2. Clamp the pump between your feet and
take hold of the carrying handle.
3. Unlatch the filter basket by turning the
handle clockwise.
4. Move the filter basket into the required
position.
5. Lock the filter basket in place by turning
the handle anticlockwise.

Automatic mode

In automatic mode, the float switch controls
the pumping process automatically.
The pump switches on as soon as the float
switch reaches the switch-on height
caused by the rising fluid level.
The pump switches off as soon as the float
switch reaches the switch-off height caused
by the sinking fluid level.
The float switch must be able to move free-
ly.
Note
The switching heights vary depending on:
 Position of the float switch
 Cable length between the float switch
and lock.
The cable length must be at least
2.5 cm. We would recommend retaining
the set cable length.
For information on the switching heights,
see chapter Technical data.
1. Set the float switch using the height ad-
justment, and the cable length between
the float switch and the lock.
Note
When the pump is operated unattended,
always set the float switch to the upper-
most position in order to ensure that the
pump can switch off reliably.
Illustration F
When the float switch is set to the lower-
most position, set the cable length be-
tween the float switch and the lock to
2.5 cm, see marking on the cable.

2. Move the filter basket into the "waste
water and clear water delivery" position.
3. Plug the mains plug into the socket.

Manual operation

In manual operation, the pump stays
switched on.
The residual fluid height (see chapter
Technical data) can only be reached in
manual operation.
ATTENTION
Damaging the pump due to dry running
Increased wear and tear
Do not leave the pump unattended in man-
ual operation.
Switch off the pump for dry running.
1. Fasten the float switch in the lock, with
the nose pointing upwards.

2. Move the filter basket into the required
position, depending on the fluid level (for
the minimum fluid height and residual
fluid height, see chapter Technical da-
ta).
3. Plug the mains plug into the socket.
Optimising the flow rate
The flow rate is further increased:
 The lower the delivery height is
 The greater the diameter of the hose
used is
 The shorter the hose used is
 The smaller the pressure loss caused by
the connected up accessories

Ending operation

1. Remove any dirt from the device.
 Pump clear water.
 Rinse out the pump.
2. Press the button for Quick-Connect and
remove the pipe union.
