This equipment is intended for pumping clea r water in domestic applications, such as irrigation, well, rain and service water pump- ing,

raining of pools, garden ponds and water tanks. The max. permissible temperature of the

mped 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, aggressive fluids or substances detrimental to health and salt water must not be pumped. This equipment is not suitable for com- mercial or industrial use. Alteration of the equipment or use of parts not approved by the equipment manufacturer is not permitted. Any improper of the pump is not as specified; it may cause unforeseeable damage!

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 and pres- sure vessels and can not be fully elimi- nated – even by employing safety dev ices.

Hazard by ambient conditions!

not expose to rain. Do not oper- ate in damp or wet environment. Do not use the pump in hazardous locations or near inflammable liquids and gases!

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 leaky, allowing hot water to escape. Danger of scalding!

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

o not direct water jet directly against the equipment or other elec- trical parts! Risk of fatal electric shock! Do not touch the plug with wet hands! To unplug always pull on the plug, not the power cable. The earthed outlet or the plug con- nection to an extension cable must

e located in an area safe against flooding. Use only extension cables of suffi- cient lead cross section (see “Tech- nical Specifications”). Unroll cable reels fully. Do not kink, squeeze, drag or run over power supply cable and exten- Table of Contents

ENGLISH sion cords; protect from sharp edges, oil and heat. 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 swim- ming pool or garden pond.

Danger by pump failures! If you notice transport damage while unpacking, notify your supplier immediately. Do not operate the machine!

fore each use check the pump, especially the power cable and plug for possible damage. Risk of fatal electric shock! A damaged pump must be work- manlike repaired before it can be used again. Do not attempt to repair the equip- ment yourself! Only trained special- ists are permitted to service or repair pumps or pressure vessel

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 colle ction tank with monitoring. The manufacturer is not liable for any damage caused by: imprope r use of the pump; overloading of the pump through continous operation;

ilure to operate and store the pump in a frost-free environment; unauthorised modification of the pump (repairs to electrical equip- ment may only be carried out by qua lified electricians!); use of spare parts which have not been tested and approved by the manufacturer; or use of unsuitable installation materi- als (fittings, connection lines etc.). Suitable installation materials: pressure-resi stant (min. 10 bar) hea t-resistant (min. 100°C). The equipment is easily assembled and connected. If in doubt, contact your specialist sup- plier or qualified electrician.

The equipment must be placed on a plane and level surface, suitable of bearing the weight of the equipment fully filled with water. Um Vib rationen zu vermeiden, sollte das Gerät auf eine elastische Unter- lage gestellt werden. 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 be required for connection (see “Availa- ble Accessories”).

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 pump from sand and dirt.

Note: A check valve is recommended to prevent water backflow when the pump is switched off. All screw fittings are to be sealed with thread sealing tape; leakages cause priming of air and reduce or prevent the priming of water. The suction line should be of at least 1" (25 mm) inner diameter; it must be resistent to buckling and vacuum proof. Keep suction line as short as practi- cal, since with increasing length the pump capacity 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)

ne needs to be installed in such manner that it does not exert mechan- ical 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 per- sonal injury by liquid spurting from the line under high pressure!

5.4 Mains connection

Danger! Risk of electric shock! Do not operate the equipment

wet environment and only under the following conditions: Connect only to an earthed outlet that is properly installed, earthed and tested. Mains 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 used outdoors all electri- cal connections must be of the splash-proof type; thez must not be placed in water. Use only extension cables of suf- ficient lead cross section (see “Technical Specifications”). Unroll cable reels fully.

5.5 Filling the pump and

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

Note: The suction line does not need to be filled, the pump is self-priming. How- ever, depending on length and diameter of the suction line it may take some time until pressure has built up.

2. Slowly pour in clear water, until the
