Intended Use

• Submersible pump designed for domestic, time-limited operation around
the house and garden, predominantly for drainage, transfer of liquids,
draining containers, taking water from wells, draining boats and yachts,
as well as water aeration and circulation. The pump is fully submersible,
to the depth listed in 'Specification', into clean or slightly contaminated
water (see 'Specification' for maximum particle size), swimming pool and
soapy water, up to the maximum temperature listed in 'Specification'.

Unpacking your Tool

• Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Fully familiarise yourself with all
its features and functions
• Ensure all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If any parts
are missing or damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting
to use this tool
• Ensure all packaging materials are removed from the product. Ensure the
water inlet and outlet are clear before use

Before Use

Attaching the outlet hose
• This pump features a Hose Connector (6) that is compatible with multiple
hose diameters: 32mm (1-1/4"), 25mm (1") and 19mm (3/4")
Note: 32mm (1-1/4") hose must be used to achieve maximum delivery
capacity (as stated in 'Specification').
1. Decide which hose diameter you are going to use and determine
where on the Hose Connector (6) this diameter hose is fastened
2. Cut off the smaller steps of the Hose Connector that are not needed,
using a suitable knife (not included). This removes unnecessary flow
restrictions and ensures maximum pump capacity and water flow
3. Fit the hose on to the Hose Connector and secure with a hose clip
(not included)
Note: It is recommended to use stainless steel hose clips to prevent
corrosion.

Setting up the pump
1. Attach a suitable rope to the Lifting Handle (5), to lower the pump into
the water, to adjust its position when submerged, and to lift the pump
back out of the water
2. Locate a position for submerging the pump - where the float switch
can move freely - if automatic operation is required
3. Ensure a safe path for the power cable, where it cannot be damaged,
does not pose a hazard, and where it can safely reach the mains
power supply (also see 'Electrical connection')
4. Observe the maximum head height (see 'Specification'). Keep the hose
as short and straight as possible. Ensure it does not kink as this would
restrict the water flow
WARNING: Kinked or otherwise obstructed hoses lead to reduced pump
capacity and may lead to pump damage through overheating.
Adjusting the Float Switch
• Attach the Float Switch (2) cable to
the Float Switch Lock (4), to adjust
the cut-in cut-out height
Submerging and lifting the
pump
• The pump must be submerged below
the water level (see 'Specification')
• Use the rope attached to the Lifting
Handle (5) to position the pump
underwater. NEVER attempt to move
the pump by pulling or manipulating the power cable
• Ensure that the pump sits vertically on even ground. Check that the Water
Inlets (1) are not obscured in any way. If the bottom surface is soft, the
pump should be supported on a flat object or be suspended using the
rope attached to the handle
• ONLY use the rope to lift the pump out of the water after use
Electrical connection
WARNING: NEVER touch the power cable, plug or mains socket with wet
hands.
WARNING: This pump will operate immediately once it is supplied with
power. It will also switch on when dry if the Float Switch (2) is in certain
positions; this must be avoided to prevent damage to the device and
potential user injury.
• Always check the pump, the power cable and plug, before each
operation. DO NOT use if you detect any damage or wear, and have the
cable replaced by an authorised Silverline service centre
• The power cable MUST be connected to a plug socket that is located well
above water level, protected from flooding
• If using an extension lead, only use compatible, outdoors rated
extensions with waterproof joints
• ONLY connect this pump to compatible plug sockets with suitable ingress
protection (outdoor rated)
• Connect this pump exclusively to power points protected by a RCD with a
max. tripping current of 30mA and a max. delay of 40ms
Note: According to VDE, the use of electrical pumps in garden ponds,
fountains and swimming pools is only permitted if the pump is operated via
an RCD. Installation regulations according to VDE 0100, part 072, have to be
observed. If in doubt, please contact a qualified electrician
Operation
WARNING: Only use when sufficiently submerged in water. Remove from
the water when not in use.
WARNING: DO NOT use this pump, and remove from liquid, when
temperatures are close to the point of freezing.
WARNING: Do not allow the pump to operate continuously for more than 5
hours at a time. After 5 hours, disconnect and allow to fully cool.
Note: This pump is protected by a built-in thermal motor protector. It will
switch off if overheating occurs. Once sufficiently cooled, the motor will
automatically switch on again.
