CAUTION!
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 im-
pact the performance of your pump. Be-
fore 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 dimen-
sions, see Figure C.
CAUTION!
Place a cover over the cistern so that no
one will fall in.
CAUTION!
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.
CAUTION!
Make sure that the pump does not run on
a blocked or closed pressure hose.
Pressure pipe mount
1. Screw the elbow connector (5) into the pump
outlet.
2. Screw the multi-size nipple (4) into the elbow
connector (5).
3. Attach a hose to the multi-size nipple.
4. Uncoil the electric cable completely.
5. 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 automa-
tically switch off, see technical data.
Pumping out any remaining liquid
CAUTION!
While pumping out remaining liquid,
make sure to keep the pump under ob-
servation and turn it off by pulling the
plug when the liquid has been comple-
tely pumped out, so that the pump does
not suck air, as this may damage your
pump.

If the level of the remaining water drops
below 10/40 mm, the pump will suck in
air. Before using the pump again to drain
liquid, the air trapped in the pump will
have to be let out (see Setting up and
Operating the Pump).
Before you can pump out any remaining liquid be-
low the cut-off (= STOP) level (see technical data),
you will have to operate the float switch manually:
1. Unplug the electric cable.
2. Fix the float switch so that it remains in an up-
right position.
3. Plug in the electric cable. The pump will auto-
matically switch on and pump out any remai-
ning liquid.
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. Re-
commended length of the float switch cable is ap-
prox. 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 CARE

CAUTION!
Before beginning any maintenance or
cleaning work, make sure that the pump
has been unplugged and take precauti-
ons to ensure that it cannot be switched
on during work!
Cleaning the pump
1. If you have used your pump to pump chlorine
water (pool water) or liquids which leave a re-
sidue, flush your pump out with clear water
after use.
2. Clean the suction slots located in the suction
body with clear water as required.
Protect from frost
CAUTION!
Your pump is susceptible to low tempe-
ratures. Make sure to empty the pump of
residual liquid and store it so that it is pro-
tected from frost.
