ead these instructions before use. Pay special attention to the safety instructions. Disregard of the operating instruc- tions invalidates the manufacturer's

arranty; the manufacturer is not liable for any damages resulting from such disregard. If you notice transport damage while unpacking, notify your supplier immediately. Do not operate the machine!

ispose of the packing in an envi- ronmentally friendly manner. Take to a proper collecting point. Keep these instructions for refer- ence on any issues you may be uncertain about.

If you lend or sell this machine be sure to have the instructions go with it. This equipment is intended for pumping clea r water in domestic applications, such as irrigation, well, rain and service water pump- ing, draining of pools, garden ponds and water tanks. The max. permissible temperature of the pumped medium is 35 °C.

4.1 Specified conditions of

use This equipment must not be used to sup- ply drinking water or for pumping food- stuff. Explosive, flammable or aggressive flu- ids and substances detrimental to health must not be pumped. This equipment is not suitable for com- mercial or industrial use. Alteration of the equipment or use of

rts not approved by the equipment manufacturer is not permitted. Any inexpert use the equipment is not as speci fied; it can cause unforeseen dam- age!

4.2 General safety instruc-

tions Children, juveniles and persons not fam- ilar with the instructions are not permit- ted to operate the pump. When used in swimming pools and gar- den ponds and their range of protection, the re gulations according to DIN VDE 0100 -702, -738 are to be observed. When used as domestic water supply any applicable local regulations pertain- ing to water supply and waste water dis- posal, plus DIN 1988 (where applicable) are to be obse rved. The following residual risks do principally exist when operating pumps – they can not be fully eliminated even by employ- ing safety devices.

Hazard by ambient conditions! Do not expose to rain. Do not operate in

mp or wet environment. Do not direct water jet directly against the eq uipment or other electrical parts! Risk of fatal electric shock! Do not use the pump in hazardous loca- tions or near inflammable liquids and gas es!

If the shut-off pressure of the pressure switch can not be reached due to poor pressure conditions or a defective pres- sure switch the water can heat up within the pump as a resul t of internal circula- tion. Through this the pump and the connec- tion lines can become damaged or lea ky, allowing hot water to escape. Danger of scalding!

o not operate the pump against a closed pressure line for longer than 5 minutes.

nplug the pump and allow to cool. A specialist must check the system to make sure it is in perfect working order before it can be used again.

Danger! Risk of electric shock! Always unplug before servicing. Do not touch the plug with wet hands! To

plug always pull on the plug, not the power cable. Do not buckle, squeeze, drag or drive over power cable and extension cables; protect from sharp edges.

Danger by pump failings! Before each use check the equipment, especially the power cable, plug and electrical parts for possible damage. Risk of fatal electric shock! A damaged pump must be workmanlike repa ired before it can be used again. Do not attempt to repair the equipment yourself ! Only trained specialists are permitted to service or repair pumps.

Caution! To avoid water damage, e.g. flooded rooms, caused by pump mal- functions or defects: provide for suitable safety measures such as the following: alarm or collection tank with monitoring. The manufacturer is not liable for any damage caused by:

mproper use of the pump; overloading of the pump through continous operation; fai lure to operate and store the pump in a frost-free environment;

nauthorised modification of the pump (repairs to electrical equip- ment may only be carried out by

ualified electricians!); use of spare parts which have not been tested and approved by the manufacturer; or

se of unsuitable installation materi- als (fittings, connection lines etc.). Suitable installation materials: pressure-resistant (min. 10 bar) heat-resistant (min. 100°C). The equipment is easily assembled and conn ected. If in doubt, contact your specialist sup- plier or qualified electrician. Table of Contents

prevent vibrations, the equip- ment should not be fastened with screws but placed onto an elastic base. The installation location should be well vented and protected from atmospheric exposure. When operated at garden ponds and pools the equipment must be set up safe against flooding and pro- tected from falling into the water. Any a dditional legal requirements are to be observed.

5.2 Suction line connection

Note: Possibly further accessories may

Caution! The suction line needs to be installed in such manner that it does not exert mechanical force or distor- tion to the pump.

Caution! When pumping contaminated fluids install a suction strainer to pro- tect the pump from sand and dirt.

Note: A check valve is recommended to prevent water backflow when the pump is switched off. All screw fittings need to be sealed with thread sealing tape; leakage places cause the priming of air and reduce or prevent the priming of water. The suction line should have at least 1" (25 mm) inner diameter; it must be non -buckling and vacuum-proof. Keep suctio n line as short as practi- cal, since with increasing length the pump capa city is reduced. The suction line should raise towards the pump to prevent air locks. A sufficient water supply must be ensured, the foot valve at the end of the suction line must be submerged in water at all times.

Note: Possibly further accessories may be required for connection (see "Availa- ble Accessories").

Caution! The discharge (or pressure) line needs to be installed in such manner that it does not exert mecha- nical force or distortion to the pump. All screw fitti ngs should be sealed with thread sealing tape to prevent leakage. All parts of the pressure line must be resistant to internal pressure. All parts of the pressure line must be installed in a workmanlike manner.

Danger! Improper installation and use of parts not resistant to internal pres- sure can cause the pressure line to bre ak during operation. Risk of perso- nal injury by liquid spurting from the

ine under high pressure!

5.4 Mains connection

Danger! Risk of electric shock! Do not operate the equipment in wet environment and only under the following conditions: Connect only to an earthed outlet that is properly installed, earthed and tested.

ins voltage and fuse protection must correspond to those stated in the "Technical Specications". When operated at pools, garden ponds and similar locations, the equipment must be protected by a residual current operated device (RCD, 30 mA) (DIN VDE

0 -702, -738 or equivalent applicable local regulations). We recommend the use of RCD's as a ge neral precaution for per- sonal protection. When operated outdoors the elec- trical connections must be splash-proof; they must not be placed in water. Use only extension cables of suf- ficient lead cross section (see "Tec hnical Specifications"). Unroll cable reels fully.

5.5 Filling the pump and

Caution! After installation, loss of water or primi ng of air the pump needs to be filled with water. Starting the pump without water causes damage!

2. Slowly pour in clear water, until the

3. To reduce the time needed for prim-

ing you can also fill the suction line.

5. Open pressure line (open tap or

spray nozzle) for any air to escape during priming.

6. Start equipment (see "Operation").

7. Switch equipment OFF when water

runs out stea dily. Pump and suction line must be con- nected and filled (see "Prior to Opera- tion").

Caution! Pump must not run dry. Ensure there is al ways sufficient pumping medium (water) available. If the motor does not start, no pres- sure is built up or similar effects are evident, switch the equipment OFF – and try to remove the fault (see "Trouble Shooting"). If the pu mp should be blocked by a foreign object or the motor overheat, the motor protection will switch the motor off.

Note: This pumps runs as long as the ON/OFF switch is switched ON.

1. Plug power cable in.

2. Switch pump on with the ON/OFF
