1. Safety regulations

In stagnant water bodies, garden ponds,

swimming ponds and their surrounding areas

the unit may only be used with an earth-leakage

circuit breaker with an actuating rated current of

up to 30 mA (according to VDE 0100 Part 702

The equipment is not designed for use in

swimming pools and paddling pools of any kind

or other bodies of water in which people or

animals may be present during operation. It is

9. Swiveling connection with stopcock

The equipment you have purchased is designed to

pump water with a maximum temperature of 35 °C.

This equipment must never be used for other liquids,

especially engine fuels, cleaning agents and other

chemically-based products! Installed in a shaft, the

equipment provides protection from flooding.

However, it can be used wherever you want to move

water, e.g. in the house, in the garden, and for many

other applications. The equipment 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 is to be used only for its prescribed

purpose. Any other use is deemed to be a case of

Anleitung_RG_SP_300_RB_SPK1:_ 27.04.2011 15:27 Uhr Seite 1112

misuse. The user / operator and not the

manufacturer will be liable for any damage or injuries

of any kind caused as a result of this.

Please note that our equipment has not been

designed for use in commercial, trade or industrial

applications. Our warranty will be voided if the

machine is used in commercial, trade or industrial

businesses or for equivalent purposes.

With 16 mm rain barrel pipe 1,750 l/h

Max. delivery head 11 m

Max. immersion depth 7 m

Max. water temperature 35 °C Hose connection 26,4 mm (G 3/4) AG Max. size of foreign bodies: Ø 2,5 mm

Switching point height: ON max. approx. 50 cm

Switching point height: OFF min. approx. 15 cm

5. Before putting the equipment into

5.1 Assembly (Figs. 3 to 6)

1. Screw the aluminium tube (Item 6) to the pump

connection (Fig. 3).

2. Screw the aluminium tubes (Items 6, 7 and 8)

together (Figs. 4 and 5).

3. Screw the aluminium tube (Item 9) to the

connection (Fig. 6).

5.2 Fitting the pump to the barrel

Use the attachment hook to fit the pump to the rain

barrel (Fig. 6, Item B).

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-

The pump shaft should measure at least

40 x 40 x 50 cm so that the floating switch can move

5.3 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

230 V ~ 50 Hz. 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.

To rule out danger, this work must be left strictly to a

specialist electrician or Customer Service.

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 230 V

 Check that the electrical socket-outlet is in good

 Make sure that no moisture or water can ever

reach the power connection.

 Make sure that the equipment does not run dry.

 To withdraw water, open the stopcock (Fig. 6,

 To switch off the equipment, pull the power plug

out of the socket outlet.

Setting the ON/OFF switching point:

The ON/OFF switching point can be infinitely

adjusted with the height adjustment facility. For this

purpose you must first slacken the screw (Fig. 7,

Point 5). The switching differential can be infinitely

adjusted by extending or shortening the floating

 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

Anleitung_RG_SP_300_RB_SPK1:_ 27.04.2011 15:27 Uhr Seite 12GB

switches on and off.

 Make sure that the distance between the floating

switch head and the cable holder is not too small.

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.

Mount the float switch as illustrated in Figure 8 so that

the device runs continuously. In this mode the

equipment may be used only under supervision to

avoid dry running. The equipment must be switched

off (pull out the power plug) as soon as no more water

is emitted from the discharge line.

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 similarly trained personnel to avoid

8. Cleaning, maintenance and

ordering of spare parts

 Unplug the power plug prior to any maintenance

 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

functioning every three months.

 Use a water jet to remove any lint or fibrous

particles that may have become trapped in the

 Remove sludge from the shaft bottom and clean

the shaft walls every 3 months.

 Use clear water to remove deposits from the

8.1 Cleaning the filter (Figs. 9 and 11)

In order to protect the equipment and the impeller

from severe soiling, an additional filter has been

installed in the bottom intake cage. Please proceed

as follows when cleaning the filter:

1. Gently press the lateral tab (A) in the direction of

the arrow until the intake cage (4) can be

disconnected from the pump.

2. Remove the filter (B) and wash it out under

3. Now insert the filter back into the intake cage and

reconnect the intake cage to the equipment.

There are no parts inside the equipment which

require additional maintenance.
