Hose
Kinks in the hose will reduce the pump capacity.
Cable and power supply
Having the right cable and handling it properly will
save you from many malfunctions.
WARNING!
If the cable sheath is damaged and the cable is
lowered into the water, water may enter into the
junction chamber of the pump. If the cable is
damaged it has to be replaced.
Treat the electrical equipment with care. This will
prevent both malfunctions and accidents.
• Make sure that junctions don’t get into the water.
• Don’t lay the starting equipment directly on the ground.
WARNING!
If persons are likely to come into physical
contact with the pump or pumped media (liq-
uid), for example on construction sites or farms
etc, the earthed (grounded) socket must have
an additional earth- (ground-) fault protection
device (GFI) connected. When pumping near a
lake (beaches, ponds and fountains etc) a safety
distance of at least 20 meters (65ft) between the
person and the pump is applicable.
• If you use an extension cable, see that it is
correctly dimensioned. The longer the cable,
the greater the conductor cross-section you will
need in order to avoid voltage drop.
• Strong sunlight can also cause voltage drops.
• If you’re drawing your power from your
own generator it’s important that it is correctly
dimensioned. Do not use the Generator setting
Auto idle function.
If your cable is too long,
don’t coil it up, since this
could cause voltage drop.
