Submersible dirty water pumps from T.I.P. are highly efficient electrical pumps for discharging clear or dirty water containing solids up to the maximum size specified in the technical details. These high-quality products with their convincing performance data were developed for the multiple purposes involved with draining and pumping liquids from one place to another. The typical ranges of application of submersible clean water pumps include: draining of ponds, basins and storage containers as well as discharging of rain water or seepage. Submersible clean water pumps from T.I.P. are suitable for stationary or temporary installations. The pump is not suitable for use in table-top fountains, aquariums or similar ranges of use. This product was developed for private use, i.e. not for industrial applications or for continuous operation. When using the unit in a pond, please take the required action to ensure that no inhabitants of the pond will be sucked in.

The device is not suitable for use in swimming pools or for the supply of drinking water.

The pump is not suited to discharge saltwater, faeces, inflammable, etching, explosive or other hazardous liquids. Please observe the max. temperature of the liquids to be discharged stated in the technical data.

Inside the pump, lubricants are used which may contaminate the liquids being discharged in case of any improper operation or damage of the device. The lubricants used are biologically degradable and non-hazardous to health.

4. Scope of delivery

The scope of the delivery of this product includes: One pump with connection cable, one lowering rope, one multi-dimensional connection port, one operating manual. Please verify that the scope of delivery is complete. Depending on the purpose of the application, additional accessories may be necessary (please refer to the chapters titled "Installation" and “How to order spare parts“). If possible, keep the packing until the warranty period has expired. Please dispose of the packing materials in an environmental-friendly manner.

During the entire process of installation, the device must not be connected to the electrical mains.

The pump and the entire connection system have to be protected from frost.

All connection lines have to be perfectly tight since leaking lines may affect the performance of the pump and cause considerable damage. If required, please use a suitable sealant to make the installation airtight. When tightening threaded connections, please do not apply excessive force which may cause damage. When laying the connection pipes, you should make sure that the pump is not exposed to any form of weight, vibration or tension. Moreover, the connection lines must not contain any kinks or an adverse slope. 5.2. Installation of the pressure line The pressure line will convey the liquid from the pump to the point of withdrawal. To avoid friction losses, please use a possibly large pressure line - ideally, its diameter should match that of the pump outlet. To facilitate installation, the scope of delivery includes a multi-dimensional connection port (10) offering the following connection options: male thread connector 41.91 mm (1 ¼ "), hose connector with 25 and 32 mm internal diameter. When using the male thread connector 41.91 mm (1 ¼ "), the multi-dimensional connection port is to be used without modification. If you are using the hose connector with 25 mm or 32 mm internal diameter, those parts of the multi-dimensional connection port that are no longer needed are to be removed at the (a or b) cutting points provided. To remove the unnecessary parts, please use a household saw. Subsequently, please fasten the screw thread to the pressure port of the pump. When doing so, please note that the inner face of the screw thread is subdivided. The end with the longer thread is to be screwed to the pressure port. 5.3. Stationary installation If the unit is used in a stationary installation, rigid pipes have proven to be the ideal choice for the pressure lines. With this type of installation, the pressure line should be equipped with a check valve immediately downstream the pump outlet to prevent liquid flowing back into the pump after it has cut out. To facilitate maintenance work, we also recommend the installation of a stop cock valve downstream of the pump and check valve. This arrangement is beneficial in that closing the stop cock will prevent the pressure line from running dry after the disassembly of the pump. 5.4. How to position the pump When positioning the pump, please make sure that the max. submersion depth indicated in the technical data will not be exceeded. Likewise, please make sure that the minimum self-priming level is not fallen short of. If everything is properly set, the water level may decrease down to the minimum suction level once the pump is operating. Please position the pump on solid ground. Avoid placing it on lose stones or sand. When positioning the pump, please do make sure that the pump cannot tip over or sink into the ground with its intake openings. The penetration of sand, mud or comparable matters is to be avoided. To position, lift up or carry the pump, please use only the carrying handle. If required for lowering or raising the pump, you may connect a suitable lowering rope to the carrying handle. In no case must the pressure hose, the mains cable or the cable of the floating switch be used to position, to lift up or to carry the pump.

6. Electrical connection

The unit is equipped with a mains connection cable and a mains plug. It must only be replaced by qualified staff to avoid any danger. Please do not use the mains connection cable to carry the pump, and do not use this cable to pull off the plug from the socket, either. Protect the mains connection cable and mains plug from heat, oil or sharp edges.

The values stated in the technical details have to correspond to the mains voltage. The person responsible for the installation has to make sure that the electrical connection is earthed in compliance with the applicable standards.

The electrical connection has to be equipped with a highly sensitive residual current circuit- breaker (FI switch): ∆ = 30 mA (DIN VDE 0100-739).

If extension cables are used, their cross-section must not be smaller than that of rubber- sheathed cables of the H05RN-F (3 x 1,0 mm²) short code. The mains socket and the plug- and-socket elements have to be in splashwater-proof design.

7. Putting into operation

Nobody must be in the water while the pump is running.

The pump must only be operated in the performance range indicated on the type plate.

Dry-running - i.e. operating the pump without discharging water - is to be avoided since the absence of water may cause the pump to run hot. This may cause considerable damage on the device.

Please make sure that the electrical plug connections are in the flood-proof area.

As long as the device is connected to the electrical mains, one must never reach with one’s hands into the opening of the pump.

Please inspect the pump visually prior to each use. This applies in particular to the mains connection line and the mains plug. Make sure that all screws are firmly tightened, and verify the perfect condition of all connections. A damaged pump must not be used. In any case of damage, the pump has to be inspected by qualified service staff. Each time the pump is put into operation, please make sure that the pump is set up securely and firmly standing. The pump can be operated optionally in automatic or manual operation. However, pumping the liquid down to the minimum intake level as indicated in the technical data is only possible with manual operation. With automatic operation, the lowest attainable residual water level corresponds to the cut-out level specified in the technical data. 7.1. Automatic operation

Especially in automatic operation, pleased take care that the pump is positioned vertically so as to ensure the free motion of the integrated float switch. Please assure yourself that the pump will cut out as the water level decreases and reaches the cut-out level.

The pump is equipped with an integrated float switch which will cause the unit to cut in or cut out as a function of the water level. If the water level reaches or drops below the cut-out level, the pump will cut out. If the water level reaches or raises above the starting level, the pump will cut in. The cut-in and cut-out levels are indicated in the technical data and cannot be altered. For automatic operation, please set the lever on the pump to the “Auto” position. To put the unit into operation, please plug the mains plugs into a 230V AC socket. If the water level has reached or exceeded the cut-in level, the pump will start to run immediately. To stop the operation of the pump, please pull the mains plug off the socket. 7.2. Manual operation In manual operation, the integrated float switch is deactivated. This means that the pump will run permanently as long as it is connected to the electrical mains. This increases the risk of dry running which may cause severe

damage to the unit as a result of overheating. So please do make sure that the pump is only operating as long as there is enough liquid left to be discharged by it. For manual operation, please set the lever on the pump to the “Manual” position. To start the pump, please insert the mains plug in a 230 V AC socket. The pump will cut in immediately. To stop the operation of the pump, please pull the mains plug off the socket.

7.3. Thermal motor protection The electrical pumps of the T.I.P. I-Compac series are equipped with an integrated thermal motor protection feature. In the case of overload, the motor will switch off independently and on again after cooling down. For possible causes and their elimination, please refer to the “Maintenance and troubleshooting” section.

8. Maintenance and troubleshooting

Prior to carrying out any maintenance work, the pump must be separated from the electrical mains. If you fail to separate the unit from mains, there is a risk of an inadvertent start of the pump.

We decline any liability for damage caused by inappropriate repair attempts. Any damage caused by inappropriate repair attempts will avoid all warranty claims.

Observing the conditions of use and the ranges of application of the present device will reduce the risk of possible operational malfunction and contribute to extend the lifetime of your unit. Sand and other abrasive matters contained in the liquid discharged will speed up the process of wearing and tearing and accelerate the drop in performance. If the unit is operated properly, it will not require any maintenance. To remove stubborn contamination or to clean the float, the pump pedestal (8) can be removed by loosening the screws (9) located at the bottom of the pump. Subsequently, you can clean the pump wheel (3) and the pump wheel chamber (4). To clean the float (2), please hold the guiding rod (12) firmly, then remove the rubber lock (13). You can then remove the float and clean it together with the float chamber (11). After cleaning, please reattached the float to the guiding rod. Please note that the conically tapered end of the float has to point upwards, i.e. towards the top of the pump. Fasten the rubber lock again. Then reattach the pump pedestal and ensure the proper position of the O-ring (15). To clean the float switch, remove the lateral black cover located from the float chamber. To do this, proceed as described below: FIG I FIG II FIG III FIG IV FIG V

Turn the pump over and use a screwdriver to press on point A. Fold out the float chamber cover. After the cover has been removed, remove the float guide bar with the integrated magnet that operates the float. Clean the guide bar and the magnet support and free them of any dirt or sediment. Reinsert the float unit correctly inside the pump. Put the float chamber cover back on the pump according to the drawing shown above. Make sure that the selection lever for automatic or manual operation functions perfectly.

To avoid any hazard, any further disassembly as well as the replacement of parts must only be done by the manufacturer or a by an authorised service provider. Water left in the pump may freeze in case of frost and thus cause considerable damage. Therefore, the pump must be removed from the liquid being discharged and fully drained when temperatures are below the freezing point of the liquid. Please store the pump in a dry, frost-protected place. In the case of malfunction, you should first of all check whether it was caused by an operating error or some other reason which cannot be attributed to a defect of the device - for instance a power failure. The list below shows some possible malfunctions of the device, possible causes and tips on their elimination. All the measures referred to may only be carried out with the pump being separated from the electrical mains. If you yourself feel unable to eliminate any of these malfunctions, please contact the customer service department or your point of sales. Any repair beyond the scope specified below must only be performed by qualified staff. Please bear in mind that all warranty claims will become void in the case of damage caused by inappropriate repair attempts, and that we decline any liability for any ensuing damage.
