V. OPERATION
5.1- Intended use
1. This submersible pump can be used for domestic, industrial or farming applications, for pumping
clear water with particles in suspension that are less than 0.2mm in diameter.
2. The pump is fully submersible: the immersion depth must not exceed 15m (refer to characteristics
table).
3. The pump should not be used for sucking up liquids or materials that are corrosive,
combustible/flammable, explosive; fats, oils, waste water from toilet, food liquids …
4. The temperature of liquids sucked up should not exceed 35°C.
5. Any other use, other than that described in the instructions, is likely to damage the pump and to
put the user in serious danger.
5.2- Operation
5.2.1- In automatic functioning mode (active floating switch)
Connect pump control box to mains power.
Press the On/Off switch to “ON” position.
The pump will start and stop as soon as the float switch reaches the pre-set heights / angles.
5.2.2- In manual functioning mode (blocked floating switch)
Connect pump control box to mains power
a) For permanent installation
Raise and lock the float switch.
To operate the pump, press the On/Off switch.
b) For temporary installation
Raise the float switch to start the pump and lower it to stop the pump.
Note: in this two cases, the minimum pumping water height may be reduced.
5.2.3- Warning!
Never operate the pump without water (dry running).
The pump is not designed for continuous operation! (e.g. continuous water circulating operation).
The submersible pump must be immersed before switching on.
Place pump into water, then let it purge the air (air bubbles) then only you can connect it.
In automatic functioning, the filling-up time before float switch operates is enough to purge the air.
Check the water level frequently while in operation, to see whether it is lowering and the pump shall
not be out of water while running.
5.3- Advise for users
1. If discharge stops although the pump continues to function, switch it off immediately.
Unplug the pump from the mains and check to see what is causing the problem.
Never attempt to remove the turbine when the pump is still connected to the power supply.
2. The pump control box is protected by a thermal safety. In the event of overheating, the motor stops
automatically. As soon as the temperature returns to normal, press the reset button (5) to restart pump.
