  3. Push the connection nipple (4) of the hose into the elbow connector (1) until it stops and it engages audibly and visibly. The hose is securely connected to the pump

OPERATION

DANGER! Risk of injury! Injury when the product starts accidentally.

Disconnect the product from the mains before you connect, adjust or transport the product.

To pump water:If the pump cannot be immersed via the handle, the pump must always be immersed via a rope. Attach the rope by pulling it through the eyelets provided and knotting it. Minimum immersion depth during initial operation see 7. TECHNICAL DATA.

Take care that the pump is located where the inlet openings at the suction base are not obstructed neither completely nor partly

Stand the pump on a brick if using in a pond.

If the suction process is close to the minimum water level at start-up, the suction process may take longer.

  1. Immerse the pump.
  2. Connect the pump to the mains. Attention! The pump can start immediately depending on the float switch setting

Automatic mode with float switch [Fig. O1]:

By adjusting the float switch (5) you have the possibility to determine the switching heights. For safe operation, the float switch must be able to move freely around the pump.

To adjust the Cut-in and Cut-out Height [Fig. O1]: 

The maximum cut-in height and minimum cut-out height (see 7. TECHNICAL DATA) can be adjusted by pushing the float switch wire into the float switch lock.

  • The higher the cable is clamped, the higher the cut-in and cut-out height.
  • The shorter the length of cable between the float switch (5) and the float switch lock (A), the lower the cut-in height and the higher the cut-out height.

Push the cable of the float switch (11) into one of the openings of the float switch lock (A).

Check that the pump switches off automatically

CAUTION!

In order to ensure that the float switch is able to switch on and off, the cable length between the float switch and the float switch lock must be at least 10 cm.

Manual operation [Fig. O2]: 

The pump remains permanently in operation because the float switch is bypassed.

  1. Slide the float switch (5) with the cable downwards onto the float switch locking device (A).
  2. Place the pump on a firm surface.
  3. Connect the pump to the mains.Attention! The pump begins operating immediately

The pump runs permanently without dry-running protection due to the bypassed float switch. To avoid damage due to dry running, only operate under supervision.

The minimum residual water depth (see 7. TECHNICAL DATA) is only achieved in manual mode because the float switch already switches off the pump before this when in automatic mode.
