Original operating instructions

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! Before you use the pump, clarify any possible special conditions which need to be fulfi lled for the installation! For example, additional safety measures may be needed if damage to property could result from a power failure, soiling or a de- fective gasket. Examples of such safety measures: Pumps run- ning in parallel on a separately protected power circuit, moisture sensors for switching off the pumps, and similar safety arrangements. Be sure to consult a professional plumber if you have any doubt. The equipment can be used wherever you want to move water, e.g. in the house, in the garden, and for many other applications. It must not be used to operate swimming pools! If you want to use the equipment in bodies of wa- ter with a natural, muddy bottom, place the equip- ment 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 prescri- bed purpose. Any other use is deemed to be a case of misuse. The user / operator and not the manufacturer will be liable for any damage or inju- ries of any kind caused as a result of this. Please note that our equipment has not been de- signed 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.

5. Before starting the equipment

The equipment can be installed either:

Stationary with rigid tubing

Stationary with a flexible hose line Note: The maximum pumping rate is possible only with the largest possible line diameter; if smaller hoses or tubes are connected, the pumping rate will be reduced. If the universal hose connection (Fig. 1/ Item 2) is used, it should be shortened (as shown in Fig. 3) to the connection actually used in order not to reduce the pumping rate unnecessarily. Flexible hoses must be fastened to the universal hose connection with a hose clip (not included in the scope of supply). Note! When installing, never hang the equipment by the discharge line or by the power cable. The equip- ment must be hung up with the provided carry Anl_GH_DP_3730_SPK1.indb 17Anl_GH_DP_3730_SPK1.indb 17 05.07.13 07:5905.07.13 07:59GB

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 regu- larly (carry out trial start-ups). Note: The pump shaft should measure at least 50 x 50 x 50 cm so that the fl oating switch can move freely.

5.2 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 suffi ciently 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. Important! 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 ope- rating instructions. Pay attention to the following points:

Make sure that the equipment is set up secu- rely.

Check that the discharge line is fitted correct- ly.

Make sure that the electrical connection is 230 V ~ 50 Hz.

Check that the electrical socket-outlet is in good working order.

Make sure that no moisture or water can ever reach the power connection.

Make sure that the equipment does not run dry. Setting the ON/OFF switching point: The ON/OFF switching point of the fl oating switch can be adjusted by shifting the fl oating switch in the fl oating switch notched holder (Fig. 2/Item 5). Check the following points before putting the equipment into operation:

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 whe- ther the equipment switches on and off.

Make sure that the distance between the floa- ting 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. Manual operation: Mount the fl oating switch as illustrated in Figure 1. The equipment will then run continuously. To pre- vent dry running, this operating mode is allowed only under supervision. 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 danger. Anl_GH_DP_3730_SPK1.indb 18Anl_GH_DP_3730_SPK1.indb 18 05.07.13 07:5905.07.13 07:59GB

8. Cleaning, maintenance and

ordering of spare parts Unplug the power plug prior to any maintenance work.

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 housing.

Remove sludge from the shaft bottom and clean the shaft walls every 3 months.

Use clear water to remove deposits from the floating switch.

There are no parts inside the equipment which require additional maintenance.
