Operation

Operation

Danger of death from electric shock.
Danger of death from electric shock if live parts or the feed fluids are touched.
Do not touch any live parts or the feed fluid.
Note
For the pump to suction independently, it must be at least 3 cm in the liquid.
If the requirements for the pumping process (water level position / level switch) are guaranteed, the pump starts immediately after inserting the battery pack.

1. Press the unit trigger.
2. Pump switches on.

Ending operation

Note
Internal soiling can accumulate as deposits and lead to malfunctions.

1. Flush the pump with clear water after each use.
   This is especially true after transporting chlorinated water or other liquids that leave residues.
2. Switch off the pump by pressing the trigger.
3. Remove the battery pack.

Transport

Switch the device off, allow it to cool down and remove the battery pack before storage or transportation.

• Carry the device.

ATTENTION
Loose cable and hoses lying on the ground
Danger of tripping
Watch out the cables and hoses when relocating the device in mobile operation.

• Transport the device in a vehicle.
  1. Secure the device against slipping and tipping over.

Storage

ATTENTION
Danger of frost
Incompletely emptied devices can be destroyed by frost.
Completely empty the device and accessories.
Protect the device from frost.

Care and service

The device is maintenance-free, i.e. you do not need to perform periodic maintenance work.

Flushing the pump

1. Flush the pump with clear water if water with additives has been delivered.

Cleaning the pre-filter

Check the pre-filter for contamination and clean if necessary.

1. Remove the pre-filter.
2. Clean the pre-filter under running water.
3. If necessary, flush any dirt residues out of the pump.
   ATTENTION
   Use of unsuitable lubricant
   Damage to the seals

   Use only grease free of mineral oil for the seals.
4. Lubricate the seals if the connections do not move freely.
5. Fit the pre-filter into the filling nozzle without using unnecessary force. Ensure the correct installation position (cutouts).

Troubleshooting guide

Malfunctions often have simple causes that you can remedy yourself using the following overview. When in doubt, or in the case of malfunctions not mentioned here, please contact your authorised Customer Service.

Pump is running, but not delivering
Dirt particles block the suction area.

1. Clean the suction area.

Air in the pump

1. Switch the pump switch on and off several times until liquid is sucked in.

(Only for manual operation) water table level below minimum level

1. If possible, immerse pump deeper in feed fluids.

Compressed air hose blocked

1. Clean the compressed air hose.

The pump does not start up or stops suddenly during operation.
Power supply interrupted

1. Check whether the battery is correctly inserted.

Battery can no longer be charged

1. Battery must be replaced with a new one.

Thermal protection switch in the motor has switched off the pump due to overheating of the motor.

1. Let the pump cool down, clean the suction area, prevent dry running.

Remove any dirt particles trapped in the suction area.

1. Clean the suction area.

Battery does not charge
Charger or mains cable not connected correctly

1. Check for correct connection between battery and charger.
2. Check the connection of the mains cable to the socket.

The battery can no longer be charged.

1. Battery must be replaced with a new one.

Pump capacity decreases
Suction area clogged

Pumping capacity too low
The pump capacity of the pump depends on the lifting height, hose diameter and hose length.

1. Observe max. lifting height, see technical data, if necessary select other hose diameter or other hose length.

The circuit breaker of the HP pump has triggered
The current of the pump was too high.

1. Push the button on the back of the edge bracket holder of the circuit breaker back in so that the circuit breaker is reset.
2. Pump can be started again.
