V. OPERATION
5.1- Intended use
1. Clear/Dirty cellar type pumps are submersible pumps intended for domestic use. They are not
intended for commercial, artisanal and/or industrial uses. This pump should be used only for drying
out flooded premises or for pumping water out of wells or cellars.
2. This pump is designed to suck up clear and dirty water with particles in suspension that are less
than 5mm and 20mm in diameter respectively.
3. The pump is fully submersible: the immersion depth must not exceed 7m (refer to the technical
characteristics table).
4. The pump should not be used for sucking up liquids or materials that are corrosive, combustible
or explosive; fats, oils, heavily dirty water and waste water from toilet, food liquids…
5. The temperature of liquids sucked up should not exceed 35°C.
6. Any other use, other than that described in the instructions, is likely to damage the pump and to
put the user in serious danger.
5.2- Operation
Set the pump in clear water or dirty water mode according to your needs.
Install the pump.
Connect pump to mains power.
5.2.1- In automatic functioning mode,
The pump will start and stop as soon as the float switch reaches the pre-set angles (see 4.3)
5.2.2- In manual functioning mode,
Raise the float switch to start the pump and lower it to stop the pump.
When it is under manual mode, the pump must be operated under user’s supervision.
5.2.3- Warning!
Never operate the pump empty and without water.
The pump is not designed for continuous operation!
The submersible pump must be immersed before switching on.
Place pump into water, then let it purge the air (air bubbles) then only you can connect it.
In automatic functioning, the filling-up time before float switch operates is enough to purge the air.
IMPORTANT: Regularly check the water level while the pump is running, to make sure it does not
drop too much and leave the pump running dry.
5.3- Advise for users
1. if discharge stops although the pump continues to function, switch it off immediately.
Unplug the pump from the mains and check to see what is causing the problem.
Never attempt to remove the turbine when the pump is still connected to the power supply.
2. The pump is fitted with a motor protected by a thermal safety. In the event of overheating, the
motor stops automatically.
Switch off the pump (or unplug from power source), allow the motor to cool down before restarting it.
Never place hands anywhere near the turbine during this phase. If remedial action is necessary,
always unplug the pump from the power supply first.
3. The pump is also fitted with an automatic bleed device to evacuate any air that might have got into
the suction circuit.
When the water level drops below the vent located in the middle of the pump body, water is
evacuated by this hole so as to automatically bleed the circuit: this is not a fault but corresponds to a
normal function of the pump.
4. After having pumped dirty water, water containing sand or other material, the pump should be
rinsed with clear water.
