The more suspended matter there is, the
higher the suction level should be.
This will avoid the water inlets on the ro-
tary disk ( 8) to quickly clog up.
On delivery, the pump is set to a
residual water level of 1 mm (flat
suction).
1. Hold the round handle of the
rotary disk (7) on the floor of the
base (10) and pull out the rotary
disk (8).
2. Turn the round handle (8) to the
right or to the left until it reaches
the desired clearance position
(see the arrow marking (9) on
the rotary disk).
The four suction levels are la-
belled with a height scale on the
base (10) and repeated.
The residual water level of 1 mm
(flat suction) is attained only in
manual mode, as the float switch
switches the pump off earlier in
automatic mode (see chapter: “Op-
eration”).
To erect / suspend
The pump shaft should have the dimen-
sions 40 x 40 x 50cm at least, so that the
float switch can move freely.
The pump can be erected or sus-
pended in the water.
The cord ( 17) contained in the
delivery contents may be used to
suspend and/or extract the pump.
Fix the cord (17) to the holes in the
carrying handle (2).
• If using a ½” hose, attach the
hose over the pump’s hose con-
nection (13) and fasten it with a
hose clamp if necessary.
• To use a ¾”, 1“ or 1½” hose, cut
off the connection above and
attach the hose over the correct
connection.
• To use a tap adaptor (G1“) to
connect external hose connec-
tion systems, cut off the two top
connections directly above the
G1“ tube thread.
Measurement of maximum output
data takes place during direct,
straight pumping. The angle
adapter ( 15) and the backflow
stopper
( 14) may reduce output.
To increase pump output, the backflow
stopper (14) may be taken out of the
angle adapter (15) (see “replacing
backflow stopper”). This is particularly rec-
ommended for hose connections smaller
than 1“. Please bear in mind that the wa-
ter may then flow back during pumping, or
in the event of a power cut.
To set the suction level
The pump can suck up residual water
down to a height of a few millimetres. The
residual water level can be set at 4 suc-
tion levels from 1 mm to 8 mm.
Choose the highest suction level (8 mm)
for normal operation.
Choose a suction level between 1 mm
and 5 mm for flat suction, depending on
how dirty the water is.
Flat suction down to 1 mm is recommend-
ed for clean, clear water only.
