Information Concerning the Operating Instructions
Please read these operating instructions carefully. Follow the information given. Use the operating instructions to get acquainted with the proper use of your submersible pump.
**For safety reasons, people who are not familiar with these operating instructions should not use this Submersible Pump.
Following the operating instructions supplied by the manufacturer is a prerequisite for the proper use of the pump. -
Application Range and Liquids to be Pumped
Submersible pumps have been designed for private use around your house and garden. Submersible pumps are predominantly used for drainage after flooding, transferring liquids, draining containers, taking water from wells and shafts, draining boats and yachts as well as water aeration and circulation for limited period of time.
Only clean or slightly contaminated water can be handled by these pumps.
The max particle size allowable is 0.08”, 2mm, except the Trash Pump Model # ST-900SD which allows .25” or 6.35mm. Soapy water can also pass through the pumps without issue. These pumps are not designed for continuous operation (e.g. continuous circulating operation). If used for these applications, additional wear and tear will result.
WARNING
Corrosive, easily combustible, or explosive substances (e.g. gasoline, petroleum, nitro thinner), fats, oils, salt and waste water of toilets and urinals must not be pumped.
The temperature of the liquids handled must not exceed 35ºC.

Measures Before Operation
4.1 Hose Connection
Screw the supplied fittings onto the pump, as described in illustration C.
The universal fitting (7) allows connection of 1¼” (32mm), 1” (25mm), 3/4” (19mm) as well as of 1/3” (13mm) hoses, according to your individual requirements, 5/4” (32mm) hoses are connected to the pump via the step nipples of universal fitting, 3/4” (19mm ) and 1/2” (13mm) hoses with Hose connection system parts (illustration D). It is recommended to fix 1¼” (32mm) and 1” (25mm) hoses additional with a hose clamp.
Components of the universal fitting which you don’t require (when connecting 1¼” (32mm) hoses are detached with a knife from the universal fitting, illustration E.)
Best results in delivery capacity are achieved when using 5/4” (32mm) hoses.
4.2 Float Switch Adjustment
The float switch (5) automatically switches on the pump at a water height of approx. 21” (53cm) and automatically switches off at a water height of approx 2” (5cm) by fixing the float switch cable to the float switch lock (3).
The cut-in/cut-out height can be adjusted individually.
4.3 Location and Transport
• Please ensure that the pump is placed in a stable position, especially for automatic operation.
• In the event of automatic operation, ensure that the float switch is able to to move freely.
• Take care that the pump is located in a way ensuring that the inlet openings at the suctions base are obstructed neither completely nor partly. Therefore, it is advisable to place the pump for example on a brick.
• Don’t use power cable or float switch for carrying or hanging up the pump. When submerging the pump in wells or shafts, please use a rope fastened to the carrying handle (2). -
Operation
5.1 Automatic Operation
After having connected the power cable, the pump is automatically switched on at a definite water height (cut-in height) and switches off as soon as the water level drops down to a definite water height (cut-out height).
5.2 Manual Operation
In case of manual operation, the Submersible Pump starts when the power cable has been connected and the float switch has been lifted. -
Safety Tips before Operation
• For safety reasons, the Submersible Pump should always be operated via a circuit breaker safety switch (FI switch) with rated fault current of <30mA.
• Always check the pump (above all power cable and plug) before each operation. A damaged pump must not be used. It is absolutely necessary to have the pump inspected by a service center.
• Ensure that the electrical connections are made within a dry area, protected from flooding.
• Protect plug and power cable (1) from heat, oil and sharp edges.
• Check line voltage. Data indicated on the type plate must match technical data of the main supply.
• Children are not allowed to operate the pump. Ensure that they are kept away from the work area.
• Before use, clear the outlet first.
Observe the minimum water level (see point 9, “Technical Data”).
Observe max. delivery height (see point 9, “Technical Data”).
Have a professional electrician or your service center replace the damaged cable. Please use a protective switch (drain current is no more than 30mA).
WARNING
Always unplug the pump before performing maintenance.
Repairs on electrical parts should only be done at a Service Center.

Operating Tips
• Dry-running operation causes increased wear and should be avoided at all costs. This means that the unit must be switched off if water ceases to flow at any point.
• The pump is automatically switched off upon overheating by the built-in thermal motor protector. After having cooled down, the motor automatically switches on again. For more information, see Trouble Shooting Guide, point 10.
• When unplugging the unit, pull from the shell, not the cord.
• The power cable (1) must not be used for mounting or relocating the pump for submerging or lifting/securing the pump. Fix a rope to the carrying handle (2).
• After pumping chlorinated swimming pool water or other liquids that can leave residue, the pump should be rinsed with clear water.
• Sand and other abrasive material in the liquid cause increased wear, reducing the output of the pump over time.
• Avoid running of the pump for more than 10 mins against closed delivery side of the pump.
• The Submersible Pumps drains up to a residual water height of approx. 0.2” (5mm). This flat suction height is only reached during manual operation (see point 5, “Operation”), but not during automatic operation.
• The Submersible Pump is equipped with an automatic deaerating device whose function is to remove probable air pockets in the pump. If the water level drops below the vent valve (4), some water flows penetrates outside through the vent valve. This is not a defect of your pump, but rather serves to deaerate the pump.
• In the event of manual operation, the pump has sucked off completely and water flows again after the pump operation, the pump isn’t deaerated automatically.
Then, the pump has to be switched off for a short time and then switched on again. -
Maintenance, Care and Storage.
Submersible pumps are virtually maintenance free. That being said, it is important to ensure that they are not used for anything other than their intended application. Misuse can permanently damage the pump.
In case of contamination inside the pump, the suction base (6) can be taken off by unscrewing the 3 Phillips recessed head screws (8).
This the turbine space can be cleaned. For safety reasons, a damaged turbine (9) can only be exchanged by the Service Center.
To protect the pump from frost damage, store the pump in a dry place.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
- Trouble-Shooting Guide
Problem| Probable Cause| Remedy
---|---|---
Pump is running but doesn’t transfer water.| Air cannot escape, since pressure line is closed.| Open pressure line
(e.g. kinked pressure pipe.)
Air locks in the suction base.| Wait for max 60 seconds until the pump deaerates automatically over the vent valve. If necessary, switch off and start it again.
Turbine clogged| Clean turbine (point 8).
When starting the pump, water height falls below the min. water level.| Submerge pump deeper (see min. water level, point 9.)
Pump doesn’t start or suddenly stops during operation.| Thermal overload switch has switched the pump off due to overheating.| Disconnect plug and clean turbine.
(point 8). Note that max water temp is 35ºC.
No power| Check fuses and electrical connections
Dirt particles (e.g. pebbles) are jammed in the suction base.| Disconnect plug and clean suction base (point 8).
Pump runs but output suddenly
decreases.| Suction base is clogged.| Disconnect plug and clean suction base (point 8).
