Operation

Risk of mortal danger on account of electric shock! Do not touch the feed fluid and the rope fastened to the carrying handle during operation.

NOTICE
The liquid level must at least be 3 cm for the pump to suck in liquids independently.

If the prerequisites for the pump operation are met (water level, position / level switch), the pump will start immediately after the mains plug has been plugged in.

Comfort operation

In order to run the pump independently of the water level, the level switch must be mounted inside the housing.
Illustration

→Screw the housing bowl and the O-ring onto the drum edge holder.

→Place the level switch into the housing bowl.

→Press the housing cover down onto the housing bowl until it locks.
Illustration

→Slide the drum edge holder onto the container edge until it is properly seated.
Illustration

→ Place the pump on a stable surface in the liquid to be transported. Immerse it using a rope tied to the handle or hang it into the container by the hose. The suction area should not be blocked fully or partially through the impurities.

Automatic operation

In the automatic mode, the level switch automatically controls the pumping operations. The pump switches on or off when the fluid level reaches the height that has been set.

Ensure that the level sensor is not obstructed in any way.
