Durability
The maximum temperature of the liquid to be pumped in continuous operation should not exceed
+35°C. This pump is not to be used to pump combustible, gaseous or explosive fluids.
The pumping of aggressive fluids (acids, alkalis, silo seepage etc) and abrasive substances (sand)
should also be avoided
Areas of use:
For irrigating and watering parks, vegetable patches and gardens. For operating lawn sprinklers.
With a pre-filter for drawing water from ponds, streams, rain-butts, rain-water cisterns and wells.
Liquid which can be pumped:
For the pumping of clear water (fresh water), rain water or mild suds/dirty water.
Operating instructions
Basically, we recommend the use of a pre-filter and an intake set with an intake hose, an intake
strainer and check valve in order to prevent long re-pumping times and any unnecessary damage
to the pump caused by stones and hard foreign bodies.
Electrical connections
Connect the power cable to a 230 V 50 Hz earthed, 10 amp fuse minimum.
The appliance is switched on and off using the integrated ON/OFF switch. The pilot lamp inside
the switch lights up when the motor is switched on.
The motor is protected against overloading or blocking by an integrated thermostat. In the event
of overheating, the thermostat switches off the pump automatically. The pump will start up again
automatically after it has cooled down.
Intake line
Screw an intake hose (min. 3/4" plastic hose with spiral reinforcement) either directly or with a
threaded adapter to the pump's intake connection (1” IG).
The intake hose used should have an intake valve. If the intake valve cannot be used, a check
valve should be installed in the intake line.
The intake hose should rise from the water pick-up point to the pump. Always avoid laying the
intake line higher than the pump. Air bubbles in the intake line delay and hinder suction.
The intake and pressure lines must be attached in such a way that they do not place the pump
under any mechanical strain.
The intake valve should be so far immersed in the water that the pump cannot run dry even if the
water level falls.
If the intake line is not air-tight, the intake of air will hinder the intake of water.
Avoid drawing in foreign bodies (sand etc.). If necessary, install a pre-filter for this purpose
Pressure line connection
The pressure line (should be at least 3/4”) must be connected to the pump's pressure line
connection (1" IG) either directly or via a threaded adapter.
A 1/2” pressure hose can also be used with the appropriate screw connections, of course, but this
will reduce the delivery rate.
All shut-off devices (spray nozzles, valves etc.) in the pressure line must be fully opened when
priming so that any air in the intake line can escape
Starting up
Set up the pump on flat and firm ground.Attach the intake line ready for use.
Fill the pump with water at the pressure connection. Plug into the mains.
All shut-off devices in the pressure line (spray nozzles, valves etc.) must be fully opened when
