USING THE PUMP
CAUTION!
CHECK THE PUMP FOR DAMAGE BEFORE USE, DO NOT USE THE PUMP IF IT IS
DAMAGED IN ANY WAY
1
Place the pump on a flat surface in the area that you want to drain.
•
If there is sediment in the operating area, the pump should be placed on
house bricks, or similar.
•
Ensure the pump is positioned with adequate space so that the movement of
the float switch is not restricted - recommended minimum area of 40 x 40cm
•
ALWAYS raise and lower the pump using a rope attached to the lifting handle.
•
Take all necessary precautions as described on page 4 before plugging in, and
switching ON.
WARNING!
NEVER CARRY THE PUMP USING THE MAINS POWER CABLE. DAMAGE TO
ELECTRICAL CABLES CAN BE DANGEROUS. ALWAYS USE THE HANDLE WHEN
MOVING THE PUMP.
2
Connect the mains plug to a high sensitivity residual current device (RCD) which
has a tripping current of less then 30mA.
3
Switch the mains power supply on,
•
The pump incorporates a float switch, which automatically switches the pump
ON when the water is above a pre-determined level.
4
The pump will begin to drain water.
• As the water level falls, so will the float switch, until it stops the pump.
5
When the pumping is finished, disconnect the pump from the mains power supply
•
The pump is fitted with a thermal cut out to protect the motor from
overheating. If the thermal cut out activates, the motor will automatically
switch back on when it has cooled down sufficiently.
CAUTION!
DO NOT ALLOW THE PUMP TO RUN DRY.
