No. Component 1 Handle 2 Connection cable 3 Float switch cable 4 Pump housing 5 Combination adapter 6 Connection elbow 7 Suction slots 8 Float switch

The pump draws the conveying medium directly through the suction slot and feeds it to the pump outlet. It is switched on and off using a float switch.

2.3 Thermal protection

The pump is fitted with a thermal protection switch which switches the motor off in the event of overheating. After a cooling-down phase of ap- prox. 15 - 20 minutes the pump switches on again automatically. Operate the pump only if it is fully immersed.

The pump is intended for private use in house and garden. It must only be operated within the scope of its usage limitations in accordance with the technical data. The pump is suitable for:

Water removal in the event of a flood

Re-pumping and pumping out from vessels (e.g. swimming pools)

Water removal from streams and shafts

Water removal from drains and trickle shafts.

Only applies to the TS 400 ECO pump469927_a 17 Safety instructions The pump is suited exclusively for the conveying of the following fluids:

Clear water, rainwater

Water containing chlorine (e.g. swimming pools)

Dirty water having a max. 5% suspended matter proportion and a grain size of max. 30 mm diameter.

Only applies to the TS 400 ECO pump Any use not in accordance with this designated use shall be regarded as misuse.

The pump must not be used in continuous opera- tion. It is not suitable for conveying:

Aggressive media, chemicals

Fluids that are hotter than 35 °C

Water containing sand and abrasive fluids.

Only applies to the TK 250 ECO pump 3 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING! Risk of injury Defective and disabled safety and protective devices can lead to seri- ous injury.

Have any defective safety and protective devices repaired.

Never disable safety and protective devices.

Never lift, transport or affix the pump by the connection cable.

Unauthorised modifications or conversions to the pump are prohibited.

Only use the pump and exten- sion cable if they are in flaw- less technical condition. Dam- aged pumps must not be op- erated.GB

This pump can be used by children of 8 years and older and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or those lacking experience and knowledge, if they are supervised or have been instructed with regard to the safe use of the pump and the ensuing risks. Children may not play with the pump. Cleaning and maintenance must not be carried out by children without supervision.

People with very strong and complex restrictions may have needs that exceed the instruc- tions described here.

Maintain a safe distance to persons or animals or switch off the pump if animals ap- proach.

3.1 Electrical safety

DANGER! Danger from contact with live parts! A defect in the pump or the extension cable can result in serious injury!

Disconnect the con- nector plug from the mains immediately.

Connect the device via an earth leakage circuit breaker with a rated leakage current of < 30 mA.

The pump may not be oper- ated while people are in the pool or pond.

The mains voltage at your loc- ation must comply with the in- formation regarding mains voltage in the Technical Data. Do not use any other supply voltage.

The pump must only be oper- ated on electrical equipment in accordance with DIN/VDE 0100, parts 737, 738 and 702. For fuse protection, a line cir- cuit breaker of 10 A and an earth leakage circuit breaker with a rated leakage current of 10/30 mA must be installed.469927_a 19 Installation

Only use extension leads ap- proved for outdoor use with a minimum cross-section of 1.5mm

. Always fully unwind cable drums.

Damaged or fragile extension cables may not be used.

Check the condition of you extension cable prior to every use. 4 INSTALLATION

4.1 Mounting the pressure line (1)

1. Screw the connecting bracket (6) onto the

2. Screw the combination nipple (5) into the

3. Attach the hose to the combination nipple.

NOTE The combination nipple can be trimmed to suit the selected hose connection. Use the largest possible hose diameter. 5 START-UP

IMPORTANT! Flood hazard! In case of pump faults, wa- ter can leak out and cause consequential damage due to flooding.

By taking suitable measures, ensure that consequential damage caused by flooding is prevented in case of pump malfunctions.

Operate the pump hanging from a cable or ensure the se- cure mounting of the pump.

Operate the pump only if it is fully immersed.

Make sure there is adequate ground clearance under the pump.

Never allow the pump to run with a pressure line closed.

When using in shafts, make sure the size is adequate.

Always cover the shaft with a secure foot-plate.GB

6.1 Switching the pump on (2)

IMPORTANT! Danger of damage to the device The pump must not draw in any solids. Sand and other abrasive materials in the conveying medium will destroy the pump.

Ensure that no solids get into the conveying medium. NOTE If the pump is placed on muddy, sandy or stony ground, use a suitable plate to ensure secure mounting.

1. Completely uncoil the mains connection

2. Make sure that the electrical plug connector

is attached in an area safe from flooding.

3. Change the terminal position and individually

on the pump housing. The recommended cable length of the float switch is approx. 120 mm.

5. Slowly immerse the pump into the conveying

medium. Hold the pump at a slight angle to allow any trapped air to escape.

6. Insert the mains power plug into the power

The immersion pump switches on automatic- ally using the float switch when a specific wa- ter level has been reached, and switches off again if the water drops below the switch-off height.

6.2 Switching the pump off

1. Remove the mains plug from the plug socket.

6.3 Pumping out to residual water level

IMPORTANT! Danger of damage to the device When pumping out, there is the danger that the pump will run dry and damage the device.

Monitor the pump con- tinuously when pumping out to the residual water level and avoid the pump running dry.

Take the pump out of service when the resid- ual water level is reached by pulling out the mains plug. The float switch must be operated manually to pump to the residual water level:

1. Remove the mains plug from the plug socket.

2. Place the float switch upwards and fasten it.

3. Insert the mains power plug into the power

socket. The pump switches on and starts to feed. NOTE If the water drops below the residual wa- ter level, the pump will draw air in. In this case, the pump must be vented when the water level rises and before using it again.469927_a 21 Maintenance and care

7 MAINTENANCE AND CARE

7.1 Cleaning the pump

NOTE After conveying chlorinated swimming pool water or fluids which leave a residue, the pump must be flushed out with clear water.

1. Clean the suction slots on the suction foot

with clear water if necessary. 8 STORAGE NOTE If there is the danger of frost, the system must be completely drained and the pump must be stored in a frost-proof place. 9 DISPOSAL Electrical and electronic appliances do not belong in household waste, but should be collected and disposed of separately. The packaging, device and accessories are made of recyclable materials, and must be dis- posed of accordingly.

10 HELP IN CASE OF MALFUNCTION

Clean with a suitable tool through the opening on the back of the mo- tor housing. Thermal pro- tection switch has switched off. Wait until the thermal protec- tion switch on the pump switches on again. Take note of the max- imum temperat- ure of the con- veying medium. Have the pump inspected. No mains power. Check fuses, have the power supply checked by a qualified electrician. Float switch does not switch off when the wa- ter level rises. Send the pump to an AL-KO service facility. Pump run- ning but does not feed. Air in pump housing. Vent the pump by holding it at an angle. Blockage on the suction side. Remove dirt from the suction area. Pressure line closed off. Open the pres- sure lone. Pressure hose kinked. Extend the pres- sure hose.GB
