
ADJUSTING THE FLOATING SWITCH
o The float switch enables the automatic start of the pump.
o When the water rises to reach approximately 35cm, the pump starts up.
o When water level has lowered to approximately 15 cm, the pump will stop
automatically
o By shortening the length of the cable between the pump and the float, it is possible to
modify the water heights that trigger starting and stopping of the pump.
o To adjust the cut-in/cut-out height, fix the float switch cable to the float switch lock
provided for this purpose, located at the top of the pump.
o Adjust the cable to the required length.

START-UP
o The pump must be in a vertical position: ensure that it is stable during operation.
o Ensure that the float switch can move freely.
o The suction holes must never be obstructed. It is therefore preferable that the pump
be never placed directly on the ground or on the bottom of the well, pond or vessel.
o Warning: to dry out premises (cellar draining for example) it will be necessary
to place the pump below floor level.
o In automatic functioning mode, connect pump to mains power. The pump will start
and stop as soon as the float switch reaches the pre-set heights.
o In manual functioning mode, connect pump to mains power. Raise the float switch to
start the pump, lower it again to stop the pump. In this case, the minimum pumping
water height may be reduced.
o Warning: never operate the pump empty.

ADVICES FOR USERS
If discharge stops although the pump continues to function, switch it off immediately.
o
Unplug the pump from the mains and check to see what is causing the problem. Never
attempt to remove the turbine when the pump is still connected to the power supply.
The pump is fitted with a motor protected by a thermal safety with auto reset. In the
o
event of overheating, the motor stops automatically. As soon as the temperature
returns to normal, the motor restarts.
Never place hands anywhere near the turbine during this phase. If remedial action is
o
necessary, always unplug the pump from the power supply first.
EQS pumps have a float switch for automatic operation or manual operation. Only in
o
this position will ensure that the vacuum pump up to 2-3 mm.
The pumps (XKS-750SW,XKS1100SW) are also fitted with an automatic bleed device
o
to evacuate any air that might have got into the suction circuit.
When the water level drops below the vent located in the middle of the pumps body,
o
water is evacuated by this hole so as to automatically bleed the circuit: this is not a
fault, but corresponds to a normal function of the pumps.

MAINTENANCE
o In winter the pump must be thoroughly drained or kept in "frost free" conditions.
o Regularly rinse out the pump with clean water, including the suction circuit.
o Avoid pumping liquid containing abrasive materials such as sand.
o Before each re-use, ensure that all parts of the pump are in good working order.
o Clean plastic parts with a soft clean cloth.
o Do not use aggressive cleansers or an abrasive sponge.

BREAKDOWN
o Never attempt to dismantle the pump.
