UMP
• To switch off the pump, just pull the plug of the
electric cable from the socket.
Pumping out any remaining liquid
Before you can pump out any remaining liquid
below the cut-off (= STOP) level (see technical
data), you will have to operate the float switch
manually:
• Unplug the electric cable.
• Fix the float switch so that it remains in an upright
position.
• Plub in the electric cable. The pump will automa-
tically switch on and pump out any remaining
liquid.
While pumping out remaining liquid, make
sure to keep the pump under observation
and turn it off by pulling the plug when the liquid
has been completely pumped out, so that the pump
does not suck air, as this may damage your pump.
If the level of the remaining water drops
(below 5 mm), the pump will suck in air.
Before using the pump again to drain liquid, the
air trapped in the pump will have to be let out (see
Setting up and Operating the Pump).
Adjusting the cut-in and cut-off levels
The float switch cable is attached to the pump
housing. You can adjust the cut-in = START and
cut-off = STOP levels for operation by simply
changing the height of the switch as desired.
Recommended length of the float switch cable is
approx. 120 mm.

LEANING
Before beginning any maintenance or
cleaning work, make sure that the pump has
been unplugged and take precautions to ensure
that it cannot be switched on during work!
Cleaning the pump
– If you have used your pump to pump chlorine
water (pool water) or liquids which leave a
residue, flush your pump out with clear water
after use.
– Clean the suction slots located in the suction
body with clear water as required.
Protect from frost
Your pump is susceptible to low temperatures.
Make sure to empty the pump of residual liquid
and store it so that it is protected from frost.
