4. Scope of delivery
The scope of the delivery of this product includes:
One pump with connection cable, one lowering rope, one multi-dimensional connection port, one operating
manual.
Please verify that the scope of delivery is complete. Depending on the purpose of the application, additional
accessories may be necessary (please refer to the chapters titled "Installation"
and “How to order spare parts“
).
If possible, keep the packing until the warranty period has expired. Please dispose of the packing materials in an
environmental-friendly manner.
5. Installation
5.1. General installation information
During the entire process of installation, the device must not be connected to the electrical
mains.
The pump and the entire connection system have to be protected from frost.
All connection lines have to be perfectly tight since leaking lines may affect the performance of the pump and
cause considerable damage. If required, please use a suitable sealant to make the installation airtight.
When tightening threaded connections, please do not apply excessive force which may cause damage.
When laying the connection pipes, you should make sure that the pump is not exposed to any form of weight,
vibration or tension. Moreover, the connection lines must not contain any kinks or an adverse slope.
5.2. Installation of the pressure line
The pressure line will convey the liquid from the pump to the point of withdrawal. To avoid friction losses, please
use a possibly large pressure line - ideally, its diameter should match that of the pump outlet.
To facilitate installation, the scope of delivery includes a multi-dimensional connection
port (10) offering the following connection options: male thread connector 41.91 mm (1
¼ "), hose connector with 25 and 32 mm internal diameter.
When using the male thread connector 41.91 mm (1 ¼ "), the multi-dimensional
connection port is to be used without modification. If you are using the hose connector
with 25 mm or 32 mm internal diameter, those parts of the multi-dimensional
connection port that are no longer needed are to be removed at the (a or b) cutting
points provided. To remove the unnecessary parts, please use a household saw.
Subsequently, please fasten the screw thread to the pressure port of the pump. When
doing so, please note that the inner face of the screw thread is subdivided. The end
with the longer thread is to be screwed to the pressure port.
5.3. Stationary installation
If the unit is used in a stationary installation, rigid pipes have proven to be the ideal choice for the pressure lines.
With this type of installation, the pressure line should be equipped with a check valve immediately downstream
the pump outlet to prevent liquid flowing back into the pump after it has cut out. To facilitate maintenance work,
we also recommend the installation of a stop cock valve downstream of the pump and check valve. This
arrangement is beneficial in that closing the stop cock will prevent the pressure line from running dry after the
disassembly of the pump.
5.4. How to position the pump
When positioning the pump, please make sure that the max. submersion depth indicated in the technical data will
not be exceeded. Likewise, please make sure that the minimum self-priming level is not fallen short of. If
everything is properly set, the water level may decrease down to the minimum suction level once the pump is
operating.
Please position the pump on solid ground. Avoid placing it on lose stones or sand. When positioning the pump,
please do make sure that the pump cannot tip over or sink into the ground with its intake openings. The
penetration of sand, mud or comparable matters is to be avoided.
To position, lift up or carry the pump, please use only the carrying handle. If required for lowering or raising the
pump, you may connect a suitable lowering rope to the carrying handle. In no case must the pressure hose, the
mains cable or the cable of the floating switch be used to position, to lift up or to carry the pump.
