Replacing The Power Cable; Operation; Cleaning, Maintenance And Ordering Of Spare Parts - Scheppach SP900-F Originalbetriebsanleitung

Installation
During installation, make sure that the device never
hangs unsupported from the pressure hose or the po-
wer cable. The machine must be suspended using the
dedicated handle or be positioned on the sump floor.
In order to guarantee smooth functioning of the machine,
the sump must always be kept free from mud or other
contamination.
When the water level is too low, any mud in the base of
the pump can quickly dry and prevent the device from
starting. That is why you have to check the machine
regularly (try starting it).
Note:
The pump sump should have dimensions of at least 50 x
50 cm so the float switch can move freely.
Mains connection
The equipment you have purchased comes with an
earthing-pin plug. The equipment is designed for
connection to a socket outlet with earthing contact for
230 V ~ 50 Hz. Make sure that the socket-outlet is
sufficiently fused (at least 6 A) and in good working
order. Insert the power plug in the socket-outlet and
the equipment is ready for operation.
Important!
To rule out danger, this work must be left strictly to a
specialist electrician or Customer Service.

Operation

You can put the equipment into operation after you
have thoroughly read the installation and operating
instructions. Pay attention to the following points:
• Make sure that the equipment is set up securely.
• Check that the discharge line is fitted correctly
• Make sure that the electrical connection is 230 V
• ~ 50 Hz.
• Check that the electrical socket-outlet is in good
working order.
• Make sure that no moisture or water can ever
• reach the power connection.
• Make sure that the equipment does not run dry.
Setting the ON/OFF switching point:
The ON/OFF switching point can be infinitely
adjusted with the height adjustment facility. For this
purpose you must first slacken the screw (Point 6).
The switching differential can be infinitely adjusted by
extending or shortening the floating cable.
• The floating switch must be fitted so that the switching
point height: ON and the switch point height: OFF
can be reached easily and with little force. Check this
by placing the equipment in a container filled with
water and carefully raising and lowering the floating
switch with your hand. You can then see whether the
equipment switches on and off.
• Make sure that the distance between the floating
12 GB
switch head and the cable holder is not too small. If
the distance is too small, there is no guarantee that
the equipment will work correctly.
• When adjusting the floating switch, make sure that
the floating switch does not touch the bottom before
the equipment is switched off. Important! Risk of dry
running.
Manual operation:
Mount the float switch as illustrated in Figure 2 so that
the device runs continuously. In this mode the
equipment may be used only under supervision to
avoid dry running. The equipment must be switched
off (pull out the power plug) as soon as no more water is
emitted from the discharge line.

Replacing the power cable

If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufacturer or its aftersales
service or similarly trained personnel to avoid danger.
Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of
spare parts
Important!
• Unplug the power plug prior to any maintenance
• work.
• For mobile applications, the equipment should be
• cleaned with clear water after every usage.
• For stationary installation, it is recommended that you
check the floating switch for proper functioning every
three months.
• Use a water jet to remove any lint or fibrous particles
that may have become trapped in the housing.
• Remove sludge from the shaft bottom and clean the
shaft walls every 3 months.
• Use clear water to remove deposits from the floating
switch.
Cleaning the paddle wheel
If a lot of deposits collect in the housing, the bottom part
of the equipment must be dismantled as follows:
1. Disconnect the intake cage from the housing.
2. Clean the paddle wheel with clear water.
Important! Do not put down or rest the equipment on the
paddle wheel!
3. Assemble in reverse order.
Maintenance
There are no parts inside the equipment which
require additional maintenance.
