Kärcher SP 6 Flat Inox Bedienungsanleitung Seite 11

Start up
NOTICE
The shorter the hose length and the larger the hose di-
ameter, the higher the pump capacity.
In order to prevent the pump from clogging, use the en-
closed pre-filter (SP 6 Flat Inox) or slide down the inte-
grated pre-filter (SP 7 Dirt Inox) with hose diameters of
less than 1¼ ".
The pump connection is equipped with a plug system
(Quick-Connect).
The unmounted connection nozzle with pump connect-
ing piece is enclosed in the device.
Illustration
 To remove the connection nozzle, press the Quick-
Connect (grey button).
Illustration
 Screw the pump connecting piece onto the connec-
tion nozzle.
 Slide the hose clamp onto the hose.
 Slide the hose onto the pump connecting piece and
secure it by means of a hose clamp.
 Slide the connection nozzle into the Quick-Con-
nect.
NOTICE
Hoses with a diameter of 1", 1¼" and 1½" can be con-
nected to the pump connecting piece.
A sufficiently large hose diameter must be selected and
the pump connecting piece must be shortened accord-
ing to the grooves so that the required particle size can
be used. A large hose diameter is also recommended
for smaller particle sizes to allow a high flow volume.
Illustration
 Slide the level sensor onto the rail from the top.
Illustration
 Fold out or fold in the support legs (SP 6 Flat Inox)
for the pump start.
NOTICE
It is not mandatory to fold out the support legs; a higher
pump capacity is achieved by folding out the support
legs.
Folding in the support legs enables the flat vacuuming
of the fluid up to a residual fluid height of up to 1 mm.
 Install or uninstall pre-filter (SP 6 Flat Inox).
 Slide down or up the pre-filter (SP 7 Dirt Inox).
NOTICE
It is not necessary to install the pre-filter, but a higher
pump capacity is reached by installing the pre-filter (on-
ly for SP 6 Flat Inox).
The feed fluids are pre-filtered by the pre-filter to protect
the pump from heavy contamination. Particles up to 5
mm can still be used in the filter.
Disassembly of the pre-filter allows for the flat vacuum-
ing of the fluid up to 1 mm residual fluid height (SP 6 Flat
Inox).
 Safely place the pump on a stable surface in the
feed fluid or immerse it using a rope tied to the car-
rying handle.
NOTICE
The suction area must not be blocked by soiling.
In case of muddy ground, place the pump on a brick or
the like.
Ensure that the pump is level.
Do not carry the pump on the cable or the hose.
DANGER
Risk of mortal danger on account of electric shock!
Do not touch feed fluids, the rope attached to the carry-
ing handle as well as objects that are in contact with the
feed fluid (e.g. pipelines extending into the water, rail-
ings, etc.).
Illustration
NOTICE
In order for the pump to draw independently, the fluid
level must be at least 50 mm (SP 7 Dirt Inox) or 7 mm
(SP 6 Flat Inox).
The pump can pump up to a residual fluid height of
35 mm (SP 7 Dirt Inox) or 1 mm (SP 6 Flat Inox).
Automatic venting device
Illustration
With a low fluid level, possibly drawn air or air that is
present in the pump escapes via the automatic venting
device. In addition, fluid may leak at this spot.
If the pump has suction problems with a low fluid level,
unplug and plug in the mains plug repeatedly in order to
support the suction process.
Automatic operation
Illustration
NOTICE
In the automatic mode, the level sensor automatically
controls the pumping operations.
As soon as the level sensor has contact with the rising
feed fluid the pump switches on.
The pump switches off as soon as the level sensor loses
contact with the falling feed fluid and an after-running
time of 15 s has passed.
Switching on:
Minimum fluid level required to enable the pump to suc-
tion independently (=minimum switch-on point):
SP 6 Flat Inox: 7 mm (57 mm when using the pre-filter)
SP 7 Dirt Inox: 50 mm
Highest adjustable switching height of the level
sensor:
SP 6 Flat Inox: 190 mm without pre-filter (240 mm when
using the pre-filter)
SP 7 Dirt Inox: 237 mm
Minimum residual fluid height/max. Extraction
depth:
The pump can pump out up to a residual liquid height of
SP 6 Flat Inox: 1 mm (without pre-filter, with folded
base)
SP 7 Dirt Inox: 35 mm
NOTICE
It is recommended to use the pre-filter.
NOTICE
Ensure that the pump is level.
Otherwise it can happen that the level sensor does not
lose the fluid contact and the pump runs dry.
 Push the level sensor to the desired switch-on
height (contact with feed fluid).
