Flushing the pump :
Cleaning the suction
base and feed impeller :
The pump remains in constant operation because the float switch
is bypassed.
1. Push the float switch 5 onto the float switch lock 3 with the
cable downward.
2. Stand the pump on a firm surface
– or –
use a rope attached through the bore hole in the carrying
handle
2 to immerse the pump in a well or shaft.
3. Plug the power cable 1 into a mains socket.
The residual water height is only reached during manual opera-
tion since the float switch turns off the pump during automatic
operation before this water level is reached.
5. Cleaning
The pumps are virtually maintenance-free.
After having pumped chlorinated swimming pool water or other liq-
uids leaving residues, the pump should be rinsed with clear water.
