1. If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its after sales service or a person with similar qualification in order to avoid any danger.

If the power cable or extension cord is damaged or cut during operation, immediately disconnect plug from its main power source. Do not touch the cable or extension cord before unplugging from main power.

1. Make sure the electrical connection is carried out according to local or national regulations. If necessary, seek advice or assistance from a qualified electrician.
2. Make sure that the power supply corresponds with the connection specifications of the device before it is connected.
3. Lay the extension cord in such a way that it cannot get into contact with the liquid being conveyed.
4. Do not install or turn on the product if there are persons or animals in the conveying medium.

(e. g. swimming pool) or making contact with the conveying medium.

1. Do not leave the device unsupervised. Unplug the mains plug during periods of extended absence.

2. As a general rule, repairs are only to be carried out by an electrician. If repairs are performed improperly, there is danger of liquid getting into the electronic components of the device.

3. Symbols affixed to the tool may not be removed or covered. Information on the product that is no longer legible must be replaced immediately. Contact your retailer to get new labels.

3.3- Safety prescriptions

1. The supply voltage should correspond to that given on the description label (230 V-50Hz).
   Do not use any other type of power supply.
2. The pump should be supplied by a circuit containing a residual current device (circuit breaker, RCD) with a sensitivity not exceeding 30 mA.
   Consult with a qualified electrician.
3. The supply cable should be checked periodically and before each use to see if there are any signs of ageing or damage.
   If the pump is not in good condition, do not use it. Have it repaired by an authorized centre.
4. If an extension is used, ensure that it is officially approved. Keep it well away from sharp edges, heat sources and combustibles.
5. The plug-in connector for the extension should be of the 2-pole + earth type of 10-16A/250V, in accordance with EEC standards. The wire section in the cable should be equal to or greater than 1mm. The cable should not be lighter than cables of HO7 RN-F.
6. When disconnecting the power cable from the socket, always grip the plug itself and not the cable.
7. These pumps can be used in swimming pools, garden ponds (e.g. ponds and / or garden pond, fountains ...).

If the pump is used for emptying a swimming pool or pond, it should not be used when people or animals are in the water.

Similarly, to avoid accidents during pump operation, it is strictly forbidden to bathe, to swim, to wash, or to water animals near the pump.

Ensure to remove the pump before allowing people and / or animals to enter the water.

1. When the pump is immersed, handling should not be carried out using the power cable, but using a device (for ex. a rope) connected to the carrying handle.
2. Do not use power cable or float switch cable for carrying or hanging up the pump.

IV. GETTING STARTED

Before any intervention on product, ensure that product is disconnected from its power source.

4.1- Unpacking

• Remove product from its packaging.
• Check that product and accessories are not damage

4.2- Electrical connection

Connect the pump to a socket of 2 pole + earth type of 10-16A/250V, fitted with residual current device (RCD) or circuit breaker with a sensitivity not exceeding 30 mA.

4.3- Connecting the evacuation hose

1. Ensure the connector (1) is tightly screwed onto the ring flange of pump outlet.
2. Wedge the discharge hose (not included) onto the connector.
3. Add a fixing collar (hose clamp not supplied) to complete the seal.

4.4- Pump set-up

1. If the pump is installed in an enclosed area with emission of noxious fumes (eg septic tank, tank, pit sump ...), the installation must be carried out in compliance with local and/or national laws by qualified personnel so as to avoid danger.
2. The pump must be in a vertical position over 0.5m from the water bottom (ensure that it is stable during operation).
3. Ensure that the float switch can move freely.
4. The suction holes must never be obstructed (e.g. avoid clogging by weed or other matter).
   It is therefore preferable that the pump should never be placed directly on the ground or on the bottom of the well, pond or vessel.
   For example, place the pump on a brick.

4.5- Application of the floating switch

1. The float switch (2) enables the automatic start of the pump. The pump starts when the centre line of the floating switch and water level angle is more than 28^ . The pump will stop automatically when the centre line of the floating switch and water level angle is less than 28^ .

4.6- Start-up

Before starting the pump, check:

• the direction of motor rotation: trial-run the pump for no more than 1 minute to check the motor rotates clockwise (when looking at pump from above);
• that electrical connection is correctly setup;
• that the electrical cable and drain hose are properly laid to avoid accidents;
• that check valves (if fitted) are opened

V. OPERATION

5.1- Intended use

1. This submersible pump can be used for domestic, industrial or farming applications, for pumping sewage water, dirty water, mud, or drain water with particles in suspension that are less than 35mm (for 750W) or 45mm (for 1500W) in diameter.
   Caution! Do not permanently leave the pump in a septic tank. Once the tank is drained, remove pump from the tank, proceed with its cleaning and storage.
2. The pump is fully submersible: the immersion depth must not exceed 5m (refer to characteristics table).
3. The pump should not be used for sucking up liquids or materials that are corrosive, combustible/flammable or explosive.
4. The temperature of liquids sucked up should not exceed 35°C (750W) or 40°C (1500W).
5. Any other use, other than that described in the instructions, is likely to damage the pump and to put the user in serious danger.

5.2- Operation

5.2.1- In automatic functioning mode,

Connect pump to mains power.

The pump will start and stop as soon as the float switch reaches the pre-set angle (see 4.5)

5.2.2- In manual functioning mode,

Connect pump to mains power

Set the float switch at proper angle to start or stop the pump (see 4.5).

In this case, the minimum pumping water height may be reduced.

5.2.3- Warning!

Never operate the pump without water.

Check the water level frequently while in operation, to see whether it is lowering and the pump shall not be out of water while running.

The submersible pump must be immersed before switching on.

5.3- Advise for users

1. if discharge stops although the pump continues to function, switch it off immediately.

Unplug the pump from the mains and check to see what is causing the problem.

Never attempt to remove the turbine when the pump is still connected to the power supply.

1. Never place hands anywhere near the turbine during this phase. If remedial action is necessary, always unplug the pump from the power supply first.

VI. MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
