• Do not work with damaged or incomplete equipment, or with equipment that has been converted without the approval of the manufacturer. Before ini- tial operation, have a specialist check that the required electrical protection measures are in place.

• Monitor the equipment during operation (particularly in resi- dential spaces, in order to detect automatic switching off or dry running of the pumps in time. Regularly check the function of the oat switch (see chapter “Operational start-up“). Non- observance will invalidate all guarantee and liability claims.

• Please note that the pump is not suitable for continuous operation (e.g. for watercourses in garden ponds). Check the equipment regularly for correct functioning.

• Note that the lubricants used in the equipment may cause dam- age or contamination if they escape. Do not use the pump in garden ponds with sh stocks or valuable plants.

• Do not carry or x the equipment by the cable or pressure line.

• Protect the equipment from frost and from running dry.

• Use only original accessories and do not carry out conversion work on the equipment.

• Please read the notes in the op- erating instructions on the topic of “Maintenance and Cleaning” and “Storage”. Any measures above and beyond these, par- ticularly opening the equipment, are to be carried out by an elec- trician. In the case of repairs, al- ways contact our service centre.2 1 G B I E

• Disconnect the mains plug from the socket before all work on the equipment, in case of leaks in the water system, during work breaks, and when not in use.

• The cross-section of mains con- nection lines must be no smaller than rubber hose lines with the designation 05RN8-F. The line must be 10 m long. The exible lead cross-section of the exten- sion cord must at least 2.5mm

• If the power cable for this equip- ment is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, a customer service agent of the same or a similarly qualied per- son in order to prevent hazards. Operationalstart-up Assembly To screw-on the adaptor:

1. Screw the angle adaptor (11) and the

hose adaptor (9) onto the pump outlet (4). Float switch assembly:

2. Clip the oat switch retaining clip (6) into

one of the two recesses on the handle (1). Connection of the pressureline The installation of the submersible water pump is implemented either - with xed pipe or - with exible hose line.

• If using a ½” hose, attach the hose over the pump’s hose connection (9) and fas- ten it with a hose clamp if necessary.

• To use a ¾”, 1“ or 1½” hose, cut off the connection above and attach the hose over the correct connection (xing with a hose clamp). Electrical safety: Caution: to avoid accidents and injuries from electric shocks:

• After erection, the mains plug must be freely accessible when the equipment is in operation.

• Before operating your new pump, have a specialist check: - The earthing, the protective multiple earthing; the residual current circuit breaking must be compliant with the safety regula- tions of the energy supply com- pany and function without fault, - The protection of the electrical plug connections from the wet.

• If there is a risk of ooding, x the plug connections in an area that is safe from ooding. Risk of electric shock.

• Ensure that the mains voltage matches the specications on the rating plate.

• The electrical installation shall be according to national wiring rules.

• Before each use, check the equip- ment, cable and plug for dam- age. Defective cables are not to be repaired, but rather replaced by new ones. Have damage on your equipment repaired by an authorised specialist.

• Do not pull the plug from the socket by the cable. Protect the cable from heat, oil and sharp edges.

• Do not carry or x the equipment by the cable.

• Use only extension cables that are protected from spray water and designed for outdoor use. Always fully unroll a cable drum before use. Check the cable for damage.2 2 G B I E

• For the use of a tap connector with internal thread (G 1”) for connecting ex- ternal hose connection systems, cut the top three connections off directly over the G 1” threaded pipe.

• Connect a tap connector with internal thread (G 1 ½”) directly to the angle adapter (11). The measurement of the maximum performance data takes place under optimal conditions, such as a straight, direct exit. The angle adaptor (11) and the backow stop- per (

10) may reduce output.

To increase pump output, the backow stopper

10) may be taken out of the angle adap-

tor (11) (see “replacing backow stopper”). This is particularly recommended for hose connections smaller than 1“. Please bear in mind that the water may then ow back dur- ing pumping, or in the event of a power cut. Toerect/suspend The pump can be erected or sus- pended in the water. The cord (12) contained in the delivery contents may be used to suspend and/or extract the pump. The pump shaft should have the dimen- sions 40 x 40 x 50cm at least, so that the oat switch can move freely. Fix the nylon rope (12) onto the carrying handle (1). Ensure that the equipment is not hung up or held by the mains cable. There is a risk of electric shock from dam- aged mains cables. Note that, over time, dirt and sand may collect on the bottom of the shaft, which could damage the pump. We recommend placing the pump on a brick or a grid. If the water level is too low, the silt in the shaft can quickly dry out and im- pede the pump when warming up. Controlsbeforeoperational start-up

• Check that the oat switch is work- ing (see chapter: “Operation“).

• Check that the pump is resting on the pit base

• Check that the pressure line has been attached properly

• Check the proper status of the electrical plug socket and make sure that the plug socket is sufciently fused (at least 6 A). Insert the pump plug into the plug socket and the pump is ready for operation.

• Make sure that moisture or water never come in contact with the mains connec- tion.There is a risk of electrocution. Operation Mains connection The submersible water pump acquired by you is already provided with an grounded plug. The equipment is designed for con- nection to an earthed wall socket with a residual current operated device (RCD switch) at 230 V ~ 50Hz. Only start to operate the device after all the above conditions have been observed.2 3 G B I E Switching on and off

1. Insert the plug in the socket. The pump

starts working immediately. The pump immediately starts running when the swimming switch is in the correct position (see „Automatic opera- tion“ and „Manual operation“).

2. To switch off, withdraw the plug from

the socket. The pump stops. If the water level is too low, the oat switch will automatically switch off the pump. Supervise the appliance while it is in operation in order to be immedi- ately aware if the automatic cut-out operates or the pump runs dry, to limit any damage to a minimum. Automatic mode In automatic mode, the oat switch (5) au- tomatically switches the pump on or off. In the case of stationary installa- tion, check regularly (no less then once every three months) that the oat switch (5) is working. The On/Off switch point of the oat switch (5) is innitely variable: You can vary the switch-on and switch-off point by: - selecting one of the two notches on the handle (1). - varying the length of the oat switch ca- ble (7). Push/pull the cable (7) through the eye on the retaining clip (6) for this. Check the oat switch (5). - It must be positioned so that it can lift and lower freely. The switching point heights “On” and “Off” must be easy to reach. Check this by placing the pump into a vessel lled with water and lift the oat switch (5) care- fully by hand and then lower it again. In this case, you can see whether the pump switches on and off. - Make sure that the distance between the oat switch (5) and oat switch retaining clip (6) is not too small. In the case of a separation distance which is too small, trouble-free functioning cannot be guaranteed. - During the adjustment of the oat switch (5), ensure that the oat switch does not contact the oor before the pump switches off. There is a risk of dry running if the oat switch cable (7) is chosen too long, in particular if the oat switch retaining clip (6) is not clipped in (see “Initial start-up”). Manualmode/at suction Caution: Avoid dry running of the pump! Danger of over- heating! Never touch an overheated pump! There is a danger of burns! In manual mode, the pump does not switch off automatically, as the oat switch (5) is bypassed.2 4 G B I E The oat switch (5) must be positioned ver- tically upwards on the pump for this. Clip the oat switch retaining clip (6) into one of the two recesses on the handle (1). Pull the oat switch cable (7) through the retaining clip (6), until the oat switch (5) is positioned vertically above the retaining clip (6). See illustration

Monitor the pump constantly when in manual mode. Switch the pump off immediately (disconnect from the mains) if no more water is be- ing pumped. There is a risk of dam- age if the pump runs dry. Maintenance and Cleaning Clean and maintain your equipment regu- larly. This will guarantee its performance and long durability. Ask our service centre to car- ry out any work that is not described in these instruc- tions. Use only original parts. There is a risk of injury! Pull out the power plug before eve- ry maintenance operation. There is a risk of electrocution or of injury from moving parts. General cleaning instructions
