SET-UP & INSTALLATION (cont.)
Adjusting the float switch
Automatic & Manual mode:
1.
The pump has a pre-set float switch (8). To
change the setting and use the pump in
Manual mode, reduce or increase the length of
the float switch cable (10) by inserting it in the
float switch adjustors (9) on the rear of the
pump (Fig. 9 & 10).
3.
When the float switch cable (10) is able to move freely (float switch adjustors (9) is not in use),
the pump will function in Automatic mode down to a water depth of 150mm. Restricting the length
of the float switch cable (10) by using the float switch adjustor (9), results in the pump ceasing
operation at higher water depths.
3.
The length of the float switch cable (10) between the lower float switch adjustor (9) and the float
switch (8) must be at least 100mm in order for the float switch (8) to activate and de-activate.
Manual Override:
1.
By fully extending the float switch cable (10) in the cord restraint (11) on the outlet pipe will
manually override the float switch. In this position the pump will not de-activate.
CAUTION:
You must observe the pump at all times when operating manually.
2.
To cease operation, turn Off the mains power.
OPERATION
1.
When the float switch (8) is 30° higher than horizontal (start up level) or
above the handle (1), the pump will turn ‘on’ and operate (water depth
of 500mm) (Fig. 11).
ATTENTION:
The pump runs as soon as the float switch (8) reaches the
start-up level.
2.
When the float switch (8) is 30° lower than horizontal or below the
handle (1), the pump will turn ‘off’ and will not operate (water depth of
approximately 150mm) (Fig. 12). You can alternatively, manually turn the
pump off at the mains power.
ATTENTION:
If you wish to use the pump down to the minimum water depth
of 10mm, the float switch (8) will need to be operated manually. The pump
can be manually turned “on” by lifting the float switch (8) to the required level.
CAUTION:
You must observe the pump at all times when operating manually.
Note:
If you manually turn the pump off, be aware of the location of your hose or tube (not included).
If it is at a lower point than the pump, the water will continue to ‘siphon’ out, unless a non-return valve
(not included) is used in the hose or tube and turned off.
Turning On and Off
1.
Insert the plug into the mains power socket (Fig. 13). Avoid using
extension cords as this can lead to a voltage drop which may
cause power loss and overheating.
2.
Switch on the mains power to commence operation.
3.
To cease operation, turn off the mains power. The pump will also
stop operation automatically once the float switch (8) reaches the
minimum water depth (150mm).
