3. Intended use

The equipment you have purchased is designed to pump water with a maximum temperature of 35^ .

This equipment must never be used for other liquids, especially not for engine fuels, cleaning agents and other chemically-based products!

Before you use the pump, clarify any possible special conditions which need to be fulfilled for the installation!

For example, additional safety measures may be needed if damage to property could result from a power failure, soiling or a defective gasket.

Examples of such safety measures:

Pumps running in parallel on a separately protected power circuit, moisture sensors for switching off the pumps, and similar safety arrangements.

Be sure to consult a professional plumber if you have any doubt.

The equipment can be used wherever you want to move water, e.g. in the house, in the garden, and for many other applications. It must not be used to operate swimming pools!

If you want to use the equipment in bodies of water with a natural, muddy bottom, place the equipment in a slightly elevated position, e.g. on bricks.

The equipment is not designed for continuous operation, e.g. as a circulating pump in a pond. In this case the equipment's anticipated life will be greatly shortened because the equipment was not designed for continuous loading.

The equipment may only be used for its intended purpose. Any other use is deemed to be a case of misuse. The user/operator and not the manufacturer will be liable for any damage or injuries of any kind which result from such misuse.

Please note that our equipment has not been designed for use in commercial, trade or industrial applications. Our warranty will be voided if the equipment is used in commercial, trade or industrial businesses or for equivalent purposes.

5. Before starting

5.1 Installation

The equipment can be installed either:

Stationary with a rigid pipe line or
Stationary with a flexible hose line

The equipment must be fastened with the supplied rope (Fig. 1/Item 5) attached to the handle (Fig. 1/Item 1).

Note:

The maximum pumping rate is possible only with the largest possible line diameter; if smaller hoses or pipes are connected, the pumping rate will be reduced. Flexible hose lines must be fastened to the hose connection with a hose clip (not included in the scope of supply).

Note!

When installing, never hang the equipment by the discharge line or by the power cable. The equipment must be hung up with the provided carry handle or it must rest on the bottom of the shaft. To ensure that the equipment works properly, the bottom of the shaft always must be free of sludge and other accumulations of dirt. If the water level is too low, the sludge in the shaft can quickly dry out and hinder the equipment from starting. It is necessary therefore to check the equipment regularly (carry out trial start-ups).

Note:

The pump shaft should be of sufficient size to enable the floating switch to move freely.

5.2 Mains connection

The equipment you have purchased comes with an earthing-pin plug. The equipment is designed for connection to a socket outlet with earthing contact for 230V 50Hz . Make sure that the socket-outlet is sufficiently fused (at least 6 A) and in good working order. Insert the power plug in the socket-outlet and the equipment is ready for operation.

Important!

To rule out danger, this work must be left strictly to a specialist electrician or Customer Service.

6. Operation

You can put the equipment into operation after you have thoroughly read the installation and operating instructions. Pay attention to the following points:

Make sure that the equipment is set up securely.
- Check that the discharge line is fitted correctly.
Make sure that the electrical connection is 230V 50Hz
- Check that the electrical socket-outlet is in good working order.
Make sure that no moisture or water can ever reach the power connection.
Make sure that the equipment does not run dry.

Setting the On/Off switching point:

The ON and OFF switching point of the floating switch can be adjusted by moving the cable in the cable holder (Fig. 2).

Check the following before putting the

equipment into operation:

• The floating switch must be fitted so that the switching point height: ON and the switch point height: OFF can be reached easily and with little force. Check this by placing the equipment in a container filled with water and carefully raising and lowering the floating switch with your hand. You can then see whether the equipment switches on and off.
• Make sure that the distance between the floating switch head and the cable holder is not too smaller than 10cm (Fig. 2). If the distance is too small, there is no guarantee that the equipment will work correctly.
• When adjusting the floating switch, make sure that the floating switch does not touch the bottom before the equipment is switched off. Important! Risk of dry running.

7. Replacing the power cable

If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-sales service or by similarly trained personnel to avoid danger.

8. Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts

Important!

• Unplug the power plug prior to any maintenance work.
• For mobile applications, the equipment should be cleaned with clear water after every usage.
• For stationary installation, it is recommended that you check the floating switch for proper operation every three months.
• Use a water jet to remove any lint or fibrous particles that may have become trapped in the housing.
• Remove sludge from the shaft bottom and clean the shaft walls every 3 months.
• Use clear water to remove deposits from the floating switch.

8.1 Cleaning the paddle wheel

If a lot of deposits collect in the housing, the bottom part of the equipment must be dismantled as follows:

1. Disconnect the intake cage from the housing.
2. Clean the paddle wheel with clear water. Important! Do not put down or rest the equipment on the paddle wheel!
3. Assemble in reverse order.
