5 SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS

• This water pump has no water-sprinkling protection feature and should be placed only in a dry environment. Never place the water pump or operate it in the rain or in a humid space.

• This water pump should not be used with flammable or harmful liquids.

• Idle operation of the water pump must be avoided.

• This water pump is for work in clean water. The scope of its application includes irrigation in the garden, water supply to a household, sprinkling in a garden or on farmland.

• This water pump may not be exposed for long periods to impurities, sand, stone, sticky substances, etc., mixed in with the conveyed media. Because the conveyed media may contain chemical corrosive substances, it is necessary to pay special attention to preventing influence by these on the material of the pump body. It is not permitted to use this water pump to convey drinking water. This appliance cannot be used by children or people who are physically, mentally or developmentally impaired, or people who lack experience or knowledge, except in case these people receive instruction from a person responsible for their safety, a supervisor, or by studying the preceding instructions concerning use of this appliance. 6 ASSEMBLY

• During the installation of the water pump, the power supply to the water pump must be switched off.

• During installation of the equipment, it is necessary to keep it under dry and well-ventilated conditions, at an ambient temperature below 40°C.

• If the required pumping water is excessive due to your own action, resulting in flooding of the irrigation site, a number of protective measures may be taken (e.g. installation of a device for discharging the excess water, an alarm, standby pump, water container, etc.). However, our company is not responsible for any losses thus caused.

• Before use, the water pump should be inspected for safety to ensure that there is no damage to the power cable or the plug.

6.1 Electrical connection

• The electrician responsible for installation must check to ensure that the electrical connection is in accordance with the standard, including the earth terminal.

• It is necessary to check the rated current of the electric contact with protective switch - this must be 30mA.

The water pump must be well earthed. Short-circuiting will render the relevant articles of the guarantee invalid. If it is necessary to increase the length of the original cable, a cable with the same section as the original cable must be used. 7 OPERATION The pumps are not self-priming pumps. This means that the suction hose should first of all be fitted with: 1 Non-return valve with filter; this ensures that, after disconnecting the pump, the hose and the pump do not run dry. This part of the hose is suspended in the water to be pumped away. 2 Hose with coupling nut; this end of the hose is attached to the front of the pump. 3 Both accessories should be securely screwed on to the hose using a hose clip.POWXG9576 EN Copyright © 2022 VARO NV P a g e | 4 www.varo.com Before fastening the hose to the pump, it is best to fill it with water first. After this you can screw the three-way cock or another 25mm (1") connector to the outlet on the pump; this is on the top of the pump. Then you should fill the pump housing with water through the build-in filter; then re-seal it. If the pump housing and the hose have both now been filled with water, you can switch on the pump using the on/off switch. The pump now immediately begins to pump water (in the case of the auto version, the pressure tank is first filled and it takes a few seconds before water comes out of the connected hose). If the pump is subsequently switched off again, water remains in the pump housing and the hose which means that when the pump is next switched on it will pump water immediately. If no non-return valve is fitted or if the seal between the valve and the hose is not working properly (hose clip!) the whole unit may run dry again and must be re-filled to get the pump to work properly.

The pressure hose is used for conveying the water from the pump to the water consumption point (e.g. tap, etc.). In order to minimize the friction loss caused by the water pressure, we recommend that you use a pressure hose with a minimum diameter of 20mm (3/4").

• When the garden pump is working, the water outlet (e.g. tap or water sprinkling outlet) must be open so as to discharge the air from the hose. If the water outlet is closed, the pump may be damaged due to overheating of the pump after working for more than 5 minutes.

• Freezing of the pump or placing it in a frosty space in the winter must be avoided.

• Sand and stones in the water taken in can rapidly wear the pump and reduce its effective capacity. It is therefore necessary to install a filter.

• This water pump is not suitable for long-term operation, e.g. in industrial or mining enterprises or for a water recycling system.

7.2 Safety requirements

• The power supply must comply with the specifications displayed on the product. Refer to the instructions of your local energy supplier if necessary for connecting conditions. If the pump or the power cable do not comply, do not connect the pump!

• Never carry the pump by the cable.

• Never remove the plug and never shorten the cable. If you do, you will invalidate your guarantee. Keep the connection (plug and socket) dry.

• The pump is not suitable for use in swimming pools and lakes or other situations where persons could come into physical contact with the water, and must therefore not be used for this purpose.

• Always disconnect the pump from the power supply when cleaning it or carrying out maintenance to the pond. This pump is suitable for pumping water with a minimum temperature of 4 °C and a maximum temperature of 35 °C.

• The pump must not run dry, as this will cause irreparable damage.

• Always disconnect the pump from the mains supply before cleaning or maintenance.

• Clean the chambers from time to time, rinsing them with clean water, to ensure they are not clogged with dirt.POWXG9576 EN Copyright © 2022 VARO NV P a g e | 5 www.varo.com

8 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Attention !Before performing any work on the equipment, pull the power plug.

Under normal conditions, the water pump is free of maintenance. However, the pump should not be placed in the open air during rain, in a humid place, or dirty or frozen environment.

• Freezing, idling or blocking by impurities should be avoided.

• Always disconnect the power supply before maintenance of the pump.

• If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by professional personnel. Damage caused by short circuiting is not included in scope of the guarantee.

• If trouble with the pump is experienced, guaranteed repairs must be carried out by an authorized maintenance center. Never use solvents such as petrol, alcohol, ammonia water, etc. These solvents may damage the plastic parts. 9 TECHNICAL DATA type POWXG9576 Mains voltage / frequency 230V~ /50Hz Rated power 1200W Max. pump capacity 3800 l/hour Max. lift 48 m Maximum suction level 7 m Max. water temperature 35°C Min. diameter of suction hose 1” (25mm) Min. diameter of pressure hose 3/4” (20mm) Cable length 1,2 m Rated pressure 0,5 mPa –5 bar Int. protection Degree IPX4 Weight 11.67Kg Suitable for Clean water Contents pressure tank 19L Material pump housing / Tank PP / Stainless steel 10 NOISE Noise emission values measured according to relevant standard.

The pump can work only when well sealed The filter screen of the non-return valve of the sucking inlet is blocked Clean the non-return of the sucking inlet and the filter screen The air can't be released from the pressure hose because the water outlet is closed When the pump starts sucking, open the water outlet (e.g. the tap. sprinkling nozzle etc.) The waiting time does not correspond to the regulations Fill the whole suction hose with water, or recheck it at least 7 minutes after the pump starts Excessive suction head (>8m) Reduce the suction head The non-return fails to suck water Check the water level of the well or the water pool. If possible, increase the length of the suction hose. The electromotor cannot run No power supplied Check the power supply The ventilator hood obscures rotation of the vane Pull out the power plug, remove the ventilator hood with a screwdriver, then reinstall it again by slightly rotating the vane and check to see if it rotates freely Fan blocked Pull out the power plug, move the shaft with the screwdriver through the ventilator hood.
