and float switch - for possible dam-
age. Risk of fatal electric shock!
Do not attempt to repair the pump
yourself! When repaired inexpert-
ly, there is a risk of liquid entering
the electrical parts of the pump.
Caution!
To avoid water damage, e.g.
flooded rooms, caused by
pump malfunctions or defects:
provide for suitable safety meas-
ures such as the following:
– alarm or
– collection tank with monitoring.
The manufacturer is not liable for
any damage caused by:
– improper use of the pump;
– failure to operate and store the
pump in a frost-free environ-
ment;
– unauthorised modification of the
pump (repairs to electrical
equipment may only be carried
out by qualified electricians!);
– use of spare parts which have
not been tested and approved
by the manufacturer; or
– use of unsuitable installation ma-
terials (fittings, connection lines
etc.).
Suitable installation materials:
– pressure-resistant (min. 10
bar)
– heat-resistant (min. 100°C).

4.2 Fixing the float switch cable
How the float switch cable is fixed to the

device depends on the particular device
model. If necessary, insert the float switch
cable in the cable clip of the handle.
The following illustration shows the fixed float
switch cable.
Caution!
The float switch cable may be dam-

Installation instructions

For the float switch to function properly, it

must be able to move freely.
Space requirement for DP 18-5 SA, DP 28-
10 S Inox: approx. 60 cm x 60 cm
Space requirement for SP 24-46 SG, SP
28-50 S Inox: approx. 70 cm x 70 cm.
Submerge the pump to no more than the

maximum immersion depth specified in the
technical data.
Install the pump such that the suction inlets

cannot be blocked by foreign objects. If
necessary place the pump on a support
surface.
Ensure sufficient upright stability.

Risk of electric shock from severed
cables!
Do not lift or transport the pump by the
cables or the discharge hose! The cables and
the discharge hose are not designed to with-
stand the tensile stress produced by the
weight of the pump.
4.4 Installing the pump
1. Submerge pump at a slight angle to avoid
creating an air cushion on the underside,
which would prevent priming. Once the
pump is submerged, it can be placed up-
right.
2. Lower pump to the bottom of the fluid con-
tainer.
Use a strong rope fastened to the lifting
