• Submersible pump

• Universal hose connection

• Original operating instructions

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.

Before starting the equipment

Before you connect the equipment to the mains supply make sure that the data on the rating plate are identical to the mains data.
Warning!
Always pull the power plug before making adjustments to the equipment.

Installation
The equipment can be installed either:

• Stationary with a rigid pipe line
  or

• Stationary with a flexible hose line

Notice!

• Before you use the pump, clarify any possible special conditions which need to be fulfilled for the installation!
• For example, additional safety measures may be needed if damage to property could result from a power failure, soiling or a defective gasket.
• Examples of such safety measures:
• Pumps running in parallel on a separately protected power circuit, moisture sensors for switching off the pumps, and similar safety arrangements.
• Be sure to consult a professional plumber if you have any doubt.
• 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. If the universal hose connection (Fig. 1/ Item 4) is used, it should be shortened (as shown in Fig. 2) to the connection actually used in order not to reduce the pumping rate unnecessarily.
• Flexible hoses must be fastened to the universal hose connection with a hose clip (not included in the scope of supply).
• When installing, never hang the equipment by the discharge line or by the power cable. The equipment must be hung up with the provided carry handle 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

Mains connection
Danger!
The equipment you have purchased comes with an earthingpin plug. The equipment is designed for connection to a socket outlet with earthing contact for 230 V ~ 50 Hz. Make sure that the socket-outlet is sufficiently fused (at least 6 A) and in good working order. Insert the power plug in the socket-outlet and the equipment is ready for operation.

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.
• Make sure that the electrical connection is 230 V ~ 50 Hz.
• Check that the electrical socket-outlet is in good working order.
• Make sure that no moisture or water can ever reach the power connection.
• Make sure that the equipment does not run dry.
• To switch off the equipment, pull the power plug out of the socket outlet.
  Function of the integrated fl oating switch

Automatic mode:
The selector switch (A) must be in the lower position during automatic mode (Fig. 3). This activates the integrated fl oating switch. The activation height is approximately 14 cm. The pump switches off again at approximately 6 cm.

Manual mode/shallow water:
The selector switch (A) must be in the upper position to operate manually or in shallow water (Fig. 3). This bridges the integrated fl oating switch so that the equipment runs continuously. In manual mode water can be sucked up until a level of 5 mm remains.
Please note:
For the equipment to suck up water in manual mode there must be a minimum depth of 60 mm of water!
Important!
The equipment is not allowed to run dry!

Cleaning the paddle wheel

1. Unscrew the screws and remove the switch housing (2) (Fig. 3).

2. Unscrew the screws on the bottom of the pump and remove the intake cage (3) (Fig. 4).

3. Clean the paddle wheel with clear water.
   Important! Do not put down or rest the equipment on the paddle wheel!

4. Assemble in reverse order.
