5. Before starting the equipment

Before you connect the equipment to the mains supply make sure that the data on the rating plate are identical to the mains data. Warning! Always pull the power plug before making adjustments to the equipment.

6.1 Connecting the intake line

As a basic principle, we recommend the use of a preliminary fi lter and a suction set with suction hose, suction strainer and non-return valve, in order to prevent long priming periods and unne- cessary damage to the pump as a result of stones and solid foreign bodies.

The intake hose or pipe should have a mi- nimum diameter of approx. 25 mm (1”); a diameter of approx. 32 mm (11/4”) is recom- mended for suction heights exceeding 5 m.

Connect the intake valve (foot valve) with in- take cage to the intake line.

Position the intake line so that it rises from the water withdrawal point to the equipment. Avoid positioning the suction pipe higher than the pump, as this would delay the escape of air bubbles from the suction pipe and impede the priming process.

Install the intake and discharge lines in such a way that they do not exert any mechanical pressure on the equipment.

The intake valve should be low enough in the water to ensure that if the water level falls, the equipment will not run dry.

A leaking intake line will draw in air and there- fore not draw in any water.

6.2 Connecting the discharge line

The discharge line approx. 19 mm (3/4”) must be connected to the approx. 33,3 (R 1IG) discharge line connector of the equipment either directly or with the aid of a threaded nipple.

With the right couplings it is also possible, of course, to use a approx. 13 mm (1/2“) delive- ry hose. The smaller delivery hose results in a lower delivery rate.

During the priming operation, fully open any shut-off mechanisms (spray nozzles, valves, etc.) in the pressure line so that the air can escape without obstruction.

6.3 Electrical connections

Connect the appliance to a 230 V ~ 50 Hz socket-outlet with earthing contact. Minimum fuse 10 ampere.

A built-in thermostat protects the motor from overloading and blocking. The pump is swit- ched off automatically by the thermostat if overheating occurs and is switched on again automatically after cooling.

Install the equipment on a solid and level sur- face.

Fill the pump housing with water via the water filler screw (5). Filling the intake line accelera- tes the intake process.

Connect the mains cable. The intake process starts automatically; water can be suctioned in for up to 5 minutes (maximum suction height).

The equipment will shut down when the cut- out pressure of 3 bar is reached.

After a loss of pressure due to water con- sumption the equipment will cut in again auto- matically (cut-in pressure approx. 1.5 bar).

7. Replacing the power cable

Danger! If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid danger.

8. Cleaning, maintenance and

ordering of spare parts The equipment is almost completely maintenance free. In order to ensure a long service life, howe- ver, we recommend that you regularly check and care for the product. Danger! The equipment must be disconnected from the power supply (pull the power plug) prior to perfor- ming any maintenance. Anl_GC_WW_6036_SPK9.indb 16Anl_GC_WW_6036_SPK9.indb 16 21.08.2019 13:58:0721.08.2019 13:58:07GB

If the equipment becomes clogged, connect the discharge line to the water line and dis- connect the suction hose. Open the water line. Switch on the equipment several times for approx. two seconds. This should resolve the majority of clog-related problems.

Inside the pressure tank is an expandable water sack and an air compartment whose maximum pressure should lie at approx. 1.3 bar. Pumping water into the water sack cau- ses the sack to expand so that the pressure in the air compartment rises to switch-off level. If the air pressure is too low, you should raise it. To do so, unscrew the plastic lid from the tank and top up the pressure to the correct level using a tyre pump with meter at the valve. Important: Be sure to completely empty the water bag fi rst using the water drain screw (2).

Replacing the mains cable: Important: Disconnect the equipment from the power supply! A defective mains cable may only be replaced by a qualifi ed electrician.

There are no parts inside the equipment which require additional maintenance.

If the pump is not going to be used for a long time or has to be removed for the winter months, rinse it out with water, empty it com- pletely and allow it to dry.

The equipment must be completely drained before it is subjected to frost.

After long stoppages, make sure the rotor turns correctly by briefly switching the pump on and off.
