8. Before connection, check that your power source voltage matches the data indicted on the product (see characteristics).

3.3- Safety prescriptions

1. The supply voltage should correspond to that given on the description label (230 V-50Hz).
   Do not use any other type of power supply.
2. The pump should be supplied by a circuit containing a residual current circuit breaker (RCCD) with a sensitivity not exceeding 30mA .

Consult a qualified electrician.

1. The supply cable should be checked periodically and before each use to see if there are any signs of ageing or damage.
   If the pump is not in good condition, do not use it. Have it repaired by an authorized centre.
2. If an extension is used, ensure that it is officially approved. Keep it well away from sharp edges, heat sources and combustibles.
3. The plug-in connector for the extension should be of the 2 pole + earth type of 10-16A/250V, in accordance with CEE standards. The wire section in the cable should be equal to or greater than 1mm^2 . The cable should not be lighter than cables of H05 RN-F type.
4. When disconnecting the power cable from the socket, always grip the plug itself and not the cable.
5. If the pump is used for emptying a pond/container, it should not be used when there are people in the pond/container.
6. When the pump is immersed, handling should not be carried out using the power cable, but using a device (for ex. a rope) connected to the carrying handle.
7. Do not use power cable or float switch cable for carrying or hanging up the pump.

IV. GETTING STARTED

Before any intervention on product, ensure that product is disconnected from its power source.

4.1- Unpacking

Remove product from its packaging.

Check that product and accessories are not damage

4.2- Connecting the evacuation hose

"Screw a connector 1" (not supplied) onto the pump outlet/discharge port (see 3 in Fig.1).

4.3- Adjusting the floating switch

1. The float switch (6) enables the automatic start of the pump.

For example:

When the water rises to reach approximately 50cm, the pump starts up.

When water level has lowered to approximately 5cm, the pump will stop automatically.

1. By shortening the length of the cable between the pump and the float, it is possible to modify the water heights that trigger starting and stopping of the pump.
2. To adjust the cut-in/cut-out height, fix the float switch cable to the float switch lock (5) provided for this purpose, located at the top of the pump.
3. Adjust the cable to the required length

4.4- Start-up

Note: Before use, clear the outlet line

Observe and respect minimum water level and max delivery height

1. The pump must be in a vertical position: ensure that it is stable during operation.
2. Ensure that the float switch can move freely (allow at least 50cm around the pump).
3. The suction holes must never be obstructed. It is therefore preferable that the pump should never be placed directly on the ground or on the bottom of the well, pond or vessel.

For example, use a brick to support the pump.

Warning: to dry out premises (cellar draining for example) it will be necessary to place the pump below floor level.

V. OPERATION

5.1- Intended use

1. Cellar drainers are submersible pumps intended for domestic use.
   They should be used only for drying out flooded premises or for pumping water out of wells or cellars.
2. This pump is designed to suck up clear and dirty water with particles in suspension that are less than 0.5mm in diameter.
3. The pump is fully submersible: the immersion depth must not exceed 7m (refer to the technical characteristics table).
4. The pump should not be used for sucking up liquids or materials that are corrosive, combustible or explosive; fats, oils, waste water from toilet...
5. The temperature of liquids sucked up should not exceed 35^ .
6. Any other use, other than that described in the instructions, is likely to damage the pump and to put the user in serious danger.

5.2-Operation

5.2.1- In automatic functioning mode,

Connect pump to mains power.

The pump will start and stop as soon as the float switch reaches the pre-set heights (see 4.3)

5.2.2-In manual functioning mode,

Connect pump to mains power

Raise the float switch to start the pump, lower it again to stop the pump.

In this case, the minimum pumping water height may be reduced.

5.2.3- Warning!

Never operate the pump empty (without water).

The pump is not designed for continuous operation! (e.g. continuous water circulating operation).

The submersible pump must be immersed before switching on.

Place pump into water, then let it purge the air (air bubbles) then only you can connect it.

In automatic functioning, the filling-up time before float switch operates is enough to purge the air.

5.3- Advise for users

1. if discharge stops although the pump continues to function, switch it off immediately.

Unplug the pump from the mains and check to see what is causing the problem.

Never attempt to remove the turbine when the pump is still connected to the power supply.

1. The pump is fitted with a motor protected by a thermal safety with auto reset. In the event of overheating, the motor stops automatically. As soon as the temperature returns to normal, the motor restarts.

Never place hands anywhere near the turbine during this phase. If remedial action is necessary, always unplug the pump from the power supply first.

1. The pump is also fitted with an automatic bleed device to evacuate any air that might have got into the suction circuit.

When the water level drops below the vent located in the middle of the pump body, water is evacuated by this hole so as to automatically bleed the circuit: this is not a fault, but corresponds to a normal function of the pump.

1. After having pumped dirty water, water containing sand or other abrasive material, the pump should be rinsed with clear water.

VI. MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

Before any intervention on product, ensure that product is disconnected from its power source.

6.1- Maintenance

• In winter the pump must be thoroughly drained or kept in "frost free" conditions.
• Regularly rinse out the pump with clean water, including the suction circuit.
• Avoid pumping liquid containing abrasive materials such as sand.
• Before each re-use, ensure that all parts of the pump are in good working order.
• Clean plastic parts with a soft clean cloth.
