Intended Use; Before First Use; Preparation - Westfalia 81 77 21 Instruction Manual

Intended Use

The clear water pump has been designed for pumping clear water. It is not
intended for delivering salt water, corrosive, easily flammable or explosive
liquids (e.g. petrol, paraffin, thinners, etc.), faeces, oil, heating oil or foodstuffs.
The pump can be used for delivering clear water, containing firm particles up
to a diameter of 5 mm.
The clear water pump can be used for delivering rain water from a cistern,
ground water from one's own well etc. When immersing the pump into a well,
make sure the diameter of the well is not smaller than 40 x 40 x 50 cm so the
float switch (4) can float freely.
The pump is not designed for commercial continuous operation.
The intended use also includes an operation following the operating
instructions. Any use beyond these parameters (different media, applying
force) or any changes (reconstruction, no original accessory) can lead to
serious risks and is regarded as use that is contrary to the intended purpose.

Before first Use

Unpack the clear water pump and check all parts for any damage in transit. Keep
packaging materials out of reach of children. There is risk of suffocation!

Preparation

1. Before each use, check the pump and the power cord for any damages. Do
not use the pump in case of damages.
2. Screw the universal hose adaptor (5) on the water outlet opening (6).
3. Tightly attach or screw on the hose (not included) to be used for pumping off
the water to the hose connection (5) of the hose adaptor. If required, use
Teflon tape for sealing.
4. Set the pump on a flat surface into the water supply you want to pump off.
Make sure that the pump cannot move during operation. Pay attention to the
maximum submersion depth (refer to Technical Data). Always make sure that
the suction opening is not blocked or obstructed during operation. If neces-
sary, place the pump on a brick or similar.
5. When immersing the pump in a very deep well, attach a sufficiently strong
rope (water-proof) or chain to the carrying handle in order to guide the pump
down. Never use the power cord for immersing and lifting up the pump.
