Initial startup DANGER Risk of electric shock and risk of injury! 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 pump capacity. To avoid clogging the pump, use a pre-filter for hose di- ameters smaller than 1 ¼″. The pump connection is equipped with a plug-in system (Quick-Connect). The pipe union with pump connecting piece G 1 ½ and the G 1 threaded connection are supplied unassembled 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 G 1 ½ must be shortened according to the grooves so that the required particle size can be used. A large hose diameter is also recom- mended for smaller particle sizes to allow a high flow volume. Connect hose to pump if using a 1″, 1 ¼″ or 1 ½″ hose: 1 Screw the pump connecting piece G 1 ½ onto the pipe union. Illustration B 2 Push the hose clamp onto the hose. 3 Push the hose onto the pump connecting piece G 1 ½ and fasten it with a hose clamp. 4 Push the pipe union into the Quick-Connect.

Note The suction area must not be blocked by contamination. If the ground is muddy, place the pump on a brick or something similar. Make sure that the pump is horizon- tal. 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. 12

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 E Automatic mode

1. If necessary, fold out the feet, see chapter Initial

startup (SP 9,000 Flat). Note Folding out the feet is not absolutely necessary, but it does increase the pump capacity.

2. Plug the mains plug into a mains socket.

Note In automatic mode, the float switch controls the pump- ing process automatically. The pump switches on as soon as the float switch has reached the switch-on height caused by the rising fluid level. The pump switches off as soon as the float switch has reached the switch-off height caused by the sinking fluid level. The float switch must be able to move freely. Illustration F

• The switching heights vary depending on the posi- tion of the float switch. Manual operation Note In manual operation, the pump stays switched on con- tinuously. For the pump to suction itself in manual mode, the fluid level must be at least 60 mm (SP 9,500 Dirt and SP 11,000 Dirt) or 7 mm (SP 9,000 Flat). Min / Max SP 9,000 Flat SP 9,500 Dirt SP 11,000 Dirt Switch-on height cm* 36 / 44 43 / 50 43 / 50 Switch-off height cm* 15 / 24 18 / 30 18 / 30English 11 Note The pump can pump up to a residual fluid height of 25 mm (SP 9,500 Dirt and SP 11,000 Dirt) or 1 mm (SP 9,000 Flat). The specified residual fluid heights are only achieved in manual operation. The float switch must be able to move freely.

1. Fold in the feet, see chapter Initial startup (SP 9,000

Flat). Note By folding in the feet, flat suction of the fluid up to 1 mm residual fluid height is possible in manual operation.
