ENGLISH

Protection must be provided by a
residual current device (RCD) of
max. 30 mA capacity.

The earthed outlet or the plug con-
nection to an extension cable must
be located in an area safe against
flooding and protected from water.

Use only extension cables of suffi-
cient lead cross section (see "Tech-
nical Specifications"). Unroll cable
reels fully.

Do not buckle, squeeze, drag or
drive over power cable and exten-
sion cables; protect from sharp
edges.

Place extension cable so that it can
not get into the fluid to be pumped.

Always unplug before servicing the
pump.

A
Danger by pump failures!

If you notice shipping damage while
unpacking, notify your
immediately. Do not operate the
pump!

Before each use check the pump,
especially the power cable and plug
for possible damage. Risk of fatal
electric shock!

A damaged pump must be work-
manlike repaired before it can be
used again.

Do not attempt to repair the pump
yourself! When repaired inexpertly
there is a hazard of fluid entering the
electrical parts of the pump.
A Caution!
To avoid water damage, e.g.
flooded rooms, caused by pump mal-
functions or defects:

provide for suitable safety measures
such as the following:
 alarm or
 collection tank with monitoring.
The manufacturer is not liable for any
damage caused by:
 improper use of the pump;
 overloading of the pump through
continous operation;
 failure to operate and store the
pump in a frost-free environment;
 unauthorised modification of the
pump (repairs to electrical equip-
ment may only be carried out by
qualified electricians!);
 use of spare parts which have not
been tested and approved by the
manufacturer; or
 use of unsuitable installation materi-
als (fittings, connection lines etc.).
Suitable installation materials:
 pressure-resistant (min. 10 bar)
 heat-resistant (min. 100°C).

5. Prior to Operation

5.1 Discharge Hose Connec-
tion
The discharge hose is either screwed
directly on the discharge port (6) or con-
nected by means of a multi-adapter (if
necessary secure discharge hose with
hose clamps).

5.2 Installation
A
Caution!
 Pump installation and tube well
construction shall only be carried
out by an authorised specialist.
 For initial operation of the deep
well pump follow the instructions
given in the supplementary sheet.

Required space approx. 100 mm
diameter.

The pump must not be submerged
deeper into water then stated in the
"Technical Specifications".

The pump' suction inlet must not be
positioned in the well's filtration area
and not near the bottom. Position
the pump as high as possible in the
well, but at least 2 m below the
water level.

In case the pump is not operated in
a tube well the operator must ensure
that no foreign matter is taken in.
Caution! 
A
Do not lift pump at cable or dis-
charge hose; both are not designed
for the tensile load by the weight of
the pump.
1. Lower pump to the bottom of the
fluid container. Use a sturdy rope
fastened to the pump head to lower
the pump. 
The pump can also be operated
when suspended by a rope.
2. Plug the power cable in.
6. Operation
6.1

Switching ON and OFF


To start the submersible pump plug
the power cable in.

Unplug to stop the pump.
A Caution! 
At too low a water level the
deep well pump runs dry and will be
damaged or destroyed.
When operating the pump always
make sure that the water level is suffi-
cient and dry running is not possible.
Damage caused by running dry is not
covered by the manufacturer's war-
ranty!
Overload protection
This submersible pump has an overload
protection which automatically turns the
motor off in case the pump is over-
loaded. 
If the overload protection has tripped:
1. Unplug.
2. Remove cause for the overload (see
"Care and Maintenance").
6.2 Pump Characteristic
Curve
The pump characteristic curve shows
which pump capacity is possible in
dependance on the delivery head.
