Putting into service
Installing the aluminium tubes
Before installing the aluminium
tubes and the flexible tube, check
that a sealing ring has been in-
serted in each screw socket. If not,
insert the sealing ring in the follow-
ing manner:
Inserting the sealing rings:
1. Press:
- One small sealing ring (22) into
each of the threaded sleeves
in the three aluminium tubes.
(13/14/15),
- One large sealing ring (23)
into the threaded sleeve on
the flexible tube (19).
Screwing together the alumini-
um tubes:
2. Screw together the tubes in the
following order:
- Bottom aluminium
tube (13) (without
rib),
- Middle aluminium
tube (14) (with 1 rib),
- Aluminium tube
with plastic hook
(15) (with 2 ribs) ,
- Flexible tube (19).
3. Mount the tubes onto the pump
(11) pressure connection.
Securing the mains cable:
4. Secure the mains connection ca-
ble (12) to the cable clamp (20)
on the plastic hook (21) and on
the middle aluminium tube (14).
Mounting the height adjust-
ment for the float switch:
5. Loosen the screw on the float
switch height adjustment (2) and
push this over the float switch
guide (6). Then guide the float
switch cable (4) upwards (see
also “Adjusting the float switch”).
If you want to make use of the
maximum pumping capacity of the
pump rather than the maximum
discharge height, we recommend
that you fit a ¾ “ connecting tube,
mounting it directly on the pump,
without aluminium tube or shut-off
tap. The larger cross-section of the
hose will enable a greater volume
of water to be pumped. At the same
time, the potential discharge height
will be correspondingly lower.
Submerging the pump
Ensure that the equipment is not
hung up or held by the mains
cable. There is a risk of electric
shock from damaged mains ca-
bles.
Note that over the course of time
dirt and sand which may damage
the pump will collect in the bottom
of the butt.
• Use the plastic hook ( 21) for sub-
merging or lifting out the pump or fix a
