OPERATION
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, 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 connection.
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 50x50cm (the float switch must be able to move freely so
that it functions properly.
Install the appliance so that the suction openings cannot be blocked by foreign bodies (place the
appliance on a firm, even base if necessary).
Ensure that the appliance is stable.
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
submerged, it can be righted again.
-
Leave the pump on the bottom of the liquid container. Use a strong rope attached to the
carrying handle of the pump for lowering.
-
Tighten the end of the rope after lowering.
This pump can also be operated while suspended on a rope.
