ENGLISH
be located in an area safe against
flooding.

Use only extension cables of suffi-
cient lead cross section (see "Tech-
nical Specifications"). Unroll cable
reels fully.

Do not buckle, squeeze, drag or
drive over power cable and exten-
sion cables; protect from sharp
edges.

Place extension cable so that it can-
not get into the liquid to be pumped.

Unplug:
 Prior to all servicing;
 when persons are in the swim-
ming pool or garden pond.

A
Danger by pump failings!

If you notice transport damage while
unpacking, notify your
immediately. Do not operate the
machine!

Before each use check the pump,
especially power cable and plug for
possible damage. Risk of fatal elec-
tric shock!

A damaged pump must be work-
manlike repaired before it can be
used again.

Do not attempt to repair the pump
yourself! When repaired inexpertly
there is a hazard of liquid entering
the electrical parts of the pump.
A
Caution!
To avoid water damage, e.g.
flooded rooms, caused by pump mal-
functions or defects:

provide for suitable safety measures
such as the following:
 alarm or
 collection tank with monitoring.
The manufacturer is not liable for any
damage caused by:
 improper use of the pump;
 overloading of the pump through
continous operation;
 failure to operate and store the
pump in a frost-free environment;
 unauthorised modification of the
pump (repairs to electrical equip-
ment may only be carried out by
qualified electricians!);
 use of spare parts which have not
been tested and approved by the
manufacturer; or
 use of unsuitable installation materi-
als (fittings, connection lines etc.).
Suitable installation materials:
 pressure-resistant (min. 10 bar)
 heat-resistant (min. 100°C).

5. Prior to Operation

5.1 Discharge hose connec-
tion

Connect discharge hose with hose
barb or connector supplied to the
discharge port (8).

5.2

Installation


Required space is approx. 50 cm x
50 cm (for the float switch to operate
properly it must be able to move
freely).

Pump must not be submerged
deeper into water then stated in the
"Technical Specifications".

Place pump fully submerged.

Place pump so that the suction inlet
will not be blocked by foreign
objects (stand on a base, if neces-
sary).

Ensure sufficient upright stability.
Caution! 
A
Do not lift pump at cable or dis-
charge hose; both are not designed
for the tensile load by the weight of
the pump.
1. Submerge pump at an angle to
avoid an air cushion at the under-
side, which would prevent priming.
Once the pump is submerged, it can
be set into an upright position.
2. Lower pump to the bottom of the liq-
uid container. Use a strong rope,
fastened to the cable eye, to lower
the pump. 
The pump can also be operated
when suspended by a rope.

To start the submersible pump plug
power cable in.

Unplug to stop the pump.

6. Operation

6.1

Switching ON and OFF

After connection to the mains, the sub-
mersible pump is automatically switched
ON and OFF by the float switch:

It starts pumping when the liquid has
lifted the float switch fully (9).

The pump switches OFF when the
float switch has fallen down (10).

The cable for the float switch can be
moved in the cable holder (11) to adjust
the distance between the switching ON
and OFF positions:
 "Short" float switch cable: ON and
OFF positions are close together.
 "Long" float switch cable: ON and
OFF positions are quite apart.
Caution! 
A
The float switch must be able
to move in such way that the pump
cannot run dry.
6.2 Pump characteristic
curve
The pump characteristic curve shows
which pump capacity is possible in
dependance on the delivery head.

7. Care and Maintenance

Danger! 
A
Prior to all servicing:
 Switch Off.
 Unplug.
Service and repair work other than
described here must be left to quali-
fied specialists.
