6. Operating instructions
As a basic principle, we recommend the
use of a preliminary filter and a suction set
with suction hose, intake cage 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.
7. Fitting the carry handle
Fasten the carry handle with the 2
screws supplied (see Fig. 2).
8. Mains connection
• The mains connection needs a 230 V ~
50 Hz shock-proof socket. Minimum 10-
amp fuse required. Please ensure that
the power socket is easily accessible.
• Switch on/off at the built-in switch (see
Fig. 1/Item 2).
• The motor is protected from overload
or blockage by a built-in temperature
monitor. In case of overheating the tem-
perature monitor automatically switches
the pump off. After the equipment has
cooled down, the pump will switch on
again automatically.
9. Fitting a suction pipe
• Screw the suction pipe (min. 19 mm
(3/4“) plastic pipe with spiral reinforce-
ment) approx. 33 mm onto the intake
line connection (R1 female thread) of
the pump (Fig. 1/Item 5) either directly or
with the aid of a threaded nipple.
• The suction hose should have an intake
valve. If the intake valve cannot be used
then a non-return valve should be ins-
talled in the intake line.
• Position the intake line so that it rises
from the water withdrawal point to the
pump. Avoid positioning the intake line
higher than the pump as this would
delay the escape of air bubbles from
the intake line 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 pump.
• The intake valve should be low enough
in the water to ensure that the pump will
not run dry if the water level falls.
• A leaking intake line will draw in air and
therefore not draw in any water.
• Take measures to prevent the intake of
foreign bodies (sand, etc.). If necessary
install a coarse filter.
