Where can the pump be used? This submersible pump has been designed for private usage in or around the home and garden. Submersible pumps are primarily used for draining water, moving liquids and emptying water reservoirs, cellars, boats etc., and also for temporary circulation of water. The pumps are completely watertight and can be submerged in liquid with a maximum depth of 5 metres. These pumps are not suitable for table fountains or aquariums. If the pump is used in a pond containing fish, you must take measures to prevent the fish being sucked into the pump. This pump can be used to pump clean and lightly polluted, non- aggressive liquids. The liquid may contain particles of max. 3mm (Flow-Pro 550CW) or max. 16mm (Flow-Pro 550DW) diameter. Sand (and similar materials) in the liquid that is to be pumped will have a corrosive effect and will lead to increased wear and tear. Corrosive, lightly flammable or explosive liquids (such as petrol, diesel, paraffin, thinners etc.), seawater, fats, oil, salty or contaminated water from toilets etc. cannot be pumped! The temperature of the pumped liquids must not exceed 40°C. Always prevent the pump from running if no water is being moved. Note: these pumps may not be used in a swimming pool! This pump is not suitable for continuous use, such as the continual circulation of water. This type of use will substantially shorten the pump’s life expectancy. Description21

Before use When preparing the device for use, take the plug out of the electrical socket! Hose connection Connect the hose connector to the fitting. The hose connector goes from 25 to 32 mm (or 1” to 1½”). If you are exclusively using a more wide hose, you can remove the remaining piece of the fitting with a sharp knife or saw. Attach the hose to the appropriate part of the connector with a hose clamp (or turn it on it). The best results of pumping efficiency are achieved with a 32 mm hose.

• Make sure the pump is positioned at a stable location, particularly if you want it to work automatically.

• Ensure that the suction openings are not blocked (not even partially). If the pump is positioned on a soft surface (e.g. a sand bed), place it on a tile or something similar.

• Do not use the electrical cable to lift the pump or hang it up. If you wish to locate the pump in a water source or shaft, use a rope that is attached to the handle to do so.

• If the pump is being installed into a permanent location, with a fixed drainage system, you are advised to install a connection point at a handy location in order to simplify cleaning and maintenance.

• If you are using the pump temporarily, you may use a flexible hose that is connected to the pump using a hose clamp. Operation The electrical cable must be at least a HO5RN-F 3x0.75mm², with a length of at least 10 metres. Any extension cable must be of the type HO5RN-F 3x1.5mm². Before use, check that the values of the socket to which you wish to connect the pump correspond to those on the type plate on the pump itself (230V-50Hz) and that the socket is earthed and has an earth leakage circuit breaker (nominal voltage ≤30 mA). Make sure that no people present in the space to be pumped out (cellar/boat/pond etc). Ensure that electrical connections stay dry at all times.22

Automated function The Flow Pro 550 has an integrated float. Set the switch to the AUTO position (see diagram). Once you have plugged the device into the socket, the pump will switch on automatically when the water exceeds the start-level (140 mm) and switch off when the stop-level (30 mm) has been obtained. This means that the pump can be left on at all times and will keep the water in a cellar or boat, for example, at the required level. Bear in mind that this pump is not designed to be used continuously; it must be switched off at regular intervals. Despite the fact that the pump works automatically, regular supervision is required in order to ascertain that it has not encountered any functional problems and that it has not been damaged (see also: overheating safeguard). Manual function Set the switch to the MANUAL position. The pump will now not automatically switch off but carry on pumping, even if the remaining water level (CW: 3mm – DW: 16mm.) is reached and the pump runs dry. Switch it off immediately! You must always supervise the pump during manual operation. Overheating safeguard Your submersible pump is equipped with an overheating safeguard. This switches the pump off automatically if the motor gets too hot. Once it has cooled down sufficiently, the pump will automatically switch on again. There is always a cause for overheating: the fan may have become jammed, a bearing may be worn, the pump can run dry etc. and if the cause is not removed, the device will overheat once again. If this process is repeated too often it may cause serious damage to your pump. Try to establish what is wrong and resolve the problem. If the pump needs to be opened up you must take it to your supplier or an accredited professional. If there is insufficient supervision of a pump that is functioning automatically, the pump may break down despite the presence of the overheating safeguard. The user is always responsible for supervising the device!23

Maintenance Before you carry out checking or cleaning tasks on the pump you must switch it off by taking the plug from the socket. Your submersible pump is more or less maintenance-free. The only tasks you must carry out are as follows:

• Carry out a regular visual inspection. Make sure the pump is not damaged. Check the electrical cable, the plug, the float switch and the float cable for damage too. If you discover damage, you must take the device to your supplier or an accredited professional. Never attempt to carry out repairs yourself and never open the pump!

• Regularly check that the float switch is working effectively, particularly if you have set the pump to work automatically (every 3 months). Regularly remove residues from the float with clean water. Turn the pump upside-down, open the side-panel with a pin or similar and remove (see diagram). Take the pin and float out and clean the float and the magnet. Prevent damage or incorrect assembly and do not remove the float from the pin!

• Regularly check whether any dirt (fibres, residues) has accumulated around the blade. Remove it if this is the case by cleaning the pump with clean water. If you cannot do so, take the pump to your supplier or to an accredited professional to open the device and remove the residue.

• If you regularly use the pump at different locations, you must rinse with clean water (inside and out) after each use.

• Keep the base of the well (or the tile on which the pump is positioned) free from mud and residue.

• Ensure that the pump does not freeze. Before winter sets in, run the pump dry and store it in a frost-free location.24
