Check this by placing the pump
into a vessel filled with water
and lift the float switch (6) care-
fully by hand and then lower it
again. In this case, you can see
whether the pump switches on
and off.
- Also ensure that the separa-
tion distance between the float
switch (6) head and the float
switch height adjustment (5) is
not too small. In the case of a
separation distance which is too
small, trouble-free functioning
cannot be guaranteed.
- During the adjustment of the
float switch (6), ensure that the
float switch does not contact the
floor before the pump switches
off.
The pump run dry if too long a
float switch cable ( 3) is chosen,
particularly if the float switch height
adjustment ( 5) is not installed
(see „Operational start-up“).
Manual mode / flat suction
In manual mode, the pump does not
switch off automatically, as the float
switch is bypassed.
Position the float switch (6) verti-
cally upward in the float switch
height adjustment (5).
Monitor the pump constantly when
in manual mode. Switch the pump
off immediately (disconnect from
the mains) if no more water is
being pumped. There is a risk of
damage if the pump runs dry.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Clean and maintain your equipment regu-
larly. This will guarantee its performance
and long durability.
Ask our service centre to carry
out any work that is not de-
scribed in these instructions.
Use only original parts. There is
a risk of injury!
Pull out the power plug before eve-
ry maintenance operation. There
is a risk of electrocution or of injury
from moving parts.
General cleaning instructions
• In case of transport for utilization in
different locations, the pump must be
cleaned with clear water after every
use.
• In case of stationary installation, the
function of the float switch ( 6) is
to be checked regularly (at the latest
every three months).
• With a water jet, remove fluff and
fibrous particles which are possibly
present in the pump casing ( 12).
• Clean precipitation from the float
switch ( 6) with clear water.
• Regularly remove sludge from the pit
base (at the latest every 3 months)
and also clean the shaft walls
• In the case of a long period of non-
use, the pump must be thoroughly
cleaned after the last use and before
the new use, since difficulties in start-
up can arise due to precipitation and
residues.
