CAUTION!
When placing the pump in the liquid,
make sure to let it down slowly. You may
need to tilt the pump slightly so that air
trapped in the body is released. Set the
pump on the bottom so that it cannot
fall over. If the bottom should be sandy
or muddy or rocky and uneven, place
the pump on a suitable hard, flat surface
or suspend it from a rope attached to a
secure object. Make sure to leave ade-
quate room between the pump and the
bottom so that it cannot suck up solid
matter.
CAUTION!
Make sure that the pump does not suck
in solid matter. Sand or other abrasive
particles suspended in the liquid will lead
to increased wear and tear and may im-
pact the performance of your pump. Be-
fore lowering the pump into a well or
a cistern, attach a rope to the handle.
When placing the pump inside a cistern,
make sure that the shaft is large enough
for the pump to fit. For min. shaft dimen-
sions, see Figure B.
CAUTION!
Place a cover over the cistern so that no
one will fall in.
CAUTION!
When switching the pump on again af-
ter removing it from a cistern, make sure
that the pressure hose is completely em-
pty otherwise the pump will not automa-
tically vent and it could be damaged.
CAUTION!
Make sure that the pump does not run
with a blocked or closed pressure hose.
ADVICE
The pump has a non-return valve (2) on
the pump output that prevents the pres-
sure hose from emptying the pump every
time it is at a standstill.
Adjusting the cut-in and cut-off levels
The float switch cable is attached to the pump
housing. You can adjust the cut-in = START and
cut-off = STOP levels for operation by simply
changing the height of the switch as desired. Re-
commended length of the float switch cable is ap-
prox. 120 mm.
CAUTION!
While pumping to the minimum submer-
sed depth, make sure to keep the pump
under observation and turn it off by pul-
ling the plug when the minimum submer-
sed depth has been reached to prevent
the pump from sucking in air, as this may
damage your pump.
ADVICE
If the level of the remaining water drops
below the minimum submersed depth,
the pump will suck in air. Before using
the pump again to drain liquid, the air
trapped in the pump will have to be ven-
ted (see Setting up and Operating the
Pump).
Switching off the Pump
1 To switch off the pump, just pull the plug of
the electric cable from the socket.
MAINTENANCE AND CARE
Disconnect the machine from the mains
power supply before commencing assembly
and maintenance work.
Cleaning the pump
ADVICE
After conveying chlorine-containing
swimming pool water or fluids that leave
a residue, the pump must be flushed out
with clear water.
1. Clean the suction slots on the suction foot if
necessary with clear water.
STORAGE
ADVICE
In the event of a risk of frost, the system
must be drained completely.
DISPOSAL
Do not dispose of worn-out machines
or spent batteries (including recharge-
able batteries) in domestic waste!
