OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Purpose of use

This pump may be used to transfer water from one location to another.
The appliance is intended for private household use and is not suitable for professional applications.
It is not suitable for work with waste water in sewage systems, salt water, aggressive or easily combustible substances, for work in food processing or as a pump for water jets on garden ponds.
It is not designed for pumping drinking water!

NOTE : Before using the submersible pump, please first carefully read all the safety instructions and instructions for use for the pump. Only after reading these instructions will you be able to safely and reliably use all the functions of the pump. You must conform to all local regulations in force in your country. These regulations are effective together with the particulars specified in these instructions.
ATTENTION ! If you will be using the pump near pools or garden ponds, or in their protective zone, the electrical grid must be equipped with a circuit breaker.
The pump must not be used if there are people in the pool or garden pond! Also do not use it if there are fishes or other living creatures in the pool or garden pond.
The submersible pump is designed to pump water at a maximum temperature of 35°C.
The pump must not be used for other liquids, particularly motor oils, cleaning agents and other chemical products!

PUTTING INTO OPERATION

ATTENTION ! You should never install the pump by hanging it on the outlet hose or power cord without additional support.
The submersible pump must be hung by the handle or placed on the tank bottom.
For the pump to function correctly, the pumped liquid must not contain foreign objects that are larger than specified in the overview of technical parameters.
After carefully reading these instructions you can prepare your pump for operation, however, keep the following points in mind:

Check if the pump is standing on the tank bottom or hung by the handle.
Check if the discharge hose has been attached correctly.
Ensure that the moisture from the water can never get to the electrical power source.
Prevent the pump from running empty.

Pump suction covers
The pump is equipped with 2 suction covers:

1. Cover for suction of sludge water – this cover allows suction of water containing solid impurities up to 30 mm (Fig. 2).
2. Clean water suction cover – with this cover it is possible to suck only slightly contaminated water with impurities up to 3 mm. The residual level is reduced by about 5 cm when using this cover (Fig. 3).
3. Low Suction function – the pump can be used without covers to achieve complete suction of the water. This function is useful in case of flooded cellars or other areas. Water should be free of solid impurities.

The residual level reaches only 1 mm (Fig. 4). For this function, we recommend using a hose check valve.

Replacing the suction cover
Unscrew the cover screw (1) and then release the cover lock (2) by pulling it away from the pump (Fig. 5). After fitting the new cover, secure it again with the screw. ATTENTION ! The pump must not be dry operated.
ATTENTION ! Risk of running dry – The pump is cooled using the pumped liquid. In the event of dry running, the pump motor may burn up.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

This submersible pump is approved as a maintenance-free product undergoing several final inspections.
We recommend you perform regular inspections and maintenance, which will ensure a long lifetime and continuous performance.
ATTENTION ! Disconnect the power source before performing any maintenance.
Maintenance
If the pump is regularly moved during operation, it should be rinsed out after each use with clean water.
If the pump is permanently installed, the working order of the float switch should be checked every 3 months.
Any fibrous deposits that could deposit themselves inside the pump, should be removed using a water current.
If an excessive amount of debris accumulates in the body of the pump, flush the pump out with clean water.
