adapter (11) (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 erect / suspend
The pump can be erected or sus-
pended in the water.
The cord ( 12) contained in the
delivery contents may be used to
suspend and/or extract the pump.
The pump shaft should have the dimen-
sions 40 x 40 x 50cm at least, so that the
float switch can move freely.
Fix the nylon rope (12) onto the car-
rying handle (1).
Ensure that the equipment is
not hung up or held by the
mains cable. There is a risk
of electric shock from dam-
aged mains cables.
Note that, over time, dirt and sand
may collect on the bottom of the
shaft, which could damage the
pump.
We recommend standing the pump
on a brick.
If the water level is too low, the silt in
the shaft can quickly dry out and im-
pede the pump when warming up.
Controls before operational
start-up
• Check that the float switch is
working (see chapter: “Opera-
tion“).
• Check that the pump is resting
on the pit base
• Check that the pressure line has
been attached properly
• Check the proper status of the
electrical plug socket and make
sure that the plug socket is suf-
ficiently fused (at least 6 A). In-
sert the pump plug into the plug
socket and the pump is ready for
operation.
• Make sure that moisture or water
never come in contact with the
mains connection.There is a risk
of electrocution.
Operation
Mains connection
The submersible water pump acquired by
you is already provided with an grounded
plug. The equipment is designed for con-
nection to an earthed wall socket with a
residual current operated device (RCD
switch) at 230 V ~ 50Hz.
Only start to operate the device
after all the above conditions have
been observed.
Switching on and off
1. Insert the plug in the socket. The pump
starts working immediately.
2. To switch off, withdraw the plug from
the socket. The pump stops.
If the water level is too low, the
float switch will automatically
switch off the pump.
