The device contains electrical and mechanical compo- nents. Always disconnect the device from the power supply before assembling, disassembling or cleaning. Note The shorter the hose length and larger the hose diame- ter, the higher the delivery rate. To avoid clogging the pump, use a pre-filter for hose di- ameters smaller than 1 ¼″. ● SP 17000 Flat Level Sensor: Accessories ● SP 22000 Dirt Level Sensor: Integrated in the foot The pump connection is equipped with a plug system (Quick-Connect). The Connection nozzle with G 1 ½ pump connecting piece is supplied unmounted with the device. Note Hoses with a diameter of 1″, 1 ¼″ and 1 ½″ can be con- nected to the pump connecting piece G 1 ½. A sufficiently large hose diameter must be selected and the pump connecting piece must be shortened accord- ing to the grooves so that the required particle size can be used. A large hose diameter is also recommended for smaller particle sizes to allow a high flow volume. Connecting the hose to the pump: 1 Screw the G 1 ½ pump connecting piece onto the connection nozzle. Illustration B 2 Push the hose clamp onto the hose.English 11 3 Push the hose onto the G 1 ½ pump connecting piece and fasten it with a hose clamp. 4 Push the connection nozzle into the Quick-Connect. Illustration C Erecting/immersing the pump: 1 Push the level sensor onto the rail from above. Illustration D 2 Fold the feet out or in. (SP 17000 Flat Level Sensor) Illustration E Note The feet do not necessarily need for be folded out bit folding out the feet provides a higher delivery rate. Fold- ing the feet in allows flat suction of liquids to a residual fluid height of 1 mm. 3 Installing/removing the pre-filter. (SP 17000 Flat Level Sensor) Illustration E Note It is not necessary to install the pre-filter, but a higher delivery rate is reached by installing the pre-filter (only for SP 17000 Flat Level Sensor). The pumped liquid is pre-filtered by the pre-filter to protect the pump from heavy contamination. Particles of up to 5 mm can still be pumped when using the filter. Removing the pre-filter al- lows flat suction of liquids to a residual fluid height of 1 mm. (only for SP 17000 Flat Level Sensor). 4 Place the pump securely on solid ground in the pumped liquid or immerse it via a rope attached to the carrying handle. Note The suction area must not be blocked by soiling. If the ground is muddy, place the pump on a brick or similar. Make sure that the pump stands level. Do not carry the pump using the cable or hose. Operation DANGER Danger of death from electric shock. Danger of death from electric shock if live parts are touched. During operation, do not touch the rope attached to the carrying handle or any objects that are in contact with the pumped liquid (e.g. pipelines protruding into the pumped liquid, railings) and do not reach into the pumped liquid. Automatic venting device p. 1310

1. If the fluid level is low, any sucked-in air, or air pres-

ent in the pump, may escape via the automatic vent- ing device. Fluid can also leak along with air. If the pump has problems with suction when the fluid level is low, unplug and plug in the mains plug re- peatedly to assist the suction process. Illustration F Automatic mode Note In automatic mode, the level sensor controls the pump- ing process automatically. The pump switches on when the level sensor makes contact with the rising pumped liquid. The pump switches off when the level sensor loses con- tact with the falling pumped liquid and an after-running time of 15 s has expired. Illustration G Switching on: Minimum fluid level required to enable the pump to suck independently (= minimum switch-on point): ● SP 17000 Flat Level Sensor: 7 mm (57 mm when using the pre-filter) ● SP 22000 Dirt Level Sensor: 50 mm Highest adjustable switching height of the level sensor: ● SP 17000 Flat Level Sensor: 190 mm (240 mm when using the pre-filter) ● SP 22000 Dirt Level Sensor: 237 mm Minimum residual fluid height/max. suction depth: ● SP 17000 Flat Level Sensor: 1 mm (without pre-fil- ter, with folded feet) ● SP 22000 Dirt Level Sensor: 35 mm Note It is recommended to use the pre-filter. Note Make sure that the pump stands level. Otherwise the level sensor may not lose contact with the fluid and the pump can run dry.

1. Push the level sensor to the desired switch

-on height (contact with the pumped liquid). Note The higher the level sensor is set, the higher the switch- on and switch-off points. See the following table for ap- plication examples:

3. Plug the mains plug into a mains socket.

Manual mode Note In manual mode, the pump stays switched on.

2. Plug the mains plug into a mains socket.

ATTENTION Risk of damage from dry running! Dry running leads to increased wear on the pump. Do not leave the pump unattended in manual operation. In case of dry running, immediately pull the mains plug out of the socket. Application area SP 17000 Flat Level Sensor SP 22000 Dirt Level Sensor Shafts with a di- ameter < approx. 1 m (e.g. drain- age) Level sensor in uppermost posi- tion Level sensor in uppermost posi- tion We recommend- ed using the pre- filter Pre-filter flap closed (protection against soiling) Swimming pools, ponds (only for SP 22000 Dirt Level Sensor) Level sensor in lowest position Level sensor in lowest position Starting pumping with the pre-filter or folded-out feet Pre-filter flap closed (protection against soiling) Continuing pump- ing without the pre-filter and fold- ed-in feet (reach- es a residual fluid height of 1 mm) Note Perform in manu- al mode. Monitor the switch-off/ shallow suction.12 English Flat suction (SP 17000 Flat Level Sensor) It is recommended to use manual mode to reach the min. residual fluid height of 1 mm.
