Dirty Water Pump
171682
Note:
This pump is equipped with an automatic de-aerating device, which
removes air from the pump. If the water level drops below the Air Vent Valve
(3), a small amount of water will penetrate through the Air Vent Valve. This is
not a defect of your pump, but serves to remove air from the pump.
Float switch operation
• After set up is complete and the pump is connected to the power supply,
it will operate automatically and will start pumping provided the water
level is sufficient
• As the water level drops to minimum safe level, the pump will
automatically switch off
Manual operation
• To manually operate the pump, connect to the power supply and
manually lift the Float Switch (2) to switch the pump on
WARNING:
Dry-running operation causes increased wear and is to be
avoided. The pump must be immediately switched off when water fails
to flow.
Note:
In case the pump was allowed to nearly run dry, it may not start to
pump water again, once water levels are restored. In this case, switch the
pump off for a short time and back on. This will restore proper operation of
the Air Vent Valve (3).
Accessories
• Accessories including water hoses and hose clips are available from your
Silverline dealer. Spare parts can be obtained from toolsparesonline.com
