This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
When handling the pump, while it is connected to the electric power supply, you should avoid all
contact with water.
Never remove the plug by pulling on the power cord.
Before taking any action on the pump, always remove the plug from the power socket.
2. USE
Powerful submersible pumps for draining and emptying, and for small-scale irrigation needs; they can be used
with dirty water containing particles in suspension up to a maximum dimension of 38mm.
The temperature of the fl uid being pumped must never exceed 35° C.
The pump must not be used to pump salt water, or flammable, corrosive or explosive liquids (e.g.
petroleum oil, petrol, thinners), grease, oils or foodstuffs.
Pollution of the liquid could occur due to leakage of lubricants.
If the power supply cord has been damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or his autho-
rized customer support service in order to avoid all risks.
Before starting the pump, make sure that:
• the voltage and frequency specified on the pump’s nameplate coincide with those of the available power supply;
• there are no signs of damage to the pump or its power cord;
• the electric connection is made in a dry place, protected against any risk of flooding;
• the electric system is complete with a residual current circuit-
breaker (I ∆n ≤ 30 mA) and an efficient
earthing connection;
• the length of the power cord is no more than 10 meters. Any extension cords must comply with the requi
rements of the DIN VDE standard 0620.
Note:
given the different provisions applicable to the safety of electric systems in different countries, make sure
that the pump system, as concerns its intended use, is in accordance with current legislation.
3. STARTING THE PUMP
Insert the plug on the power cord in a suitable power socket.
Automatic operation:
The floating switch starts and stops the pump automatically. The water level that prompts the starting and stop-
ping of the pump can be adjusted by changing the length of cable between the holder and the float.
N.B. The length of cable for the float must never be shorter than 10 cm.
4. RECOMMENDATIONS

• The pump must never be allowed to run dry.
• Never leave the pump in operation when the delivery pipe is clogged
• The pump must be positioned so that the holes on the suction side cannot be partially or totally clogged by dirt.
