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
impede the pump when warming
up.
Mains Connection
The pump you have purchases is already
fitted with an earthed plug. The equipment
is designed for connection to an earthed
wall socket with a residual current operat-
ed device (RCD switch) at 230 V ~ 50Hz.
Connecting the Pressure Line
The pump is installed
- Either with a fixed pipeline
- Or with a flexible hose line.
1. Screw the bracket adapter (10)
onto the pump outlet (3).
2. Fit the hose over the reducer (9)
and secure it with a hose clamp.
Or use a screw connection at
the bracket adapter (10) or the
reducer (9).
Outlet with a 1½” internal thread on
the pump for connection of the angle
adapter (10) or for direct connection
of a hose with a 1½” external thread;
Outlet with 1½“ external thread at the
bracket adapter (10) for connection of
the reducer (9) or a 1½“ screw con-
nection;
Outlet on reducer (9) for connection of
a 1¼” or 1½” hose as a compression
joint (fixing with a hose clamp);
Outlet with 1“ external thread at the re-
ducer (9) for connection of a 1“ screw
connection;
Outlet with 1½“ thread at the reducer
(9) for connection of a 1“hose as
clamp connection (fixing with a hose
clamp).
Note that the particle size may
be max. 19 mm if the reducer
(Ø 19.3 mm) is used, otherwise
the reducer and hose can become
blocked.
Adjustment of the float
switch
The float switch (
7) is adjusted so that
it can be started up immediately.
In the case of stationary installation, check
regularly (no less then once every three
months) that the float switch is working.
The ON and OFF switching point of the
float switch can be adjusted by changing
the position of the float switch in the float
switch grating. Please check the following
points before start of operation.
• The float switch must be attached so
that the switching point ON level and
the switching point OFF level can be
reached easily and with little expendi-
ture of energy. Check this by placing
the pump into a vessel filled with water
and lift the float switch carefully by
hand and then lower it again. In this
case, you can see whether the pump
switches on and off.
• Also ensure that the separation dis-
tance between the float switch head
and the float switch latching mecha-
nism (
8) is not too small. In the
case of a separation distance which is
too small, trouble-free functioning can-
