Maintenance And Care; Disposal - Conrad 55 12 23 Bedienungsanleitung

• The motor of the pump is protected via an integrated automatic temperature switch. In case of overheating,
the temperature switch turns the pump off automatically. Once the pump is cooled off it turns itself on again
automatically.
• When disconnecting the pump from the mains never pull on the power line itself, always pull the dry power plug
which must be completely dry.
• If not in use, never hang the pump on the power line as this might damage or destroy it.
• In case the pump pumped fluids, which leave residue, it should be thoroughly cleaned after use with clean water.
• Sand, mud or suspended sediment in the pumped water can affect its delivery rate.

7. Maintenance and Care

Before cleaning the pump or performing maintenance, the following safety notes must be observed:
• When opening covers or removing parts you may expose live parts. Therefore, disconnect the pump from all
voltage sources before performing maintenance work or repairs. Capacitors (motor start capacitor) inside the
device may still carry voltage even though they have been disconnected from all voltage sources. Never replace
yourself damaged mains connection lines. Repairs or maintenance work may only be carried out by qualified
personnel who are familiar with the hazards involved and the relevant regulations.
• The pump requires no maintenance apart from cleaning every now and then the surface of the casing and the
strainer. Control every now and then the connecting line, the plug, the float switch and its cord for cracks and
make sure that the insulation is intact.
• If you do not use the pump for a longer period of time or before storing it, rinse the pump thoroughly with water in
order to drain it and store it completely dry. If there is danger of frost, the pump must be completely drained. After
a longer service life, check by quickly turning the pump on/off if the rotor turns properly.
• In case of occasional blockage of the pump, close the pressure line at the water conduit and demount the
suction hose. Open the water conduit. Turn the pump on repeatedly for approximately. 2 seconds. Generally, this
eliminates blockages.
• Clean the product only with a slightly moistened cloth or a brush. Never use aggressive cleansing agents or
chemical solvents since this might damage the product. Do not use any cleaning agents which contain carbon or
petrol, alcohol or the like to clean the product. These might attack the surface of the casing or the mechanics of
the pump. The fumes are furthermore a health hazard and are explosive. Moreover, you should not use sharp-
edged tools, screwdrivers or metal brushes or similar for cleaning.
