tion systems, cut off the three top
connections directly above the
G 1 ½ “ tube thread.
The measurement of the maximum
performance data takes place
under optimal conditions, such as
a straight, direct exit. The angle
adapter ( 11) and the backflow
stopper ( 10) may reduce output.
To increase pump output, the backflow
stopper (10) may be taken out of the angle
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 50 cm 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 placing the pump
on a brick or a grid.
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 ~ 50 Hz.
Only start to operate the device
after all the above conditions have
been observed.
