For Your Safety

The submersible pump may only be connected to an electrical device which is compliant with DIN/VDE 0100, Parts 737, 738 and 702 (swimming pools). Make sure that fuse protection in the form of a 10 A automatic cut-out and a fault current guard circuit with a nominal fault current of 10/30 mA is installed.

The supply voltage and current specified on the type plate must be identical with the voltage and current of your electrical system.

If you need to connect your pump to an extension cord, make sure that the cable is 3 x 1.5 mm ^2 that it corresponds to type H07RN-F and is compliant with DIN 57282/57245. The connector must be splash-proof. Cable drums must be completely unwound.

The submersible pump may not be operated by anyone

- who has not read or does not fully understand the operating manual or - is under the age of 16.

The submersible pump may not be used for any other than its designated use. Before putting the pump into operation, make sure that

- the submersible pump, the electric cable and the plug are not worn or damaged and - Nobody is near, touching or in the liquid to be pumped.

Do not operate the submersible pump if it is damaged. Necessary repairs must be carried out in a qualified AL-KO service centre.

Never use the electric cable to lift, carry or attach the submersible pump to another object. Do not pull on the cable when unplugging the pump.

Make sure that the pump is unplugged before beginning any maintenance, repair or cleaning work. In the event of a malfunction, immediately unplug the pump. Make sure that the plug does not get wet.

Do not attempt to make any changes or modifications to the submersible pump by yourself. You may endanger your life or invalidate the warranty.

Use

Designated use

The submersible pump is designed for home use in your house or garden. Please observe the technical data given in the instructions before putting the pump into operation.

Your submersible pump has been designed for use in the following applications:

• emptying your cellar or house after a flood,
• emptying containers or pumping liquid from one container into another,
• pumping water from wells,
• aerating garden ponds or artificial brooks and streams,
• emptying drains or cisterns (submersible pumps, types Drain only).

The submersible pump is designed to pump only the following liquids:

- clear water,

• rain water,
  – chlorine water (pool water),
  – water for domestic use,
• waste water with no more than 5% suspended matter and a grain size of max. 30 mm diameter (submersible pumps, types Drain only)

Prohibited use

Your submersible pump is not intended for permanent operation. The pump may not be used to pump the following liquids:

• drinking water,
• salt water,
  – beverages or liquid foods,
  – corrosives or chemicals
• acids or combustible, explosive or gas-forming liquids,
  – liquids with a temperature above 35 °C
• sandy water or water containing abrasives,
• waste water containing textile or paper particles (applicable for submersible pumps, types Sub only).

Description of the Pump

1 Cable terminal
2 Handle
3 Pump housing
4 Multi-size nipple
5 Elbow connector
6 Suction slots
7 Float switch
8 Electric cable

Function of the pump

The submersible pump sucks the liquid to be pump-ed into the pump through the suction slots (6) and pumps it out at the outlet.

Thermal protection

Your submersible pump is equipped with a thermal protection switch which automatically switches off the pump in case of overheating. The pump will remain off until it has cooled down.

After about 15 - 20 minutes, the pump will automatically switch on.

Setting up and Operating the Pump

1. Screw the elbow connector (5) into the pump outlet.
2. Screw the multi-size nipple (4) into the elbow connector (5).
3. Attach a hose to the multi-size nipple.

You can cut off the tip of the multi-size nipple to fit the diameter of the hose you are using. Using a hose with the largest possible diameter will greatly improve the performance of the pump.

1. Uncoil the electric cable completely.

Make sure that any electrical connections are not exposed to water and do not lie within the outflow of the pump.

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 adequate room between the pump and the bottom so that it cannot suck up solid matter.

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 impact the performance of your pump. Before 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 dimensions, see Figure B.

Place a cover over the cistern so that no one will fall in.

1. Plug the pump into the socket. As soon as the pump has reached the cut-in (= START) level, the float switch will automatically switch the pump on. When the liquid has fallen below the cut-off (= STOP) level, the pump will automatically switch off, see technical data.

Take suitable measures, e.g. installation of an alarm or a back-up pump, to ensure that flooding will not occur if the pump should malfunction.

Make sure that the pump does not run on a blocked or closed pressure hose.

Pumping out any remaining liquid

Before you can pump out any remaining liquid below the cut-off (= STOP) level (see technical data), you will have to operate the float switch manually:

1. Unplug the electric cable.
2. Fix the float switch so that it remains in an upright position.
3. Plug in the electric cable. The pump will automatically switch on and pump out any remaining liquid.

While pumping out remaining liquid, make sure to keep the pump under observation and turn it off by pulling the plug when the liquid has been completely pumped out, so that the pump does not suck air, as this may damage your pump.

If the level of the remaining water drops below 10/40 mm, the pump will suck in air. Before using the pump again to drain liquid, the air trapped in the pump will have to be let out (see Setting up and Operating the Pump).

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. Recommended length of the float switch cable is approx. 120 mm.

Switching off the Pump

1. To switch off the pump, just pull the plug of the electric cable from the socket.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Before beginning any maintenance or cleaning work, make sure that the pump has been unplugged and take precautions to ensure that it cannot be switched on during work!

Cleaning the pump

• If you have used your pump to pump chlorine water (pool water) or liquids which leave a residue, flush your pump out with clear water after use.
  – Clean the suction slots located in the suction body with clear water as required.

Protect from frost

Your pump is susceptible to low temperatures. Make sure to empty the pump of residual liquid and store it so that it is protected from frost.

Disposal

Do not dispose of worn-out units through the household garbage!

The appliance, its packaging and accessories are all produced from recyclable materials and must be disposed of accordingly.

Malfunctions

Before you attempt to remedy any malfunction of your pump, pull the plug to prevent injury or death due to electrocution!

What is wrong? What is the possible reason?		How to remedy the malfunction:
Motor does not run. Impeller is blocked.		Remove blockage in inlet area. Clean the impeller with a jet of water.
Thermal switch has switched off.		Wait until the thermal switch has automatically turned the pump on again. Check water temperature. Have the pump checked.
		No	Hapower. qualified electrician check the power supply.
		Float switch does not work even though liquid is above cut-in level.	Send pump to your nearest AL-KO service centre.
Submersible pump runs but is not pumping out liquid.	Air is trapped in the pump housing.	Tilt the pump to let the trapped air out.
Suction slots are blocked.		Remove blockage and clean suction slots.
Pressure line is blocked.		Clear blockage in pressure line.
Pressure hose is bent. Straighten out pressure hose.
Submersible pump is only pumping out liquid very slowly or weakly.	Hose diameter is too small.	Attach a hose with a larger diameter.
Suction slots are blocked.		Remove blockage and clean suction slots.
Pumping height is too great. Lower pumping height.

If you are unable to remedy a malfunction, please call the AL-KO service centre nearest you.
