3. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
4. MAINTENANCE

WARNING! Ensure you read, understand and apply safety instructions.
Important: The maximum continuous running time for the pump is six hours, to be followed by
three hours downtime.
3.1. fit appropriate discharge pipe to pump outlet and secure with clip. Ensure the diameter of the discharge
pipe is same as or greater than the outlet diameter as a smaller pipe will adversely effect the pump flow
rate.
3.2. Position pump in the water accordingly, and place the outlet pipe securely in the discharge receptacle or
area. We recommend that the pump is sunk with its discharge outlet facing up to release any trapped air.
3.3. Plug the pump into the electrical mains supply and switch on.
The automatic versions will automatically turn on as the level of water rises (fig 2.A). As water level lowers,
the float will automatically switch the pump off as it reaches the minimum height (fig 2.B). float may be
adjusted by shortening or lengthening the cable. The pump will switch on if the water level is up to or
above the maximum length of the float cable. To function correctly the float must move freely. Ensure the
float can do so and that the cable is not restricted. check that the pump and discharge are working
correctly.
3.4. The water into which the pump is placed will act as the motor cooling agent. for this reason the pump
must remain submerged at all times. Should the pump have to be used in shallow water Do noT operate
for more than 10 minutes. failure to follow this rule will damage the unit and will invalidate your warranty.
NOTE: See figure 3 to determine minimum clearance required if using pump in a restricted area i.e. well, etc.

WARNING! With the exception listed below, all pump, float and electrical cable service maintenance and repair must only be
undertaken by an authorised service agent. Failure to observe this rule may be dangerous and will invalidate your warranty.

WARNING! Ensure the pump is disconnected from the mains power supply before attempting any service or maintenance.
4.1 Keep all parts of the pump clean. rinse, drain and allow to dry before storing pump.
4.2. regularly check the water inlet on the base of the pump to ensure there are no blockages. To access the impeller carefully undo the
base hex headed screws and remove base. clean impeller and replace base ensuring that the “o” - ring is correctly located.
Do noT dismantle any other part of the unit.
