Frequently Asked Questions - SP 5 Dual Kärcher

Which liquids can I pump with the Kärcher SP 5 Dual?

You can pump fresh water, pool water with dosed additives, detergent solutions, and dirty water with up to 20 mm of particles. Do not use for unfiltered wastewater or aggressive liquids.

How to adjust the filter basket?

The filter basket has two positions. To change it, secure the pump between your feet, grip the handle and turn it to the right to release the basket. Place it in the desired position, then snap it back into place by turning the handle to the left.

What to do if the pump does not start or suddenly stops?

Check the power supply (fuses and sockets). If the thermal circuit breaker has tripped, unplug the pump, let it cool down, clean the suction area and avoid dry running.

How does the automatic mode work?

The float switch controls start and stop depending on the water level. Set the float to the high position for unattended use. The pump starts when the float rises and stops when it falls.

What is the minimum residual height in manual mode?

In manual mode with the basket in the 'flat suction' position, the residual height can be as low as 1 mm. In the 'clear and dirty water transport' position, it is 25 mm. Never leave the pump unattended in manual mode.

Can I use the pump continuously?

No, the appliance is not designed for continuous operation (e.g., fountain pump or permanent lifting station). Use it only for temporary pumping operations.

How to protect the pump from frost?

After use, empty the pump and hose completely. Let them dry and then store in a frost-free place. Frost can damage the appliance.

Which accessories and spare parts are recommended?

Use exclusively original Kärcher accessories and spare parts to ensure safety and proper operation. You can order them at www.kaercher.com.

What to do if the Quick-Connect does not open or close?

The plug-in system is probably dirty. Remove the clip, clean it thoroughly, then reassemble.

How to optimize the pump flow rate?

For maximum flow, use a short hose with large diameter, reduce the delivery head, and minimize pressure losses due to accessories.

Installation

Installing the hose

Note

The pumping capacity is further increased the shorter the hose is and the greater the hose diameter is.

The pipe union is enclosed unmounted with the device.

1. Slide the hose clamp onto the hose.

Illustration B

1. When using a hose with a diameter of 34 " or 1":

a Screw the pump connecting piece (see chapter Accessories and spare parts) onto the pipe union.
b Shorten the pump connecting piece using the grooves, according to the selected hose diameter.
The flow volume is increased.

c Slide the hose onto the pump connecting piece.

1. When using a hose with a diameter of 114 ", slide the hose onto the pipe union.

2. Fasten the hose on the pipe union using the hose clamp.

Initial startup

△CAUTION

Improper transportation

Risk of injury and damage

Do not carry the pump using the cable or hose.

1. Plug the pipe union into Quick-Connect. The hose is connected up.

2. Lock in place the float switch at the height adjustment.

Illustration C

1. Position the pump in the feed fluid:

2. Fasten a rope to the carrying handle and immerse the pump.

3. Set down the pump horizontally on firm ground. If the ground is muddy, use a brick or something similar for stabilising.

4. Ensure that the suction area is not blocked.

Operation

Automatic venting

If the fluid level is low, any sucked-in air, or air present in the pump, may escape via the automatic venting device. Fluid can also leak along with air.

Illustration D

Setting the filter basket

The filter basket can be operated in 2 positions.

Illustration E

	Waste water and clear water deliveryWe would recommend this filter basket position at the start of the pumping process, since on this occasion the pumping capacity is at its greatest.
	Flat vacuumingIn this filter basket position, flat vacuuming is possible up to 1 mm residual fluid height in manual mode.

1. Put the pump on the ground.

2. Clamp the pump between your feet and take hold of the carrying handle.

3. Unlatch the filter basket by turning the handle clockwise.
4. Move the filter basket into the required position.
5. Lock the filter basket in place by turning the handle anticlockwise.

Automatic mode

In automatic mode, the float switch controls the pumping process automatically.

The pump switches on as soon as the float switch reaches the switch-on height caused by the rising fluid level.

The pump switches off as soon as the float switch reaches the switch-off height caused by the sinking fluid level.

The float switch must be able to move freely.

Note

The switching heights vary depending on:

• Position of the float switch
• Cable length between the float switch and lock.

The cable length must be at least

2.5 cm. We would recommend retaining the set cable length.

For information on the switching heights, see chapter Technical data.

1. Set the float switch using the height adjustment, and the cable length between the float switch and the lock.

Note

When the pump is operated unattended, always set the float switch to the uppermost position in order to ensure that the pump can switch off reliably.

Illustration F

When the float switch is set to the lowermost position, set the cable length between the float switch and the lock to 2.5 cm, see marking on the cable.

Illustration G

1. Move the filter basket into the "waste water and clear water delivery" position.
2. Plug the mains plug into the socket.

Manual operation

In manual operation, the pump stays switched on.

The residual fluid height (see chapter Technical data) can only be reached in manual operation.

ATTENTION

Damaging the pump due to dry running Increased wear and tear

Do not leave the pump unattended in manual operation.

Switch off the pump for dry running.

1. Fasten the float switch in the lock, with the nose pointing upwards.

Illustration H

1. Move the filter basket into the required position, depending on the fluid level (for the minimum fluid height and residual fluid height, see chapter Technical data).

2. Plug the mains plug into the socket.

Optimising the flow rate

The flow rate is further increased:

● The lower the delivery height is
● The greater the diameter of the hose used is
● The shorter the hose used is
● The smaller the pressure loss caused by the connected up accessories

Ending operation

1. Remove any dirt from the device.

2. Pump clear water.

3. Rinse out the pump.

4. Press the button for Quick-Connect and remove the pipe union.

Illustration I

The hose is removed.

1. Where necessary, remove residue from the hose and on Quick-Connect.
2. Pull the mains plug out of the socket.
