9. Initial operation

m IMPORTANT!
You must fully assemble the appliance
before using it for the first time!
Positioning/Hanging
• The dimensions of the pump shaft must
be not less than 45 x 45 x 45 cm, in or-
der that the float switch (3) can move
freely.
• The pump can be suspended by the
handle (1) or placed on the shaft floor.
The pump can be suspended and/or re-
moved using a rope.
• For safe suspension, loop the rope
around two of the holders of the han-
dle (1) and guide it upwards through the
handle (1).
• Never suspend the pump by the hose.
• Immerse the pump in the water to be
sucked in by forming an angle of 45
degrees (to reduce the amount of air
trapped in the pump body). If the pump
is resting on the floor, make sure that it
is on a flat and stable surface
• Make sure that there are no people in
the liquid to be pumped.
• Connect the pump to the mains.

Adjustment of the float switch
• The float switch (3) is set so that im-
mediate commissioning is possible.
For stationary installation the function
of the float switch (3) must be checked
regularly (at least every three months).
• The float switch must be attached so
that the switching point ON level and
the switching point OFF level can be
reached easily and with little expendi-
ture of energy.
• Check this by placing the pump into a
vessel filled with water and lift the float
switch carefully by hand and then low-
er it again. In this case, you can see
whether the pump switches on and off.
• During the adjustment of the float
switch, ensure that the float switch
does not contact the floor before the
pump switches off. Attention! Risk of
running dry and damage to the device.
Electrical connection
The electrical motor installed is connect-
ed and ready for operation. The connec-
tion complies with the applicable VDE

Damaged electrical connection cable
The insulation on electrical connection
cables is often damaged.
This may have the following causes:
• Passage points, where connection ca-
bles are passed through windows or
doors.
• Kinks where the connection cable has
been improperly fastened or routed.
• Places where the connection cables
have been cut due to being driven over.
• Insulation damage due to being ripped
out of the wall outlet.
