IV. GETTING STARTED
Before any intervention on product, ensure that product is disconnected from its power source.
4.1- Unpacking
- Remove product from its packaging.
- Check that product and accessories are not damage
4.2- Connecting the evacuation hose
1. Screw the universal fitting (connector) (4) provided onto the pump outlet elbow (Fig.1).
2. Wedge the discharge hose on to the connection section corresponding to the internal diameter of
the hose (Fig.2).
3. Add a fixing collar (hose clamp not supplied) to complete the seal.
N.B.: For large diameter hoses and to obtain the optimum discharge output, it will be necessary to cut
the end of the universal fitting (4) so as to only keep the section suitable for the hose used (Fig.3).

4.3- Adjusting the floating switch
The float switch (1) enables the automatic start of
the pump.
The float switch (1) has two positions:
- The "manual" position allows starting and
stopping the pump by connecting the plug to the
mains. The water level for manual mode operation
must be greater than 90mm.
- The "auto" position enables the automatic start of
the pump.
Fig.4
When the water rises to reach approximately 185mm, the pump starts up.
When water level has lowered to approximately 85mm, the pump will stop automatically.
Note: the trigger starting and stopping of the pump will depend on its installation location and height.
4.4- Start-up
Note: Before use, clear the outlet line
Observe and respect minimum water level and max delivery height
1. The pump must be in a vertical position: ensure that it is stable during operation.
2. Ensure that the float switch can move freely.
3. The suction holes must never be obstructed. It is therefore preferable that the pump should never be
placed directly on the ground or on the bottom of the well, pond or vessel.
For example, use a brick to support the pump.
Warning: to dry out premises (cellar draining for example) it will be necessary to place the pump
below floor level.
