3. Range of Application and Media

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.

Other pumping media are:

sea water
salt water
sewage water
- cleaning agents for textiles
- lye
non-corroding saline solutions

Caution!

The max. permissible liquid temperature is 35^

When liquids containing solids are pumped, the solids must not be larger than specified in the "Technical Specifications".

Pumping liquids containing abrasives (such as sand) reduces the service life of the pump.

4. Safety

4.1 Specified conditions of use

This pump must not be used to supply drinking water or for pumping foodstuff.

Explosive, flammable, aggressive liquids or substances detrimental to health and sewage must not be pumped.

Any other use is not as specified. 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 instructions

Children, juveniles and persons not familiar with the instructions are not permitted to operate the pump.

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 pertaining to the safe operation of submersible pumps are to be observed.

The following residual risks do principally exist when operating submersible pumps and cannot be fully eliminated - even by employing safety devices.

Hazard by ambient conditions!

• Do not use the pump in hazardous locations or near inflammable liquids and gases!

Danger: Hot water!

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

• 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 correspond to those stated in the "Technical Specifications".
  Protection must be provided by a residual current device (RCD) of max. 30mA 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 section (see "Technical Specifications"). 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 cannot get into the liquid to be pumped.
  Unplug:

• Pror to all servicing;

• when persons are in the swimming pool or garden pond.

Danger by pump failings!

If you notice transport damage while unpacking, notify your supplier immediately. Do not operate the machine!
- Before each use check the pump, especially power cable and plug for possible damage. Risk of fatal electric 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 liquid 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 following:

alarm or
collection tank with monitoring.

The manufacturer is not liable for any damage caused by:

improper use of the pump;
- overloading of the pump through continuous operation;
- 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 qualified electricians!);
- use of spare parts which have not been tested and approved by the manufacturer; or
use of unsuitable installation materials (fittings, connection lines etc.).

Suitable installation materials:

• pressure-resistant (min. 10 bar)
• heat-resistant (min. 100^ ).

5. Prior to Operation

5.1 Discharge hose connection

• Connect discharge hose with hose barb or connector supplied to the discharge port (8).

5.2 Installation

• Required space is approx. 50cm× 50~cm (for the float switch to operate properly it must be able to move freely).
• Pump must not be submerged deeper into water then stated in the "Technical Specifications".
• Place pump fully submerged.
• Place pump so that the suction inlet will not be blocked by foreign objects (stand on a base, if necessary).
• Ensure sufficient upright stability.

Caution!

Do not lift pump at cable or discharge hose; both are not designed for the tensile load by the weight of the pump.

1. Submerge pump at an angle to avoid an air cushion at the underside, which would prevent priming. Once the pump is submerged, it can be set into an upright position.

2. Lower pump to the bottom of the liquid container. Use a strong rope, fastened to the cable eye, to lower the pump.

The pump can also be operated when suspended by a rope.

• To start the submersible pump plug power cable in.
  Unplug to stop the pump.

6. Operation

6.1 Switching ON and OFF

After connection to the mains, the submersible pump is automatically switched ON and OFF by the float switch:

It starts pumping when the liquid has lifted the float switch fully (9).
- The pump switches OFF when the float switch has fallen down (10).

The cable for the float switch can be moved in the cable holder (11) to adjust the distance between the switching ON and OFF positions:

• "Short" float switch cable: ON and OFF positions are close together.
• "Long" float switch cable: ON and OFF positions are quite apart.

Caution!

The float switch must be able to move in such way that the pump cannot run dry.

6.2 Pump characteristic curve

The pump characteristic curve shows which pump capacity is possible in dependence on the delivery head.

7. Care and Maintenance

Danger!

Prior to all servicing:

Switch Off.
Unplug.

Service and repair work other than described here must be left to qualified specialists.

7.1 Periodic maintenance

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 persistent 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.

Impeller cleaning

1. Remove submersible pump's base as illustrated.

1. Clean impeller and all accessible inside surfaces of the casing. Remove any fibres which may have wound around the impeller shaft. Remove persistent soiling with brush and dishwashing liquid.
2. Reassemble pump.

7.2 Pump storage

Caution!

Frost damages the pump and accessories, as both always contain water!

• When there is danger of freezing remove pump and accessories and store at a frost-proof location.

8. Trouble Shooting

Danger!

Prior to all servicing:

• Switch Off.
  Unplug.

8.1 Fault finding
