INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING
Attach a sufficiently long and strong rope to the
handle before first use. The pump is submerged
into the liquid on this holding rope and can also
be carried with it as well as with the handle.
NOTE: In the case of continuous use of the pump
with the rope, the condition of the rope must
be checked regularly as it can decay and break
over time.
CONNECT PRESSURE PIPE
For occasional use, make sure to use a suitable
water hose. The use of rigid pipes with a non-
return valve is recommended for use at a fixed
location. This prevents return flow of the liquid
when switching off.
- Screw pressure line onto the pressure connec-
tion.
• All threaded connections must be sealed with
thread sealing tape.
- When using a hose, screw a suitable hose
adapter onto the pressure connection.
- Push the hose firmly onto the hose adapter
and secure with a hose clamp.
INSTALLATION
The appliance needs an area of at least 50 x 50
cm (the float switch must be able to move freely
so that it functions properly).
The appliance can be submerged under water
up to the submerged operating depth men-
tioned in the technical data.
Install the appliance so that the suction open-
ings cannot be blocked by foreign bodies (place
the appliance on a firm, even base if necessary).
· Ensure that the appliance is stable.
RISK OF DAMAGE TO THE APPLIANCE!
WARNING: Do not lift the pump with the
cable or pressure hose as these are not designed
for the tensile stress from the weight of the
pump.
- Submerge the pump at an angle into the liquid
to be delivered so that no air pocket forms on
the underside of the appliance. Suction would
be prevented by this. Once the pump is sub-
merged, it can be righted again.
- Leave the pump on the bottom of the liquid
container. Use a strong rope attached to the car-
rying handle of the pump for lowering.
- Tighten the end of the rope firmly after lower-
ing.
IMPORTANT: The pump
can also be operated while
suspended on a rope.
NOTE: For operation with
rope; Do not operate the
pump without pressure hose.
Avoid the pump twisting
around its longitudinal axis.
OPERATION
WARNING: After the appliance has been
connected to the mains power supply, the pump
can start working.
DANGER: RISK OF DAMAGE TO THE APPLI-
ANCE. The float switch must be able to move so
that the submersible pump cannot run dry.
IMPORTANT: The liquid
can become contaminated as
a result of a leak of lubricant
that the pump contains.
For correct operation of the pump, it is impera-
tive that the float is free, the length of the cable
can be adjusted thanks to the groove that is in
the pump. For better operation leave a cable
length of not less than 15 cm.
MAINTENANCE
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning and maintenance overview.
BEFORE EVERY USE
· Visually inspect the casing and cables for dam-
age.
· Lift and shake the switch to check the free
movement of the contained metal balls. Check
float switch for damage.
AFTER EVERY USE: Clean the appliance.
CLEANING THE APPLIANCE EXTERNALLY
Rinse with clean water. Remove stubborn con-
tamination with a brush and detergent.
Submerge the pump in a container with clean
water and switch on for a short time to rinse the
inside of the pump.
CLEANING THE SUCTION AREA
- Clean all accessible insides of the casing. Re-
move fibres which have wound around the ro-
tor shaft by opening the pressure connection.
