5. Before starting the equipment

5.1 Connecting the intake line
•
The intake hose or pipe should have a mini-
mum diameter of 25 mm (1"); a diameter of
32 mm (11/4") is recommended for suction
heights exceeding 5 m.
•
Connect the intake valve (foot valve) with in-
take cage to the intake line.
•
Position the intake line so that it rises from
the water withdrawal point to the equipment.
Avoid positioning the suction pipe higher than
the pump, as this would delay the escape of
air bubbles from the suction pipe and impede
the priming process.
•
Install the intake and discharge lines in such
a way that they do not exert any mechanical
pressure on the equipment.
•
The intake valve should be low enough in the
water to ensure that if the water level falls, the
equipment will not run dry.
•
A leaking intake line will draw in air and there-
fore not draw in any water.
5.2 Connecting the discharge line
•
The discharge line (min. 19 mm (3/4")) 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 (1/2") 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 230 V ~ 50 Hz
socket-outlet with earthing contact. Minimum
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

•
Install the equipment on a solid and level
surface.
•
Remove the ventilation screw (7).
•
Unscrew the coarse filter screw (6) using the
supplied wrench (10) and remove the coarse
filter (8) together with the non-return valve
(9) as shown in Figure 2. Now you can fill the
pump housing with water via the coarse filter
screw (6). 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 (3) - water can be suctioned in for up
to 5 minutes (maximum suction height).
•
After finishing the work, switch off the equip-
ment with the power switch (3).

7. Replacing the power cable

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.
Important!
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 disconnect
the suction hose. Open the water line. Switch on
the equipment several times for approx. two se-
conds. This should resolve the majority of clog-
related problems.
