The minimum dimensions of the tank to be
drained should be such that the float can
move freely in the pumped liquid without
coming into contact with the tank walls.
If there is sand or stones at the bottom of
the tank being drained which could
damage the impeller, the pump must be
suspended on a rope at least 0.3 m above
the bottom to prevent sand or stones from
being sucked in.
Water flows out of the pump via the discharge connection. A discharge hose must be fitted to
the discharge connection. It must be secured to the connection with a clamp (steel band).
When selecting a discharge hose, bear in mind that the pump's final flow rate depends on the
hose's diameter and length. The smaller the hose diameter and the greater the length, the
lower the flow rate at the end of the hose.
The same principle applies to the difference between the water level in the tank from which we
are pumping and the level to which we are pumping. The greater the difference in levels, the
lower the pump's capacity. The parameter specified as the maximum lift height in the technical
data indicates the maximum pressure the pump will generate. At this pressure, the pump's
capacity will be zero.
When lowering the pump into the tank, lower it using the cord attached to the pump
handle.
Warning! It is forbidden to lift or lower the pump using the power cable or the float.
Lifting or lowering the pump using the cable or the float will, at best, result in damage to
the cables; at worst, it may lead to electric shock.
The guarantor and manufacturer are exempt from any liability in the event of failure to
comply with this requirement. Repair of a damaged cable is only possible on a
chargeable basis, not under warranty.
