Controls before
operational start-up
• Check that the fl oat switch is working
(see chapter: “Operation“).
• Check that the pump is resting on the
pit base
• Check that the pressure line has been
attached properly
• Check the proper status of the electri-
cal plug socket and make sure that the
plug socket is suffi ciently fused (at least
6 A). Insert the pump plug into the
plug socket and the pump is ready for
operation.
• Make sure that moisture or water never

• The minimum water level on initial
start-up must be 50 mm.
Operation
Mains connection
The submersible water pump acquired by
you is already provided with an grounded
plug. The equipment is designed for con-
nection to an earthed wall socket with a
residual current operated device (RCD
switch) at 230 V ~ 50 Hz.
Only start to operate the device
after all the above conditions have
been observed.
Switching on and off
1. Insert the plug in the socket. The pump
starts working immediately.
The pump immediately starts running
when the swimming switch is in the
correct position (see „Automatic opera-
tion“ and „Manual operation“).
2. To switch off, withdraw the plug from
the socket. The pump stops.
If the water level is too low, the
fl oat switch will automatically
switch off the pump.
Monitor the device during operati-
on to detect in adequate time if the
clear water submersible pump is running
dry and prevent damage.
Automatic mode
In automatic mode, the fl oat switch (5) au-
tomatically switches the pump on or off.
In the case of stationary installation,
check regularly (no less then once
every three months) that the fl oat
switch (5) is working.
The On/Off switching point of the fl oat
switch (5) can be set in 3 increments, see
illustration
Float switch guide (8).
You can vary the switch-on and switch-off
point by:
- adjust the position of the fl oat switch
height adjustment (6) on the fl oat
switch guide (8).
1. Press the fl oat switch height adjust-
ment (6) on the fl oat switch guide (8)
together and bring into the desired
position.
2. Release the fl oat switch height adjust-
ment (6) again. The fl oat switch height
adjustment (6) engages in the fl oat
switch guide (8).
- varying the length of the fl oat switch
cable (7). Push/pull the cable (7)
through the eye on the retaining clip
(6) for this.
