1. The supply voltage should correspond to that given on the description label (220-240V ~ 50Hz).
   Do not use any other type of power supply.
2. The pump should be supplied by a circuit containing a residual current device (circuit breaker, RCD) with a sensitivity not exceeding 30mA .

Consult with 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 EEC 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 H07 RN8-F.

1. When disconnecting the power cable from the socket, always grip the plug itself and not the cable.
   Do not remove the plug from the socket by pulling on the cable but by pulling on the plug.
2. If the pump is used for emptying a pond, it should not be used when there are people in the pond.

Similarly, to avoid accidents during pump operation: washing, swimming or domestic animals bathing is strictly forbidden around the operating area.

1. 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

2. Do not transport, carry or hang the pump by its cable, use the carrying handle.

3. DANGER! Electric Shock!

Moisture can penetrate into the electrical part of the power cord through a cut plug, and cause a short circuit.

Never cut the plug (eg. For electrical installation through a wall).

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

WARNING!

• The warranty does not cover accidents due to improper installation. This pump must be installed in accordance with local standards and by a qualified person (we recommend you to contact an electrician).
• The fixed pipeline that will connect the pump must include a separation device having contacts with the opening distance of at least 3mm in all poles.
• The total head must not exceed 40m

4.3- Electrical connection

IMPORTANT! If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its after sales service or a person with similar qualification in order to avoid any danger.

a) Make sure that the power supply corresponds with the connection specifications of the device (see rating label).
b) Check that the power cable is not damaged. The cable must be at least one cable H07 RN8-F 3 × 1.0 ~mm^2 (or exceed 1 ~mm^2 ) (line, neutral and earth).
c) Connect plug to a wall socket 10/16A fitted with a ground connection.
d) Turn the pump for 2 to 3 seconds to perform a dry run of the pump.

Do not operate the pump without water for more than 2 to 3 seconds to avoid overheating. This will cause permanent damage.

e) Disconnect the pump from the power supply (remove the plug from the wall socket), and then proceed with delivery/discharge line connection, as described in the following paragraph.
f) Ensure that the electrical connection is protected against water splashing.
g) When operating outdoors, the electrical connections must be splash-proof; they must not lie in water.
h) Extension cords must have sufficient wire cross section; cable drums must be complete unwound.

4.3- Connecting the discharge line (not supplied)

a) Wedge the discharge hose (not supplied) on to the connector.
b) Add a fixing collar (hose clamp not supplied) to complete the seal.

Notes: - The discharge hose (not supplied) must have a minimum diameter of 25mm and must be rigid and kink resistant to prevent crushing.

• To avoid leakages in the delivery line and get the best performance, ensure to seal the fittings with Teflon.

Remarks: - All components of the discharge line must be compression-proof.

• All components of the discharge line must be professionally installed

• If the components are not compression-proof or if they are improperly installed, the pressure line could burst during operation. Risk of injury from liquid spurting out!

4.4- Start-up

1. The pump must be installed in a vertical position: ensure that it is stable during operation.
2. 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.

V. OPERATION

5.1- Intended use

1. This clear water pump is a submersible pump intended for domestic use.
   The pump is not intended for artisanal, industrial and/or commercial uses (for ex. Public parks, sports grounds ...)
2. The pump is designed for routine household uses such as gardening, irrigation systems, pumping water from tanks, well...
   It can be used to suck up clear water from flooded premises with particles in suspension that are less than [see table II] in diameter. When used to dry out premises (for ex. cellar draining) it is recommended to place the pump below floor level.
3. The pump is fully submersible: the immersion depth must not exceed [see table II].
4. The pump should not be used for:
5. for sucking up liquids or materials that are corrosive, flammable/combustible, explosive r any other dangerous liquid; fats, oils, sea water, dirty water and waste water (e.g. from toilet, industrial...)
6. for swimming pool cleaning; in fountains or aquariums...
7. for pumping or transferring water intended for human consumption or any other food liquids.
8. The pump must not be used for operations not described in this manual.

Any other use, other than that described in the instructions, is likely to damage the pump and to put the user in serious danger.

1. The temperature of clear water sucked up should not exceed 35^ .

5.2- Operation - automatic functioning mode

Connect pump to mains power.

As this pump is an automatic water pump, it starts operating as soon as it is connected to the electricity supply, even when there is no water.

5.2.1- Water parameters

Here are the operating settings for this pump:

After 10 seconds, in the condition of no water or when water level is below 40mm , the pump stops operating.

Then the pump will try to detect the presence of water and restart working, if it detects any water which level is higher than 40mm , the pump will re-start

The re-start up settings are as follow:

After 6 seconds (1 time),

After 30 seconds (1 time),

After 10 minutes (1 time),

After 1 hour (1 time),

After 5 hours (1 time),

After 24 hours (1 time),

If the pump does not detect water, the pump will stop automatically 10 seconds after the re-start up.

After 24 hours, the pump will repeat over the same re-start up and stop cycle.

5.2.2- Pressure parameters

The pump starts operating as soon as it is connected to the electricity supply, when water is still detected after 10 seconds, the pump will keep operating.

When the pump pressure reaches the Max pressure setting (the internal pump pressure is over 3.5-4.0bar), or when there is no water coming out from the outlet, the pump stops working automatically.

When the pump pressure is lower than the Min. pressure setting (the internal pump pressure is lower than 1.5 bar), the pump starts operating again.

Warning!

Never operate the pump without water (dry running).

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.

Important advice

Sand and other abrasive substances increase wear and tear and reduce the pump's performance.

Do not use the pump in such environment.

VI. MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
