5 BEFORE START-UP, NOTE THE FOLLOWING!
 The pump can be connected to any shock-proof plug which has been
installed according to regulations. The plug must have a supply voltage of 230
V ~ 50 Hz. Fuse min. 6 Amp.
Caution!
When the pump is to be used near swimming pools or garden ponds and in their area of
protection, it must be equipped with a PRCD (residual current circuit breaker) with a nominal
trip current of max. 30 mA (according to VDE 0100, part 702 and 738). The pump must not be
operated while people are in the swimming pool or in the garden pond! Please contact your
electrician!
Attention!
(Important for your own security) Before starting to run your new submersible pump, please
have the following items checked by an expert:
 Ground connection
 Zero conductor
 Fault current breaker switch must correspond the safety regulations of the power plants
and they must work faultlessly.
 The electrical connections must be protected from moisture.
 If there is danger of flooding, the electrical connections must be taken to higher ground.
 Circulation of aggressive fluids, as well as the circulation of abrasive materials must be
avoided at all costs.
 The submersible motor-driven pump must be protected from frost.
 The pump must be protected from running dry.
 Access on the part of children should also be prevented with appropriate measures.
Consistency
Your submersible pump is designed for the circulation of water with a maximum temperature
of 35° C. This pump may not be used for other fluids, especially motor fuels, cleaning fluids,
and other chemical products!
6 INSTALLATION
The submersible pump is installed as follows:
 In a stationary position with fixed pipeline
or
 in a stationary position with a flexible hose pipe.
Please note!
You should never install the pump by suspending it unsupported from its delivery pipe or
power cable. The submersible pump must be suspended from the specially provided handle or
be placed on the bottom of the shaft. To guarantee that the pump works properly, the bottom
of the shaft must be kept free of sludge and dirt of all kinds.
If the level of water sinks too far, any sludge in the shaft will dry out quickly and stop the pump
from starting up. ,Therefore it is necessary to check the submersible motor pump regularly (by
carrying out start-up tests). The floater is adjusted in a way that the pump can immediately be
started
Note!
The pump shaft should have minimum dimensions of 40 x 40 x 50 cm, so that the floating
switch can move freely.
