pressure on the equipment.
•
The intake valve should be low enough in the
water to ensure that if the water level falls, the
unit will not run dry.
•
A leaking intake line will draw in air and there-
fore not draw in any water.
•
Prevent the intake of foreign bodies (sand,
etc.). If necessary, install a coarse filter for
this purpose.
5.2 Connecting the discharge line
•
The discharge line (min. 19 mm (¾")) must
be connected to the 33.3 mm (R1IG) female
thread discharge line connector of the equip-
ment either directly or with the aid of a threa-
ded nipple.
•
With the right couplings it is also possible, of
course, to use a 13 mm (½ ") delivery hose.
The smaller delivery hose results in a lower
delivery rate.
•
During the priming operation, fully open any
shut-off mechanisms (spray nozzles, valves,
etc.) in the pressure line so that the air can
escape without obstruction.
5.3 Electrical connections
•
Connect the appliance to a 220-240 V ~ 50
Hz socket-outlet with earthing contact. Mini-
mum fuse 10 ampere.
•
A built-in thermostat protects the motor from
overloading and blocking. The pump is swit-
ched off automatically by the thermostat if
overheating occurs and is switched on again
automatically after cooling.
6. Operation
6.1 Using for the fi rst time
•
Install the equipment on a solid and level
surface.
•
Remove the ventilation screw (6).
•
Unscrew the coarse filter screw (4) using the
supplied wrench (10) and remove the coarse
filter (12) together with the non-return valve
(13) as shown in Figure 3. Now you can fill the
pump housing with water via the coarse filter
screw (4). Filling the intake line accelerates
the intake process.
•
Assemble in reverse order.
•
Open the discharge line.
•
Connect the mains cable.
•
Switch on the equipment with the power
switch (9) - water can be suctioned in for up

GB
to 5 minutes (maximum suction height).
•
After finishing the work, switch off the equip-
ment with the power switch (9).
6.2 Intake pressure gauge
If the pump has been started up correctly, it will
pump water and the indicator on the intake pres-
sure gauge in the coarse fi lter screw (4) will rise
to the applicable suction height. During operation
the current suction height can be read off the in-
take pressure gauge (4). (Figure 4).
If the pump fails to pump any water when a pri-
ming attempt is made and the value on the intake
pressure gauge stagnates or stays at 0 m, this
means that there is a problem on the intake side.
Check all connections and the suction hose for
possible leaks. Filling the pump with water can
help the priming attempt. As a basic principle, we
recommend the use of a suction set with suction
hose, intake cage and non-return valve.
7. Replacing the power cable
Danger!
If the power cable for this equipment is damaged,
it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its
after-sales service or similarly trained personnel
to avoid danger.
8. Cleaning, maintenance and
ordering of spare parts
The equipment is almost completely maintenance
free. In order to ensure a long service life, howe-
ver, we recommend that you regularly check and
care for the product.
Danger!
The equipment must be disconnected from the
power supply (pull the power plug) prior to perfor-
ming any maintenance.
8.1 Servicing
•
If the equipment becomes clogged, connect
the discharge line to the water line and dis-
connect the suction hose. Open the water
line. Switch on the equipment several times
for approx. two seconds. This should resolve
the majority of clog-related problems.
•
There are no parts inside the equipment
which require additional maintenance.
