Proper use

This appliance has been designed for use in private households and is not intended for commercial use.

The manufacturer is not responsible for any damages that may occur on account of improper use or wrong operations.

The device is mainly intended for draining building parts in case of flooding, but also for pumping over or out containers, for water removal from wells and shafts as well as for draining water from boats and yachts, provided that it is fresh water.

NOTICE

The device is not suitable for continuous pump operation (e.g. continuous circulation in a pond) or as a stationary installations (e.g. lifting device, fountain pump).

Approved feed fluids

■ Fresh water up to a certain degree of soiling
■ Water from swimming pool (provided the dosing of additives is proper)
■ Washing lye

SP 5 Dirt

■ Water with a degree of contamination up to a grain size of 20 mm

SP 7 Dirt

■ Water with a degree of contamination up to a grain size of 30 mm

⚠️ DANGER

Risk of injury, risk of damage! Caustic, slightly inflammable and other explosive substances (such as petrol, petroleum, diluted nitrogen), greases, oils, salt water and waste water from toilets as well as sludgy water that has a slower flow capacity than water, must not be transported with this pump. The temperature of the delivered fluid must be between 5 °C and 35 °C.

Start up

NOTICE

The shorter the hose length and the larger the hose diameter, the higher the pump capacity.

To prevent clogging of the pump, use a prefilter with hose diameters of less than 1½".

■ SP 5 Dirt, special accessories

■ SP 7 Dirt, integrated in the base

The pump connection is equipped with a plug system (Quick-Connect).

The unmounted connection nozzle (SP 5 Dirt) or the connection nozzle with pump connecting piece (SP 7 Dirt) is enclosed in the device.

Illustration A

→ To remove the connection nozzle, press the Quick-Connect (grey button).

Illustration B

(SP 5 Dirt)

→ Slide the hose clamp onto the hose.

If a 3/4 " or 1" hose is used:

→ Screw pump connecting piece (see special accessory) onto the connection nozzle.

→ Slide the hose onto the pump connecting piece and secure it by means of a hose clamp.

→ Slide the connection nozzle into the Quick-Connect.

NOTICE

To increase the flow volume, the pump connecting piece can be shortened according to the hose used.

If a 1 ^1/4 " hose is used:

→ Slide the hose onto the connection nozzle and secure by means of a hose clamp.

→ Slide the connection nozzle into the Quick-Connect. Illustration ©

(SP 7 Dirt)

→ Screw the pump connecting piece onto the connection nozzle.

→ Slide the hose clamp onto the hose.

→ Slide the hose onto the pump connecting piece and secure it by means of a hose clamp.

→ Slide the connection nozzle into the Quick-Connect.

NOTICE

Hoses with a diameter of 1", 1¼" and 1½" can be connected to the pump connecting piece.

To increase the flow volume, the pump connecting piece can be shortened according to the hose used. Illustration E

→ Snap the float switch into the height adjustment.

→ Safely place the pump on a stable surface in the feed fluid or immerse it using a rope tied to the carrying handle.

NOTICE

The suction area must not be blocked by soiling. In case of muddy ground, place the pump on a brick or the like.

Ensure that the pump is level.

Do not carry the pump on the cable or the hose.

Operation

△ DANGER

Risk of mortal danger on account of electric shock! Do not touch feed fluids, the rope attached to the carrying handle as well as objects that are in contact with the feed fluid (e.g. pipelines extending into the water, railings, etc.).

Automatic venting device

Illustration D

With a low fluid level, possibly drawn air or air that is present in the pump escapes via the automatic venting device. In addition, fluid may leak at this spot.

If the pump has suction problems with a low fluid level, unplug and plug in the mains plug repeatedly in order to support the suction process.

Automatic operation

Illustration G

→ Adjust the float switch via the height adjustment and the cable length between float switch and height adjustment.

NOTICE

In the automatic mode, the float switch controls the pumping operations automatically.

The pump switches on as soon as the float switch has reached the switch-on height due to the rising fluid level.

The pump switches off as soon as the float switch has reached the switch-off height due to the falling fluid level. Ensure that the float switch is not obstructed in any way. The cable between the float switch and the lock must be at least 2.5 cm long.

Switch-on height / switch-off height (float switch in the lowest position):

Min / Max SP 5 Dirt SP 7 Dirt

Switch-on height cm*

18 / 21 cm 20 / 24 cm

Switch-off height cm*

4 / 12 cm 6 / 15 cm

Switch-on height / switch-off height (float switch in the upmost position):

Min / Max SP 5 Dirt SP 7 Dirt

Switch-on height cm*

28 / 31 cm 33 / 36 cm

Switch-off height	14 / 22 cm	19 / 27 cm
cm*

*The switching height can vary depending on the position of the float switch.

Likewise, the cable length between the float switch and the lock can influence the switching heights. We recommend retaining the preset cable length.

→ Insert the mains plug into the socket.

Manual operation

Illustration F

→ Secure the nose on the float switch into the opening of the lock pointing up.

NOTICE

In manual operation the pump remains switched on continuously.

In order that the pump draws independently in manual operation, the fluid level must be at least 60 mm (SP 5 Dirt) or 50 mm (SP 7 Dirt).

The pump can pump up to a residual fluid height of 25 mm (SP 5 Dirt) or 35 mm (SP 7 Dirt).

The stated residual fluid height is only achieved in manual operation.

→ Insert the mains plug into the socket.

ATTENTION

Risk of damage! Dry running leads to increased wear; never leave the pump unattended during manual operation. Switch off immediately in case of dry running.

Finish operation

NOTICE

Soiling can deposit and lead to malfunctions.

→ Pump clear water or thoroughly rinse the pump after every use.

This especially applies after pumping chlorinated water or other liquids that leave residue.

→ Disconnect the main plug from the socket.

Maintenance

The pump is maintenance-free.

Transport

CAUTION

In order to prevent accidents or injuries, keep in mind the weight of the appliance during transport (see Specifications).

→ Lift and carry the pump on the carrying handle.
→ If you want to transport the appliance on a vehicle secure it from slipping.

Storage

CAUTION

In order to prevent accidents or injuries, keep in mind the weight of the appliance when selecting a storage location for it (see Specifications).

Storing the pump

→ Completely drain the pump and allow it to dry.
→ Store the pump in a frost-free place.

Troubleshooting

△ DANGER

Risk of mortal danger on account of electric shock!

To avoid risks, all repairs and replacement of spare parts may only be carried out by the authorised customer service personnel.

Fault Cause Remedy

Pump runs but does not transport Air in the pump Unplug and plug in the mains plug of the pump repeatedly until the fluid is drawn
Suction area blocked Pull out the mains plug and clean the suction area
Water level below the minimum fluid level (only in manual operation)	Immerse, whenever possible, the pump deeper into the feed fluid or proceed as described in Chapter Operation.

Fault Cause Remedy
Pump does not run or suddenly comes to a standstill during operations	Power supply interrupted Check fuses and electrical connections
	Thermal protection switch has switched off the pump due to over-heating	Pull out the mains plug, let the pump cool down, clean the suction area, prevent dry running
	Dirt particles have got jammed into the suction area	Pull out the mains plug and clean the suction area
Pumping capacity is reducing Suction area blocked Pull out the mains plug and clean the suction area
Pumping capacity too low The pumping capacity depends on the flow height, hose diameter and hose length.		Observe the maximum delivery height, see technical data. If necessary, use a larger hose diameter or a shorter hose length.
Quick-Connect cannot be opened or closed.	Soiling in the plug system. Remove and clean clip.
