Maintenance And Cleaning - AL-KO TDS 1001/3 Bedienungsanleitung

6. Plug the pump into the socket. As soon as
the pump has reached the cut-in (= START)
level, the float switch will automatically
switch the pump on. When the liquid has
fallen below the cut-off (=STOP) level, the
pump will automatically switch off, see tech-
nical data.
Take suitable measures, e.g. installation
of an alarm or a back-up pump, to ensure
that flooding will not occur if the pump
should malfunction.
Make sure that the pump does not run
with a blocked or closed pressure hose.
Pumping out to the minimum
submersed depth
Before you can pump out to the minimum sub-
mersed depth of 170 mm, you will have to oper-
ate the float switch manually:
1. Unplug the electric cable.
2. Fix the float switch so that it remains in an
upright position.
3. Plug in the electric cable. The pump will
automatically switch on and pump out any
remaining liquid.
While pumping to the minimum sub-
mersed depth, make sure to keep the
pump under observation and turn it off by
pulling the plug when the minimum sub-
mersed depth has been reached to pre-
vent the pump from sucking in air, as this
may damage your pump.
If the level of the remaining water drops
below the minimum submersed depth, the
pump will suck in air. Before using the
pump again to drain liquid, the air trapped
in the pump will have to be vented (see
Setting up and Operating the Pump).
GB 3
Adjusting the cut-in and cut-off levels
The float switch cable is attached to the pump
housing. You can adjust the cut-in = START and
cut-off = STOP levels for operation by simply
changing the height of the switch as desired.
Recommended length of the float switch cable is
approx. 120 mm.
Switching off the Pump
1. To switch off the pump, just pull the plug of
the electric cable from the socket.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Before beginning any maintenance or
cleaning work, make sure that the pump
has been unplugged and take precautions
to ensure that it cannot be switched on
during work!
Cleaning the pump
−
If you have used your pump to pump chlorine
water (pool water) or liquids which leave a
residue, flush your pump out with clear water
after use.
−
Clean the inlet strainer located in the suction
body with clear water as required.
Protect from frost
Your pump is susceptible to low tempera-
tures. Make sure to empty the pump of
residual liquid and store it so that it is
protected from frost.
Disposal
Do not dispose of the pump with
the household garbage; the pump
must be disposed of properly.
The packaging and accessories
are all produced from recyclable
materials and must be disposed
of accordingly
