5. Before starting the equipment

Before you connect the equipment to the mains supply make sure that the data on the rating plate are identical to the mains data.

Warning!

Always pull the power plug before making adjustments to the equipment.

As a basic principle, we recommend the use of a preliminary filter and a suction set with suction hose, suction strainer and non-return valve, in order to prevent long priming periods and unnecessary damage to the pump as a result of stones and solid foreign bodies.

5.1 Connecting the intake line

• Fasten the suction hose (at least approx. 19 mm ( 3/4" ) plastic hose with spiral reinforcement) to the suction connection (approx. 42 mm / R1 14 male thread) of the equipment either directly or via a threaded nipple.
• Use the connection adapter (8) to reduce the thread of the suction connection to approx. 33.3 mm (R1 male thread).
• The suction hose used should be equipped with an intake valve. If the intake valve cannot be used, a non-return valve should be installed in the intake line.
• Position the intake line so that it rises from the water withdrawal point to the equipment. Avoid positioning the suction pipe higher than the pump, as this would delay the escape of air bubbles from the suction pipe and impede the priming process.
  • Install the intake and discharge lines in such a way that they do not exert any mechanical pressure on the equipment.
• The intake valve should be low enough in the water to ensure that if the water level falls, the equipment will not run dry.
  • A leaking intake line will draw in air and therefore not draw in any water.
• Prevent the intake of foreign bodies (sand etc.). If necessary, install a coarse filter for this purpose.

5.2 Connecting the discharge line

- The discharge line approx. 19 mm (3/4") must be connected to the approx. 33,3 (R 1IG) discharge line connector of the equipment either directly or with the aid of a threaded

nipple.

• With the right couplings it is also possible, of course, to use a approx. 13 mm (½ " ) delivery hose. The smaller delivery hose results in a lower delivery rate.
• During the priming operation, fully open any shut-off mechanisms (spray nozzles, valves, etc.) in the pressure line so that the air can escape without obstruction.

5.3 Electrical connections

• Connect the appliance to a 220-240 V \~ 50 Hz socket-outlet with earthing contact. Minimum fuse 10 ampere.
• A built-in thermostat protects the motor from overloading and blocking. The pump is switched off automatically by the thermostat if overheating occurs and is switched on again automatically after cooling.

6. Operation

• Install the equipment on a solid and level surface.
- Fill the pump housing with water via the water filler screw (3). Filling the intake line accelerates the intake process.
- All the shut-off devices in the discharge line (spray nozzle, valves etc.) must be fully opened during intake in order to permit all air to escape from the intake line.
- Connect the power cable.
- The intake process starts automatically once you press the ON/OFF switch (6). – The intake process can take up to 5 minutes for the maximum suction height.
- If the pump is removed after use, it is essential that it is filled with water again the next time it is connected and started.

After use, switch the pump back off again by pressing the ON/OFF switch again (6) and allow the pump to cool down. Then disconnect the power plug.

7. Replacing the power cable

Danger!

If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid danger.

GB

8. Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts

The equipment is almost completely maintenance free. In order to ensure a long service life, however, we recommend that you regularly check and care for the product.

Danger!

The equipment must be disconnected from the power supply (pull the power plug) prior to performing any maintenance.

8.1 Servicing

• If the equipment becomes clogged, connect the discharge line to the water line and disconnect the suction hose. Open the water line. Switch on the equipment several times for approx. two seconds. This should resolve the majority of clog-related problems.
• There are no parts inside the equipment which require additional maintenance.

8.2 Ordering replacement parts:

Please quote the following data when ordering replacement parts:

• Type of machine
• Article number of the machine
• Identification number of the machine
- Replacement part number of the part required For our latest prices and information please go to www.Einhell-Service.com

9. Disposal and recycling

The equipment is supplied in packaging to prevent it from being damaged in transit. The raw materials in this packaging can be reused or recycled. The equipment and its accessories are made of various types of material, such as metal and plastic. Never place defective equipment in your household refuse. The equipment should be taken to a suitable collection center for proper disposal. If you do not know the whereabouts of such a collection point, you should ask in your local council offices.

10. Storage

• Store the equipment and its accessories in a dark and dry place above freezing temperature. The ideal storage temperature is between 5 and 30°C. Store the equipment in its original packaging.
• If the pump is not going to be used for a long time or has to be removed for the winter months, rinse it out with water, empty it completely and allow it to dry.
• The equipment must be completely drained before it is subjected to frost.
  • After long stoppages, make sure the rotor turns correctly by briefly switching the pump on and off.

11. Troubleshooting guide

Faults Cause	Remedy
Motor fails to start up	- No mains voltage- Pump rotor blocked -thermostat switched off	- Check voltage- Dismantle and clean pump
No intake - Intake valve	- Immerse intake valve in water- Fill water into intake- Air in intake line air-tight- Intake valve leaks- Strainer (intake valve) blocked- Max. suction height exceeded	- Make sure intake line is close- Clean intake valve- Clean strainer- Check suction height
Inadequate delivery rate	- Suction height too high- Strainer dirty- Water level falling rapidly- Pump performance diminished by contaminants part	- Check suction height- Clean strainer- Immerse intake valve deeper- Clean pump and replace wearing
Thermostat switches pump off	- Motor overloaded - friction caused by foreign substances too high	- Dismantle and clean pump. Prevent intake of foreign substances (fi liter)
