This pump is intended for pumping water in domestic applications, such as pumping containers, sumps and flooded basements; fountain pumps; circulation to avoid putrefaction; feeding false rivulets and brooks. Caution! The max. permissible fluid temperature is 35 °C. Pumping liquids containing abrasives (such as sand) reduces the service life of the pump. p. 13

4.1 Specified conditions of

use This pump must not be used to supply drinking water or for pumping foodstuff. Explosive, flammable, aggres- sive fluids or substances detri- mental to health, sewage must not be pumped. This pump is not suitable for commercial or industrial use. Any other use is not as speci- fied. Use not as specified, alteration of the machine or use of parts that are not approved by the equipment manufacturer, can cause unforeseeable damage!

4.2 General safety informa-

tion This device is not designed for use by persons (including chil

dren) with physical, sensory or mental disabilities, or with insufficient experience and/or knowledge, unless they are supervised by a person responsible for their safety, or have received instructions on how to use the device by this person. Never allow children to use the machine. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the tool. When used in swimming pools and garden ponds and their range of protection, the regulations according to DIN VDE 0100 -702, -738 are to be observed.

Also all local regulations per- taining to the safe operation of submersible pumps must be followed. The following residual risks do principally exist when operat

ing submersible pumps and can not be fully eliminated – even by employing safety devices.

Hazard by ambient con- ditions! Do not use the pump in haz- ardous locations or near inflammable liquids and gases!

If the shut-off pressure of the pressure switch cannot be reached due to poor pressure conditions or a defective pres

sure switch the water can heat up within the pump as a result of internal circulation. Through this the pump and the connection lines can become damaged or leaky, allowing hot water to escape. Danger of scalding! Do not operate the pump against a closed pressure line for longer than 5 minu

tes. Table of Contents

3. Range of Application and

ENGLISH Unplug 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! Do not touch the plug with wet hands! To unplug always pull at the plug, not the power cable. Connect only to an earthed outlet that is properly installed, earthed and tested. Mains voltage and fuse protection must corre

spond to those stated in the "Technical Specications". Protection must be pro- vided by a residual current device (RCD) of max.

mA capacity. The earthed outlet or the plug connection to an extension cable must be located in an area safe against flooding. Use only extension cables of sufficient lead cross sec

tion (see "Technical Specifi- cations"). Unroll cable reels fully. Do not buckle, squeeze, drag or drive over power cable and extension cables; protect from sharp edges. Place extension cable so that it can not get into the fluid to be pumped. Unplug: prior to all servicing; when persons are in the swimming pool or garden pond.

Danger by pump fail- ures! If you notice shipping dam- age while unpacking, notify your supplier immediately. Do not operate the machine! Before each use check the pump, especially the power cable and plug for possible damage. Risk of fatal elec

tric shock! A damaged pump must be workmanlike repaired before it can be used again. Do not attempt to repair the pump yourself! When repaired inexpertly there is a hazard of fluid entering the electrical parts of the pump.

Caution! To avoid water damage, e.g. flooded rooms, caused by pump malfunctions or defects: provide for suitable safety measures such as the fol

lowing: alarm or collection tank with moni- toring. The manufacturer is not liable for any damage caused by: improper use of the pump; overloading of the pump through continous opera

tion; failure to operate and store the pump in a frost-free environment; unauthorised modification of the pump (repairs to electrical equipment may only be carried out by quali

fied electricians!); use of spare parts which have not been tested and approved by the manufac

tion The discharge hose is connected either directly to the discharge port (10), or by means of the multi-adapter (11) (secure discharge hose with hose clamps, if nec-essary).The check valve's flap (12) must open in the direction indicated by the arrow. (The marking "UP" must face the multi adap tor).

Note:When using the multi adaptor cut off any parts nor required, as they reduce the flow unnecessarily.

Space required approx. 20 cm x 20 cm. The pump must not be submerged deeper into water then stated in the “Technical Specifications”. Place pump so that the suction inlet can not be blocked by foreign objects (stand on a base, if necessary). Ensure sufficient upright stability. Caution! Do not lift pump at cable or dis-charge hose; both are not designed for the tensile load by the weight of the pump. Lower pump to the bottom of the fluid container. Use a strong rope, fastened to the handle/hanger to lower the pump. The pump can also be operated when suspended by a rope. Any possibly present air cushion in the pump can escape through vent holes when the pump is lowered into the fluid. Venting generates air bub bles. This is no fault of the pump but the effect of automatic venting. When using the pump for the first time it may take several seconds before the air is vented. To start the submersible pump plug power cable in. Unplug to stop the pump.

5. Prior to Operation

ENGLISH Before plugging in set the operating mode with the Mode selector (13): Position A = Automatic mode Position M = Manual mode

In Automatic mode the submersible pump is automatically started and stopped by the integrated float switch: The pump starts pumping when the float switch is raised by the fluid above the starting level (14). The pump stops when float switch falls to below the cut-out level (15).

Caution! The float switch must be able to move in such way that the pump can not run dry.

Caution! Do not let run pump unat- tended in Manual mode. Risk of dam- age by pump running dry at low fluid levels. Stopping Contrary to Automatic operation the pump does not stop running when a cer- tain water level is reached. Push Mode selector (13) down into position A. The pump stops when the float switch lowers to below the cut-out level .

Danger! Prior to all servicing: Switch Off. Unplug. Service and repair work other than described here must be left to quali

For the pump to function perfectly at any time periodic maintenance is required. This also applies if the pump is used under heavy conditions, but does not run for extended periods of time (e.g. when used in well drains). Yearly service

1. Check pump casing, cables and

float switch for damage.

2. Rinse pump with clear water.

Remove persistant soiling, e.g. algae desposits, with brush and dishwashing liquid.

3. To flush the inside of the pump,

place it into a container filled with clear water and switch ON briefly. Rinsing the pump. Always rinse the pump with clear water when liquids were pumped that leave residues, such as chlor

ous water from a swimming pool. Cleaning the float switch

1. Set Mode selector (16) to position

"O", then press and hold the selec- tor to unlock the float cover (17). Remove float cover.

2. Unhook float (18) complete with

shaft (19) and clean.

3. Clean walls and floor of float com-

Cleaning the intake port's cover

inside surfaces of the casing. Remove any fibres which may have wound around the impeller shaft. Remove persistant soiling with brush and dishwashing liquid.

Caution! Frost damages the pump and accessories, as both always contain water! When there is danger of freezing remove pump and accessories and store in frost-free location.

Danger! Prior to all servicing: Switch OFF. Unplug.

7. Care and Maintenance

Pump does not run: No mains voltage. Check cables, plug, outlet and mains fuse. Mains voltage too low. Use only extension cables with sufficient lead cross section (see "Technical Specifications"). Motor overheated, motor protection relay tripped. Remove cause for overheating (fluid pumped too hot? Pump blocked by foreign objects?) After cooling off the pump will switch ON again. Float switch does not switch the pump ON. Ensure a sufficient supply of water. Make sure the float switch can move unrestricted. Motor hums but does not start: Pump blocked by foreign object. Clean pump. Pump does not pump properly: Delivery head too high. Observe max. delivery head (see "Technical Specifications"). Discharge hose kinked. Straighten discharge hose. Discharge hose leaky. Seal discharge hose, tighten screw fittings. Pump runs very noisily: Pump primes air. Ensure a sufficient supply of water. Adjust float switch correctly. Hold pump at an angle when sub- merging. Pump runs continuously: Float switch does not reach cut-out position. Make sure the float switch can move unrestricted. Set to Manual mode, unplug.

Danger! Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. Contact your local Metabo representa- tive if you have Metabo power tools requiring repairs. See www.metabo.com for addresses. You can download a list of spare parts from www.metabo.com. The packaging of the pump can be

% recycled. Worn out power tools and accessories contain considerable amounts of valua

ble raw and plastic materials, which can be recycled. These instructions are printed on paper produced with elemental chlorine free bleaching process.
