USER MANUAL 4170461 EINHELL

Important! When using equipment, a few safety precautions must be observed to avoid injuries and damage. Please read the complete operating manual with due care. Keep this manual in a safe place, so that the information is available at all times. If you give the equipment to any other person, give them these operating instructions as well. We accept no liability for damage or accidents which arise due to non-observance of these instructions and the safety information.

1. Safety regulations

Caution! 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 and 738). 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 prohibited to operate the equipment if a person or animal is in the danger area. Ask your electrician! This equipment is not designed to be used by people (including children) with limited physical, sensory or mental capacities or those with no experience and/or knowledge unless they are supervised by a person who is responsible for their safety or they have received instructions from such a person in how to use the equipment safely. Children must always be supervised in order to ensure that they do not play with the equipment. Important! Before you put the equipment into operation, arrange for a specialist to check that the - earthing - protective multiple earthing - residual-current operated circuit-breaker circuit comply with the safety regulations of the power supply company and work correctly. The electrical plug-in connections must be protected from wet conditions. If there is a risk of flooding, place the plug-in connections in an area which is safe from flooding. Strictly avoid pumping aggressive liquids and abrasive substances. Protect the equipment from frost. Protect the equipment from dry running. Take suitable measures to keep the equipment out of the reach of children. CAUTION! Read all safety regulations and instructions. Any errors made in following the safety regulations and instructions may result in an electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Keep all safety regulations and instructions in a safe place for future use.

2. Integrated floating switch

4. Universal hose connection

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 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 Anleitung_BG_SP_550_IF_SPK1:_ 11.06.2008 10:54 Uhr Seite 10GB

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.

5. Before putting the equipment into

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

4) is used, it should be shortened (as shown in Fig. 6)

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 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- ups). Note: The pump shaft should measure at least 40 x 40 x 50 cm so that the floating 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 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. 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 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 ~ 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. Function of the integrated floating switch Automatic mode: The selector switch (A) must be in the lower position during automatic mode (Fig. 2). This activates the integrated floating switch. The activation height is approximately 14 cm. The pump switches off again at approximately 6 cm. Manual mode/shallow water: The selector switch (A) must be in the upper position to operate manually or in shallow water (Fig. 3). This bridges the integrated floating switch so that the equipment runs continuously. In manual mode water can be sucked up until a level of 5 mm remains. Anleitung_BG_SP_550_IF_SPK1:_ 11.06.2008 10:54 Uhr Seite 1112

Please note: For the equipment to suck up water in manual mode there must be a minimum depth of 60 mm of water! Important! The equipment is not allowed to run dry!

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.

8. Cleaning, maintenance and

ordering of spare parts Important! 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.

8.1 Cleaning the paddle wheel

1. Unscrew the screws and remove the switch

housing (2) (Fig. 4).

2. Unscrew the screws on the bottom of the pump

and remove the intake cage (3) (Fig. 5).

3. Clean the paddle wheel with clear water.

Important! Do not put down or rest the equipment on the paddle wheel!

4. Assemble in reverse order.

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