3.2 General safety instructions

– When using this pump observe the follow- ing safety instructions to exclude the risk of personal injury or material damage. – Follow the legal guidelines or accident prevention regulations for use of submers- ible pumps. – When the pump is being used in swim- ming pools and garden ponds and in the protected areas around them, the regula- tions must be observed in accordance with DIN VDE 0100-702 and -738. All local regulations pertaining to the safe operation of submersible pumps must also be followed. – The pump must be protected by a residual current device (RCD) with a trip current of max 30 mA. AGeneral danger! Do not operate the pump if anyone is in con- tact with the pumping media (e.g. in the swimming pool or garden pond)! The following residual risks do exist in princi- ple during operation of submersible pumps and cannot be fully eliminated – even through use of safety devices. ADanger from the environment! Do not use the pump in hazardous locations or near inflammable liquids or gases! BDanger! Risk of electric shock! Do not touch the plug with wet hands! To un- plug always pull on the plug, not the power cable. Connect only to an earthed outlet that has been properly installed, earthed and tested. Mains voltage and fuse protection must cor- respond to those stated in the 'Technical Specifications'. Always lift and transport the pump by the handle, never by the power cable or dis- charge hose. Extension cables must have sufficient con- ductor cross sections. Unroll cable reels ful- ly. Do not buckle, squeeze, drag or drive over power cable or extension cables; protect from sharp edges, oil and heat. Position extension cable such that it cannot get into the fluid to be pumped. Always unplug before servicing the pump. BRisk of electric shock from pump faults! Before each use check the equipment, espe- cially the power and extension cables, power plug and float switch for possible damage. Risk of fatal electric shock!

ENGLISH Do not attempt to repair the pump yourself! If repaired improperly there is a danger of fluid penetrating the electrical parts of the pump.

4.1 Connecting the discharge line

1. For selection of the largest discharge line

diameter: cut the smaller (9) attachment off the mul- ti-adapter. 3Note: The best pump capacity is achieved through selection of the largest discharge line diame- ter.

2. Place the non-return valve (11) in the dis-

charge port (12). The non-return valve must open in the direction of the arrow (la- bel 'UP' on the non-return valve must point to the multi-adapter).

3. Screw the multi-adapter (10) on to the dis-

4. Slide the discharge line over the multi-

adapter (10) and secure with a hose clamp.

4.2 Fixing the float switch cable

3Note: Fix the float cable such that the distance be- tween the cable holder and the float switch is at least 100 mm.

• Clip the float switch cable as illustrated in the cable holder (13). Ensure that the ca- ble is secured in the cable holder in such a way that it cannot slip.

4. Assembly and Installation

ENGLISH A Caution! The float switch cable may be damaged. Never pull on the float switch cable to change its position in the cable holder! Remove the cable from the cable holder and clip it back in the cable holder in the desired position.

4.3 Installation instructions

• Space required: approx. 50 x 50 cm. In order for the float switch to function properly it must be able to move freely.

• Submerge the pump to no more than the maximum immersion depth specified in the technical data.

• Install the pump such that the suction in- lets cannot be blocked by foreign objects. If necessary place the pump on a support surface.

• Ensure sufficient upright stability. BRisk of electric shock from severed cables! Do not lift or transport the pump by the ca- bles or the discharge hose! The cables and the discharge hose are not designed to with- stand the tensile stress produced by the weight of the pump.

4.4 Installing the pump

1. Submerge pump at a slight angle to avoid

creating an air cushion on the underside, which would prevent priming. Once the pump is submerged, it can be placed up- right.

2. Lower pump to the bottom of the fluid con-

tainer. Use a strong rope fastened to the lifting eye to lower the pump. The pump can also be operated when suspended by a rope.

3. Before operating the pump again ensure

that the pump line has been completely emptied. When doing so vent the pump if necessary.

5.1 Switching ON and OFF

After you have connected the pump to the mains it will be switched on (14) and off (15) automatically by the float switch. The point in time at which switching occurs depends on the water level. Adjusting the ON and OFF times for the pump The position of the float switch cable in the cable holder can be changed. The time inter- val between pump switch-on and switch-off is thereby adjusted: – 'Short' float switch cable: ON and OFF po- sitions are close together. – 'Long' float switch cable: ON and OFF po- sitions are far apart. A Caution! The pump may run dry and thereby be dam- aged. The float switch must always be able to move up and down to allow the pump to be switched on and off. ADanger from faulty pump! Take appropriate measures to ensure that pump faults do not cause consequential

ENGLISH damage through flooding of rooms. This must be ensured, for example, through in- stallation of an alarm system or a reserve pump. ADanger! Do not let the pump run against a closed pump line. ADanger! Unplug before maintaining or cleaning. Repair and maintenance work other than de- scribed in this section should only be carried out by qualified specialists.

For the pump to function perfectly at all times routine care is required. This also applies if the pump is not switched on for extended pe- riods of time (e.g. during operation in soaka- ways). Cleaning the pump

1. Rinse pump with clean water. Remove

persistent marks, e.g. algae deposits, with brush and dishwashing liquid.

2. To rinse the inside of the pump:

dip pump into a container of clean water and switch on briefly.

A Caution! Frost damages the pump and accesso- ries as both always contain water!

• If there is a danger of frost disassemble pump and accessories and store in frost- free conditions. ADanger! Prior to all servicing: Unplug.

• Mains voltage too low. – Use an extension cable with sufficient conductor diameter.

• Motor overheated; motor protection relay tripped. – Eliminate the cause of overheating (pump blocked by foreign objects?). – After cooling the pump will switch ON again.

• Float switch does not switch pump ON when water level rises. – Make sure the float switch can move unrestrictedly. If, despite sufficient mobility of the float switch, the pump does not switch ON: send the pump to the service centre in your country. Motor hums, but does not start:

• Pump blocked by foreign objects. – Clean impeller. Pump runs, but does not pump properly:

• Delivery head too high. – Observe max delivery head (see 'Tech- nical Specifications').

• Discharge hose kinked. – Straighten discharge hose.

• Discharge hose leaky. – Seal discharge hose; tighten screw fit- tings.

• Non-return valve incorrectly installed. Pump runs very noisily:

• Pump is sucking air. – Ensure there is a sufficient water sup- ply. – Foreign objects are present (clean pump). – Manual mode has been set (shallow water suctioning). – Hold pump at an angle when submerg- ing. Pump runs continuously:

• Float switch does not reach cut-out posi- tion. – Make sure the float switch can move unrestrictedly.

ENGLISH ADanger! Repair of power tools must be carried out by qualified electricians only! Power tools in need of repair can be sent to the service centre in your country.
