4. Scope of delivery

The scope of the delivery of this product includes: One pump with connection cable, one 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 This pump is equipped with a garden hose adapter as standard. Connect the garden hose to the pump's adapter with a quick coupling (Fig. 1) to drain the waste water from the pool. This allows the pump to be mounted and disassembled quickly and easily.

Fig. 1 To avoid flow losses, it is advisable to use a pressure line with a diameter equal to that of the pump pressure connection as a minimum. Use a flexible hose suitable for this purpose, e.g. a commercially available garden hose or similar, as a pressure line.

5.3. StatiPositioning the pump

Place the pump in the deepest part of the water on your pool cover. The pump must be installed in a horizontal position. Point the open end of the pool's garden hose away from the pool. Connect the pump to the electrical circuit (Fig.2). In addition, when positioning the pump, make sure that the maximum immersion depth specified in the technical data is not exceeded. During subsequent operation, the water level will then be reduced to the minimum suction level (Fig. 3).

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 0.75 mm²) short code. The mains socket and the plug- and-socket elements have to be in splash water-proof design.

7. Putting into operation

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. 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. The electrical pumps 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. Where applicable, you may clean the hydraulic part from sediments and dirt. This can be done by counter-flushing the unit with clear water using a hose to be connected through the pressure port of the pump. This pump is additionally equipped with a filter mat, which prevents dirt from clogging the pump chamber and possibly damaging it. The filter insert should be cleaned regularly – depending on the degree of soiling. 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.
