The pumping of aggressive liquids (acid,
alkali, silo seepage, etc.) and liquids with
abrasive (emerizing) substances (sand) must
likewise be avoided.

6. Operating instructions
As a basic principle, we recommend the use of
a preliminary fi lter 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 so-
lid foreign bodies.
7. Fitting the carry handle
Fasten the carry handle with the 2 screws
supplied (see Fig. 2).
8. Fitting the suction hose
Fit the suction hose as illustrated in Fig. 3.
Make sure that the end of the adapter (Fig. 1/
Item 11) with the sealing ring (Fig. 1/Item 12) is
screwed into the equipment.
9. 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 blo-
ckage by a built-in temperature monitor. In
case of overheating the temperature monitor
automatically switches the pump off. After the
equipment has cooled down, the pump will
switch on again automatically.
10. Fitting a suction pipe
•
Screw a suction pipe (min. 19 mm (3/4“)
plastic pipe with spiral reinforcement) either
directly or with the aid of a threaded nipple
approx. 33 mm (R1) male thread onto the
intake line connection approx. 33 mm (R1)
female thread of the pump (Fig. 1/Item 5).
•
The suction hose should have an intake valve.
If the intake valve cannot be used then a non-
return valve should be installed 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.
