PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

This documentation describes various different models of immersion pumps. Identify your model using the identification plate.
Product overview

1. Carrying handle
2. Connection cable
3. Float switch cable
4. Pump housing
5. Combination adapter
6. Float switch
7. Connection elbow
8. Suction slots

Function
The immersion pump draws the conveying medium through the suction slots directly and feeds it to the pump outlet. It is switched on and off using a float switch.
Designated use
The immersion pump is designed for private use in the house and garden. It must only be operated within the framework of the deployment limitations in accordance with the technical data.
The immersion pump is suitable for:

• Water removal in the event of a flood
• Re-pumping and pumping out from vessels (e.g. swimming pools)
• Water removal from streams and shafts
• Water removal from drains and trickle shafts.
  ➯ only on DRAIN pump

The immersion pump is only suitable for conveying the following fluids:

• Clear water, rainwater
• Chlorine-containing water (e.g. swimming pools)
• Waste water
• Dirty water having a suspended matter proportion of max. 5 % and a grain size of max. 30 mm diameter.
  ➯ only on DRAIN pump

Any use not in accordance with this designated use shall be regarded as misuse.
Possible misuse
The immersion pump must not be used continuously. They are not suitable for conveying:

• Drinking water
• Salt water
• Foodstuffs
• Aggressive media, chemicals
• Corrosive, flammable, explosive or fuming
• Fluids fluids that are hotter than 35 °C
• Water containing sand and abrasive fluids.
  ➯ only on Drain pump

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.
Operate the unit only if the immersion pump is fully immersed.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION!
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
CAUTION!
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

Mounting the pressure line
see Fig. A

1. Screw the connection elbow (7) into the pump outlet.
2. Screw the combination nipple (5) into the connection elbow.
3. Fix a hose to the combination nipple.

**** The combination nipple can be trimmed to suit the selected hose connection. Use the largest possible hose diameter.

STARTUP

Safety
CAUTION!
Exclude, by suitable means, that, in the event of a fault in the immersion pump, consequential damage is caused by flooding.

• Make sure that the immersion pump is standing securely or operate the immersion pump suspended from a rope.
• Make sure there is adequate clearance under the pump.
• Never allow the immersion pump to run against a closed off pressure line.
• When using in shafts, make sure the size is adequate.
• Always cover the shaft with a secure footplate.

Switching the pump on
see Fig. A
CAUTION!
The immersion pump must not draw in any solid bodies. Sand and other abrasive materials in the conveying medium will destroy the immersion pump.

1. Unwind the connection cable (2) completely.

2. Make sure that the electrical plug connection is mounted in the area safe from flooding.

3. Change the terminal position and adjust the switching points of the float switch (3) individually.

4. Attach the cable on the float switch to the pump housing securely.
   ➯ Recommended cable length on the float switch approx. 120 mm
   Use a suitable plate to ensure secure mounting of the immersion pump on muddy, sandy or stony ground.

5. Immerse the immersion pump in the conveying medium slowly. Hold the immersion pump at a slight angle to allow any air to escape.

6. Insert the mains plug into the plug socket.
   ➯ The immersion pump switches on automatically using the float switch when a specific water level has been reached, and switches off again if the water drops below the switch-off height.

Switching the pump off

1. Remove the mains plug from the plug socket.

Pumping out to residual water level
CAUTION!
Monitor the pump continuously when pumping out to the residual water level and avoid the pump running dry. Take the pump out of service when the residual water level is reached by pulling out the mains plug.
The float switch must be operated manually to pump to the residual water level:

1. Remove the mains plug from the plug socket.
2. Lay the float switch up and fix it in position.
3. Insert the mains plug into the plug socket. The pump switches on and starts to feed.

**** If the water drops below the residual water level, (under 10/40 mm), the pump will draw air in. In this case, the pump must be vented when the water level rises and before using it again.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE

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

1. Clean the suction slots on the suction foot if necessary with clear water.

STORAGE
** In the event of a risk of frost, the system must be drained completely.
DISPOSAL
Do not dispose of old equipment,batteries or accumulators as household waste!**
Product, packaging, and accessories were made with recyclable materials, and should be disposed of accordingly.

HELP IN CASE OF MALFUNCTIONS

CAUTION!
Disconnect the mains plug before any fault rectification work! Faults in the electrical system must be rectified by a qualified electrician.

Clean with a suitable tool through the opening at the back of the motor housing.
Thermal protection switch has switched off.| Wait until the thermal protection switch on the immersion pump switches on again. Take note of the maximum temperature of the conveying medium.
Have the immersion pump inspected.
No mains power.| Check the fuses, have the power supply checked by a qualified electrician.
Float switch does not switch off when the water level rises.| Send the immersion pump to an ALKO service facility.
Pump running but does not feed.| Air in pump housing.| Vent the immersion pump by holding it at an angle.
Blockage on the suction side.| Remove dirt in the suction area.
Pressure line closed off.| Open the pressure lone.
Pressure hose kinked.| Extend the pressure hose.
Feed rate too low| Hose diameter too small.| Use a bigger pressure hose.
Blockage on the suction side.| Remove dirt in the suction area.
Feed head to high.| Observe max. feed head, see technical data!

**** If the faults cannot be rectified, please contact our customer service department.
