Function of the pump
The submersible pump sucks the liquid to be
pumped into the pump through the suction open-
ings of the adjustable suction basket and pumps
it out at the outlet. With the suction basket in
"bottom" setting, clear and wastewater can be
pumped, with the suction basket in "top" setting,
only clear water can be pumped.
Thermal protection
Your submersible pump is equipped with a ther-
mal protection switch, which automatically swit-
ches off the pump in case of overheating. The
pump will remain off until it has cooled down.
After about 15 - 20 minutes, the pump will auto-
matically switch on.

Setting up and Operating the
Pump
Assembling the pressure line
1. Screw the elbow connector (6) into the pump
outlet.
2. Screw the multi-size nipple (5) into the elbow
connector (6).
3. Attach a hose to the multi-size nipple.
You can cut off the tip of the multi-size
nipple to fit the diameter of the hose you
are using. Using a hose with the largest
possible diameter will greatly improve the
performance of the pump.
4. Uncoil the electric
Make sure that any electrical connections
are not exposed to water and do not lie
within the outflow of the pump.
When placing the pump in the liquid,
make sure to let it down slowly. You may
need to tilt the pump slightly so that air
trapped in the body is released through
the outlet holes (air removal). Air bubbles
will appear under the water. When placing
the pump into water for the first time, it
can take several seconds before air is
released.
Pay attention to secure placement of the
pump. If the base should be sandy or
muddy or rocky and uneven, place the
pump on a suitable hard, flat surface or
suspend it from a rope attached to a
secure object. Make sure to leave ade-
quate room between the pump and the
bottom so that it cannot suck up solid
matter.
Make sure that the pump does not suck in
solid matter. Sand or other abrasive
particles suspended in the liquid will lead
to increased wear and tear and may
impact the performance of your pump.
Before lowering the pump into a well or a
cistern, attach a rope to the handle. When
placing the pump inside a cistern, make
sure that the shaft is large enough for the
pump to fit. For min. shaft dimensions,
see Figure B.
Place a cover over the cistern so that no
one will fall in.
