Operational start-up

A. Assembly
Fitting the lower aluminium pipe

1. Insert the large sealing ring (15) into the adapter (11) of the pressure connection.
2. Screw the adapter (11) to the pressure connection (21) of the pump.
3. Clip the pipe holder (12) with the midd-le holder to the aluminium pipe. The mounting rail of the pipe holder (12) must point downwards.
4. Insert one of the two medium-sized sealing rings (14) into the screw sleeve (20).
5. Place an aluminium pipe (19) onto the adapter (11) and screw it with the screw sleeve (20).
6. Push the pipe holder (12) onto the alu-minium pipe downwards until it enga-ges in the recess on the device.

Fitting the upper aluminium pipe

1. Connect the lower and upper aluminium pipe (19) using the connector (10). Place one of the small sealing rings (13) between the connector (10) and each of the two screw sleeves (18).

Fitting the plastic hook

1. Loosen the wing nut (8) on the plastic hook (7).
2. Remove the screw (9) from the plastic handle.
3. Clip the plastic hook (7) onto the upper aluminium pipe (19).
4. Fix the plastic hook (7) with the screw (9) and wing nut (8).

Fitting the flexible pipe

1. Insert the medium-sized sealing ring (14) into the screw sleeve (20).
2. Push the flexible pipe (17) onto the upper aluminium pipe (19) and screw it with the screw sleeve (20).

Immersing the pump

Be careful not to hold or hang the unit by the mains connection cable. There is a risk of electric shock due to damaged mains connection cables.

When immersing the pump, make sure that the shut-off valve(16) is open to ensure that the pump is vented.

• Use the plastic hook (7) or attach a rope to the pump‘s carrying handle (2) to immerse or raise the pump. Never hang the unit directly from the bent pipe or water hose.

• You can adjust the height of the plastic hook after loosening the wing nut (8).
  This way you can hang the pump in a rain barrel without it touching the ground and sucking in possible sediment.

• When the water level is low, you can also place the pump in the rain barrel.
  The shut-off valve must protrude over the edge of the container.
  Beware of dirt and sand accumulating at the bottom of the barrel over time, which could damage the pump.
  We recommend placing the pump on a brick.

Mains connection

The pump you have purchased is already equipped with a safety plug. The pump is intended for connection to an earthed socket with residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) with 230 V ~ 50 Hz.

Dear Customer,
This equipment is provided with a 3-year guarantee from the date of purchase.
In case of defects, you have statutory rights against the seller of the product. These statutory rights are not restricted by our guarantee presented below.

Terms of Guarantee
The term of the guarantee begins on the date of purchase. Please retain the original receipt. This document is required as proof of purchase. If a material or manufacturing defect occurs within three years of the date of purchase of this product, we will repair or replace – at our choice – the product for you free of charge. This guarantee requires the defective equipment and proof of purchase to be presented within the three-year period with a brief written description of what constitutes the defect and when it occurred.
If the defect is covered by our guarantee, you will receive either the repaired product or a new product. No new guarantee period be-gins on repair or replacement of the product.

Guarantee Period and Statutory Claims for Defects
The guarantee period is not extended by the guarantee service. This also applies for replaced or repaired parts. Any damages and defects already present at the time of purchase must be reported immediately af-ter unpacking. Repairs arising after expiry of the guarantee period are chargeable.

Guarantee Cover
The equipment has been carefully produced in accordance with strict quality guidelines and conscientiously checked prior to delivery. The guarantee applies for all material and manufacturing defects. This guarantee does not extend to cover product parts that are subject to normal wear and may there- fore be considered as wearing parts (e.g. backflow stop, sealing ring) or to cover damage to breakable parts (e.g. switches). This guarantee shall be invalid if the prod-uct has been damaged, used incorrectly or not maintained. Precise adherence to all of the instructions specified in the operating manual is required for proper use of the product. Intended uses and actions against which the operating manual advises or warns must be categorically avoided. The product is designed only for private and not commercial use. The guarantee will be invalidated in case of misuse or improper handling, use of force, or inter-ventions not undertaken by our authorised service branch.

In the case of pumping water contain-ing sand or aggressive liquids or other incorrect, non-design-appropriate use, as well as in case of non-observance of the operating manual, application of force in use or inappropriate or insufficient main-tenance, no guarantee claim exists, since seals, impeller wheel, motor or other parts are damaged by this. Also, sewage water pumps are not suitable for the pumping of abrasive materials (sand, stone).
Note: submersible pumps are drainage pumps. This kind of pump is constructed with the purpose of transporting or removing a certain volume of water – depending on its output category – as quickly as possible. Submersible pumps are not intended as irrigation (for example, in garden irrigation systems) or as constant water-flow pumps (such as in artificial streams or ornamental fountains).

Inappropriate use will invalidate the warranty. Periodically check that the float switch is operational. Warranty and liability claims will be void in case on non-compliance or if the pump runs dry.

In particular, the guarantee is likewise void in the case of employment of the sewage water pumps without base plate or (this applies for all pumps) in case of damages which are caused by supporting on or sus-pending from the mains cable. The pumps must not be run dry or exposed to frost.
