(See overleaf for the address) Safety devices 몇 CAUTION Missing or modified safety devices Safety devices are provided for your own protection. Never modify or bypass safety devices. Dry run fuse The device detects an absent or inadequate water sup- ply. The pump switches off if water is not sucked and de- livered within a certain time after switching on. This oc- curs after 4 minutes in Manual mode and after 3 minutes in Automatic mode. The "Suction side error" LED on the display lights up. Description of the unit The maximum amount of equipment is described in these operating instructions. Depending on the model used, there are differences in the scope of delivery (see packaging).

Using components from other manufacturers can lead to mal- functions when sucking the feed fluid, especially when using bayonet connection systems. Mobile use Note Even minor leaks lead to malfunctions. Connect the suction hose Note We recommend using a suction hose with a backflow stop. The backflow stop reduces the re-sucking time be- cause it prevents the suction hose from draining after water is dispensed. Do not install the backflow stop di- rectly at the pump. Note We recommend using an additional pre-filter if sandy water is to be delivered. Install the pre-filter between the suction hose and pump. For information on the backflow stop and pre-filter, see chapter Accessories and spare parts. p. 13

1. Screw the connection adapter into the suction con-

nection of the pump (inlet) and tighten hand-tight. Illustration B

2. Connect a vacuum-tight suction hose.

Connecting the pressure line

1. Screw the 2-way connection adapter into the pres-

sure connection of the pump (outlet) and tighten hand-tight. Illustration C The 2-way connection adapter allows simultaneous operation of 2 devices (e.g. washing machine and sprinkler). It can be installed with both outlets at the side or one outlet at the side and one outlet above. Illustration D

2. Connect the pressure line.

3. Close the unused outlet with the cap supplied if only

one outlet is used. Filling the pump

1. Open and remove the filling nozzle cap, either man-

ually or using a screwdriver shaft (max. 8 mm diam- eter).

2. Fill the pump via the filling nozzle, all the way to the

edge. Illustration F

3. Screw the cap tightly onto the filling nozzle, either

manually or using a screwdriver shaft.

4. If present, open the stop valves in the pressure line

(see chapter Pressure balance and pressure relief).10 English Permanent installation

1. Connect the suction hose and pressure line (see

chapter Mobile use). Use screw connections and not quick couplings in a permanent installation.

2. Fill the pump (see chapter Filling the pump).

Fastening the pump In a permanent installation, the pump can be screwed to a suitable surface.

1. Pull out and rotate the rubber feet on both sides of

the casing. Illustration G

2. Insert the rubber feet into the casing.

3. Screw the pump tightly to a level surface using suit-

able screws. Pressure balance and pressure relief For a permanent installation we recommend installing flexible components, such as e.g. a flexible pressure equalization hose, on the pressure side (see chapter Accessories and spare parts). This has the following ad- vantages: Greater flexibility in erection and commissioning Sound reduction since no vibration is transmitted in to the pipes of the house water system The pump switches less often in the case of minor leaks We recommend installing a stop valve (not included in the scope of delivery) between the pump and pressure line to simplify draining and pressure relief in the sys- tem. Closing the stop cock prevents water from flowing out of the pressure line when the pump is drained. If there are increased drops in pressure due to leaks in the house system the pump regularly switches on with- out dispensing water. In this case we recommend in- stalling a pressure equalization container (see chapter Accessories and spare parts). Operation Starting operation

1. Plug the mains plug into the socket.

2. Switch the device on with the ON/OFF switch.

Illustration E Use the "I/On" switch setting for Manual opera- tion. Use the "Auto" switch setting for Automatic mode (see also chapter Functional principle of the pump in Automatic mode). Note The ON/OFF switch can be conveniently operated by foot.

3. Lift the pressure hose approx. 1 m to reduce the

4. Wait until the pump simultaneously sucks and deliv-

ers. If the water supply is too low the dry run fuse switches the device off (see chapter Dry run fuse). Functional principle of the pump in Automatic mode In Automatic mode, the house and garden pumps auto- matically maintain the pressure: The pump starts when water is dispensed and the pressure falls below approx. 0.13 MPa (1.3 bar). The pump continues running when the flow rate is greater than approx. 60 l/h. Pressure builds up in the system again when water dispensing stops. The pump continues running for a short after-running time and then enters standby mode. Optimising the flow rate The flow rate is further increased: The lower the delivery height is The greater the diameter of the hose used is The shorter the hose used is The smaller the pressure loss caused by the con- nected up accessories Ending operation

1. Switch off the device at the ON/OFF switch.

2. Pull the mains plug out of the socket.

Observe the additional notes if the device is to be switched on after a longer standstill period (see chapter Care and service).
