Only use the device in private households.
Intended use:
Danger of death and risk of damage when pumping explosive, flammable or unsuitable substances! Flammable or explosive substances may ignite or explode.
Unsuitable substances can damage the pump. Do not pump explosive, flammable or corrosive liquids or gases (e.g. fuels, petroleum, nitro thinner) and do not pump fats, oils, salt water or waste water from sanitary facilities or water that has a lower flowing ability than clean water.
Permissible feed fluids:
ATTENTION
Risk of damage due to frost!
Operation during frost may damage the device. An incompletely emptied device can be damaged by frost.
Do not operate the device during frost.
Protect the device from frost.
ATTENTION
Risk of damage during continuous operation!
The device is not suitable for continuous operation.
Do not operate the device continuously for long periods (e.g. continuous circulation operation in ponds) or as a stationary installation (e.g. as a water lifting system, fountain pump).
Note
The manufacturer accepts no liability for possible damage caused by improper use or incorrect operation.
ATTENTION
Only use original accessories and original spare parts. They ensure that the appliance will run fault-free and safely.
Information on accessories and spare parts can be found at www.kaercher.com.
The scope of delivery for the appliance is shown on the packaging. Check the contents for completeness when unpacking. If any accessories are missing or in the event of any shipping damage, please notify your dealer.
llustration A
*Not included in the scope of delivery.
Risk of electric shock and risk of injury! The device contains electrical and mechanical components.
Always disconnect the device from the power supply before assembling, disassembling or cleaning.
Note
The shorter the hose length and larger the hose diameter, the higher the delivery rate.
To avoid clogging the pump, use a pre-filter for hose diameters smaller than 1 ¼'.
The pump connection is equipped with a plug system (Quick-Connect).
The connection nozzle with pump connecting piece G 1 ½ and G 1 threaded connection are supplied unassembled with the device.
Note
Hoses with a diameter of 1', 1 ¼' and 1 ½' can be con-nected to the pump connecting piece G 1 ½. A sufficiently large hose diameter must be selected and the G 1 ½ pump connecting piece must be shortened at the grooves so that the required particle size can be pumped. A large hose diameter is also recommended for smaller particle sizes to allow a high flow volume.
Connecting a hose to the pump when using a 1', 1 ¼' or 1 ½' hose:
Connecting a hose to the pump when using a ¾' or 1' hose (SP 16.000 Dirt):
Erecting/immersing the pump:
Note
The suction area must not be blocked by soiling. If the ground is muddy, place the pump on a brick or similar.
Make sure that the pump stands level. Do not carry the pump using the cable or hose.
Danger of death from electric shock. Danger of death from electric shock if live parts are touched.
During operation, do not touch the rope attached to the carrying handle or any objects that are in contact with the pumped liquid (e.g. pipelines protruding into the pumped liquid, railings) and do not reach into the pumped liquid.
Note
If the pump is operated unattended, always set the float switch to the top position to ensure reliable pump switch-off.
Illustration F
Note
When the pump is set to the lowermost position, set the cable length between the float switch and the lock to 2.5 cm, see marking on the cable.
Illustration G
Note
In automatic mode, the float switch controls the pumping process automatically.
The pump switches on as soon as the float switch reaches the switch-on height caused by the rising fluid level.
The pump switches off as soon as the float switch reaches the switch-off height caused by the sinking fluid level.
The float switch must be able to move freely. The cable length between the float switch and the locking device must be at least 2.5 cm.
Switch-on height / switch-off height (float switch in lowest position):
Min / Max | SP 16.000 Dirt | SP 22.000 Dirt |
Switch-on height cm* | 18 / 21 | 20 / 24 |
Switch-off height cm* | 4 / 12 | 6 / 15 |
Switch-on height / switch-off height (float switch in uppermost position):
Min / Max | SP 16.000 Dirt | SP 22.000 Dirt |
Switch-on height cm* | 28 / 31 | 33 / 36 |
Switch-off height cm* | 14 / 22 | 19 / 27 |
* The switching heights vary depending on the position of the float switch and the cable length between the float switch and the lock. We recommend retaining the set cable length.
Note
In manual mode, the pump stays switched on. The fluid level must be at least 60 mm (SP 16.000 Dirt) or 50 mm (SP 22.000 Dirt) for the pump to prime itself in manual mode. The pump can pump up to a residual fluid height of 25 mm (SP 16.000 Dirt) or 35 mm (SP 22.000 Dirt). The specified residual fluid height is only achieved in manual mode.
The float switch must be able to move freely.
ATTENTION
Risk of damage from dry running!
Dry running leads to increased wear on the pump.
Do not leave the pump unattended in manual operation. In case of dry running, immediately pull the mains plug out of the socket.
Risk of electric shock and risk of injury! The device contains electrical and mechanical components.
Cleaning and user maintenance may not be carried out by children.
ATTENTION
Risk of damage!
Risk of damage due to dried soiling or additives.
Rinse and clean the device immediately after each use.
Risk of electric shock and risk of injury! The device contains electrical and mechanical components.
Always disconnect the device from the power supply before assembling, disassembling or cleaning.
The device is maintenance-free.
Risk of injury from tripping!
