or immerse it using a rope tied to the car-rying handle.

NOTICE

The suction area must not be blocked by soiling. In case of muddy ground, place the pump on a brick or the like. Ensure that the pump is level. Do not carry the pump on the cable or the hose.

Operation

DANGER

Risk of mortal danger on account of electric shock!Do not touch feed fluids, the rope attached to the carry-ing handle as well as objects that are in contact with the feed fluid (e.g. pipelines extending into the water, rail- ings, etc.).

Automatic venting device

Illustration C

With a low fluid level, possibly drawn air or air that is present in the pump escapes via the automatic venting device. In addition, fluid may leak at this spot. If the pump has suction problems with a low fluid level, unplug and plug in the mains plug repeatedly in order to support the suction process.

Automatic operation

Illustration E

• Adjust the float switch via the height adjustment and the cable length between float switch and height adjustment.

NOTICE

In the automatic mode, the float switch controls the pumping operations automatically . The pump switches on as soon as the float switch has reached the switch-on height due to the rising fluid level. The pump switches off as soon as the float switch has reached the switch-off height due to the falling fluid level. Ensure that the float switch is not obstructed in any way. The cable between the float switch and the lock must be at least 2.5 cm long. Switch-on height / switch-off height (float switch in the lowest position):

The switching height can vary depending on the position of the float switch. Likewise, the cable length between the float switch and the lock can influence the switching heights. We recommend retaining the preset cable length.

• Insert the mains plug into the socket.

Manual operation

Illustration F

Secure the nose on the float switch into the opening of the lock pointing up.

NOTICE

In manual operation, the pump remains switched on continuously. The fluid level must be at least 60mm for the pump to draw independently in manual mode. The pump can pump up to a residual fluid height of 25 mm. The stated residual fluid height is only achieved in manual operation.

• Insert the mains plug into the socket.

ATTENTION

Risk of damage! Dry running leads to increased wear; never leave the pump unattended during manual oper-ation. Switch off immediately in case of dry running.

Finish operation

NOTICE

Soiling can deposit and lead to malfunctions.

• Pump clear water or thoroughly rinse the pump after every use. This especially applies after pumping chlorinated water or other liquids that leave residue.
• Disconnect the main plug from the socket.

Maintenance

The pump is maintenance-free.

Transport

CAUTION

In order to prevent accidents or injuries, keep in mind the weight of the appliance during transport (see Specifications).

• Lift and carry the pump on the carrying handle.
• If you want to transport the appliance on a vehicle secure it from slipping.

Storage

CAUTION

In order to prevent accidents or injuries, keep in mind the weight of the appliance when selecting a storage lo-cation for it (see Specifications).

Storing the pump

• Completely drain the pump and allow it to dry.
• Store the pump in a frost-free place.
