arrange for a specialist to check that the
- earthing
- protective multiple earthing
- residual-current operated circuit-breaker circuit-
comply with the safety regulations of the power sup-
ply company and work correctly.
• The electrical plug-in connections must be protected
from wet conditions.
• If there is a risk of flooding, place the plug-in con-
nections in an area which is safe from flooding
• Strictly avoid pumping aggressive liquids and abrasi-
ve substances.
• Protect the equipment from frost.
• Protect the equipment from dry running.
• Take suitable measures to keep the equipment out
of the reach of children.

Proper use

The equipment you have purchased is designed to
pump water with a maximum temperature of 35 °C.
This equipment must never be used for other liquids,
especially engine fuels, cleaning agents and other
chemically-based products! Installed in a shaft, the
equipment provides protection from flooding.
However, it can be used wherever you want to move
water, e.g. in the house, in the garden, and for many
other applications. The equipment must not be used
to operate swimming pools!
If you want to use the equipment in bodies of water
with a natural, muddy bottom, place the equipment in
a slightly elevated position, e.g. on bricks.
The equipment is not designed for continuous
operation, e.g. as a circulating pump in a pond. In this
case the equipment's anticipated life will be greatly
shortened because the equipment was not designed
for continuous loading.
The equipment is to be used only for its prescribed
purpose. Any other use is deemed to be a case of
misuse. The user / operator and not the
manufacturer will be liable for any damage or injuries
of any kind caused as a result of this.
Please note that our equipment has not been
designed for use in commercial, trade or industrial
applications. Our warranty will be voided if the
machine is used in commercial, trade or industrial
businesses or for equivalent purposes.
Commissioning
Before commissioning the pump, attach a sufficiently
strong rope to its handle.
Only ever use the rope or the handle to immerse the
pump in the water.
m Hinweis: Note: In case of long-term use of
the pump, regularly check the condition of the
rope because it can get damaged over time.
Attaching the pressure hose (Fig. 3)
• Connect a suitable pressure hose to the pump and se-
cure it with hose brackets (not included).
• For threaded connections,
readed sealing tape
Warning! The maximum delivery rate can only be
achieved with the largest possible pipe diameter.
When smaller hoses or pipes are connected, the
delivery rate will be reduced. When using the uni-
versal hose connection, it should be trimmed to
suit the chosen connection so the delivery rate is
not reduced unnecessarily.
Installation
During installation, make sure that the device never
hangs unsupported from the pressure hose or the po-
wer cable. The machine must be suspended using the
dedicated handle or be positioned on the sump floor.
In order to guarantee smooth functioning of the machine,
the sump must always be kept free from mud or other
contamination.
When the water level is too low, any mud in the base of
the pump can quickly dry and prevent the device from
starting. That is why you have to check the machine
regularly (try starting it).
Note:
The pump sump should have dimensions of at least 50 x
50 cm so the float switch can move freely.
Mains connection
The equipment you have purchased comes with an
earthing-pin plug. The equipment is designed for
connection to a socket outlet with earthing contact for
230 V ~ 50 Hz. Make sure that the socket-outlet is
sufficiently fused (at least 6 A) and in good working
order. Insert the power plug in the socket-outlet and
the equipment is ready for operation.
Important!
To rule out danger, this work must be left strictly to a
specialist electrician or Customer Service.
always use th-
(e.g. Teflon).
