Before use
When preparing the device for use, take the plug out of the electrical socket!
Hose connection
Connect the hose connector to the fitting.
The hose connector goes from 25 to 32 mm (or 1"
to 1½"). If you are exclusively using a more wide
hose, you can remove the remaining piece of the
fitting with a sharp knife or saw. Attach the hose to
the appropriate part of the connector with a hose
clamp (or turn it on it). The best results of pumping
efficiency are achieved with a 32 mm hose.
Locating and moving
• Make sure the pump is positioned at a stable location, particularly if you want it to
work automatically.
• Ensure that the suction openings are not blocked (not even partially). If the pump is
positioned on a soft surface (e.g. a sand bed), place it on a tile or something similar.
• Do not use the electrical cable to lift the pump or hang it up. If you wish to locate the
pump in a water source or shaft, use a rope that is attached to the handle to do so.
• If the pump is being installed into a permanent location, with a fixed drainage system,
you are advised to install a connection point at a handy location in order to simplify
cleaning and maintenance.
• If you are using the pump temporarily, you may use a flexible hose that is connected to
the pump using a hose clamp.
Operation
The electrical cable must be at least a HO5RN-F 3x0.75mm², with a length of at least 10
metres. Any extension cable must be of the type HO5RN-F 3x1.5mm².
Before use, check that the values of the socket to which you wish to connect the pump
correspond to those on the type plate on the pump itself (230V-50Hz) and that the socket
is earthed and has an earth leakage circuit breaker (nominal voltage ≤30 mA). Make sure
that no people present in the space to be pumped out (cellar/boat/pond etc).
Ensure that electrical connections stay dry at all times.
