Measurement of maximum output
data takes place during direct,
straight pumping. The angle adapt-
er ( 15) and the backflow stop-
per ( 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 recom-
mended for hose connections smaller than
1“. Please bear in mind that the water 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 suction
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.
The more suspended matter there is, the
higher the suction level should be.
This will prevent the water inlets on the
rotary disc ( 8) from clogging up too
quickly
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 au-
tomatic mode (see “Operation”).
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).

Note that, over time, dirt and sand
may collect on the bottom of the
shaft, which could damage the
pump. If the water level is too low,
the silt in the shaft can quickly dry
out and impede the pump when
warming up.
