•
Protect the pump‘s power cord from damage.
Wind a protective material, e.g. a textile, around the
location where the power cord comes into contact with
a sharp or coarse edge.
•
Before taking the pump out of the pumped
liquid, before handling it or repair works, disco-
nnect the power plug from the power socket.
•
Never carry or suspend the pump by the power
cord or the float switch power cord.
•
All work with the electrical accessories or inter-
nal parts of the pump may only be performed by
an authorised service centre for the Extol® brand
(you will find the servicing locations at the web-
site at the start of this user‘s manual).
•
Avoid reducing the flow rate while the pump is
running as a result of a reduction of the delivery
hose diameter (e.g. by bending it) or damaging
the hose by sharp items.
•
Make sure that no abrasive loose material (e.g. sand)
or other inappropriate materials or chemicals enter
the pumped liquid when the pump is running.
•
When the pump is not used for an extended peri-
od of time, do not leave it in the pumped liquid.
•
Do not leave a pump that is not being used in the
liquid in freezing temperatures.
If the remaining pumped liquid in the pump freezes,
never use a flame or any direct heat source to defrost it.
Simply move the pump to an area that is at room tem-
perature and allow the frozen water to melt. Use the
pump in the pumping water and ambient air tempera-
ture range indicated in the technical specifications.
•
This appliance can be used by children aged 8 years
and older if they are properly supervised or in cases
where they have been instructed to use an appliance in
a safe manner and understand the potential dangers.
The user may not allow children to perform cleaning
and maintenance if they are not older than 8 years and
under supervision. Keep the appliance and its power
cord out of the reach of children younger than 8 years.
The appliance may be used by persons with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities or with a lack
of experience and knowledge, if they are supervised
or have been instructed to use the appliance in a safe
manner and understand the potential dangers.
Children must not play with the appliance.
PUTTING THE PUMP OUT OF OPERATION
1. Disconnect the pump from the power supply,
take the pump out of the pumped liquid and sub-
merge it in a container filled with clean water.
2. Turn on the pump and thoroughly flush the
inner parts of the pump by pumping clean
water through it.
3. Disconnect the pump from the power supply and
take it out of the container filled with water.
VI. Cleaning and
maintenance
•
ATTENTION
•
Prior to any handling of the pump, disconnect its power
cord from the power socket.
•
Keep the pump clean. It is necessary to thoroughly
flush the pump with clean water after use and to rid
it of stuck on material so that the impeller and the
passageways are not blocked by dried dirt (see para-
graph above „Putting the pump out of operation“).
•
Do not use organic solvents for cleaning as this would
result in damage to the plastic of the pump unit.
•
Regularly inspect all the parts of the pump for wear
and damage.
•
Damaged parts must be replaced with the original
parts of the manufacturer.
•
For warranty repairs, please contact the vendor from
whom you purchased the product and they will arrange
for repairs at an authorised service centre for the Extol®
brand. For a post warranty repair, please contact the
authorised service centre for the Extol® brand directly
(you will find the servicing locations at the website at
the start of this user‘s manual).
•
Do not rebuild the pump in any way for other applications.
TURNING ON / OFF
•
Connect the power cord to an electrical power socket.
•
The operation of the pump‘s electric motor is automati-
cally controlled by the position of the float switch rela-
tive to the level of the liquid being pumped, see fig. 2.
TURNING IT OFF
•
To immediately turn the pump off, disconnect the
power cord from the power socket, otherwise the motor
is turned on and off by the position of the float switch.
Note:
•
The pump is equipped with thermal protection that
protects the electric motor against overheating as
a result of insufficient cooling of the pump‘s case or
overloading of the motor. If the thermal protection is
activated, disconnect the pump from the power socket,
remove the cause of the overloading and wait until the
motor cools down. The fact that the pump is equipped
with thermal protection does not authorise the opera-
tor to overload the pump!
•
ATTENTION
•
Always disconnect the pump from the power supply
before pulling it out of the pumped liquid.
FUNDAMENTALS OF WORKING WITH
THE PUMP AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•
Before using the pump, thoroughly acquaint
yourself with its correct operation and respect
the limit conditions for its use.
•
Connect the pump to a socket equipped with
a fault interrupter (residual current device)
– with break current of 30 mA in order to provide
protection against injury by electrical shock.
This
protection device must be installed in a fixed electrical
circuit and must be retested prior to every use.
•
Protect the power socket against moisture and
against being flooded with water.
•
Never use the pump for pumping liquids contai-
ning substances causing corrosion (acids, lye,
bleaches), abrasive particles (e.g. sand), further-
more flammable and viscous liquids and food
such as milk, oil, etc.
•
After pumping chemically treated water from
a swimming pool, flush out the pump with clean
water because pool water has corrosive effects.
•
When the pump is running or under current, avoid
coming into contact with the pumped liquid or
conductive parts of the container and/or the metal
suspension chain and ensure that people or ani-
mals do not come into contact with the pumped
liquid as this could result in injury by electrical
shock in the event of a malfunction of the pump or
if the insulation of the power cord is damaged.
•
When pumping liquids that could cause negative
reactions to the organism, use protective aids
(glasses, gloves, etc.) when handling the pump and
maintain a safe distance from the pumped liquid.
•
Make sure that the pump is not located in heavy
sediments (e.g. in mud, etc.).
•
Always make sure that the pump is submerged in
the pumped liquid while running.
Otherwise there will not be sufficient cooling of the
pump‘s case, which will result in a frequent activation
of the thermal protection of the electric motor and sub-
sequent turning off of the pump, which may damage
the electric motor.
•
The pump usually heats up during operation, turn
it off and allow it to cool down before handling it.
•
Lubricants may escape from the pump into the
pumped and surrounding liquid during opera-
tion. For this reason, do not use the pump for
pumping drinking water and water from protec-
ted water sources.
•
Prevent the pump from running without liquid,
e.g. running it dry by manually lifting the float
switch.
When the pump is run dry, the seal of the mechanical
plug around the impeller shaft is damaged. If the pump
is submerged and the float switch functions perfectly,
the pump should not run dry.
