Garland AMAZON 550 E Instruction Manual page 23

If you submerge the pump in a small place, ensure
that the buoy has sufficient room to move up and
down. If the buoy does not have sufficient room it will
block and will not allow the pump to stop before the
water finishes. The pump will work with no water, it
will wear out more quickly and a breakage could take
place.
5.3. CHECKING POINTS BEFORE SUBMERGING THE
PUMP
It is important to check that all parts are well
tightened. Tighten, repair and replace all necessary
before using the machine.
5.4. PUMP SUBMERSION
Place the pump in the water by holding the
transport handle and ensuring the machine is in a
vertical position. The pump can be placed on the
bottom of the surface if the water is clean and has
no impurities. If not, the machine must be placed on
a platform.
If you cannot reach the bottom with your arm, you
can tie a rope to the transport handle and lower the
pump. The same rope can later be used to raise the
pump. Never use the buoy to lower or raise the pump.
6. MACHINE USAGE
Use this machine only for jobs for which it has
been designed. The use of this machine for any other
jobs is dangerous and can cause dangers to the users
and/or to the machine.
Do not rely solely on the security elements of the
machine.
Do not use this machine if tired, ill or if under the
effects of medicines, alcohol or drugs. The lack of rest
and fatigue can cause accidents and damages.
Do not use this machine at night, with fog or with
reduced visibility that does not allow you to clearly see
the working area.
Always be alert that the machine has no loose parts.
If you detect any loose parts, stop the machine
immediately and check the machine carefully. If you
detect any problems, stop the machine and take to
your nearest service dealer. Never carry on working
with the machine.
6.1. START AND STOPPAGE
The machine starts and stops automatically
depending on the position of the buoy once the
machine has been connected to the mains. This
machine has no manual switch.
6.2. CONNEXION TO THE MAINS
It is obligatory to connect the machine to a mains
switch protected by a residual differential equal to or
less than 30mA. Electricity tension should be 240v,
frequency 50Hz and have a magnet and thermal
switch between 10A-16A.
When using a cable extension, make sure that its
minimum section is 1.5 mm
metres, always unrolled and adequate for outdoor use.
The use of the cable extension adequate for outdoor
use, reduces the risk of electric shock.
Place the cable extension in such a way that it does
not touch the water and that it will not fall into the
water when the pump starts working. The cable
extension must always be well away from the water
and dry.
