Fastening the Wall Attachment/Water Tank
Attachment (see figure B)
Fasten the wall attachment (3) next to the water tank. Note
that the distance to the water tank is limited due to the con-
necting cable length.
The distance to the water tank plus the water tank height
may not be larger than the length of the connecting cable.
When mounting the wall attechment to the wall, use the
guide holes to mark the position of the screws.
If wall mounting is not possible, the provided water tank at-
tachment (1) can be attached directly to the rim of the water
tank.
NOTE: The battery control unit is switched off via a thermal
switch at increased temperature. The attachment for the
battery control unit should therefore be mounted in a
shaded position.
Inserting/Removing the Battery Control Unit
(see figure J)
In the case of wall attachment take out the securing
screw (2) from the attachment, attach the battery control
unit from above into the wall attachment and secure it at the
bottom with the clip and securing screw (2).
In case of water tank attachment just clip the battery control
unit on the attachment.
Determining the required length of cable and
connecting hose (see figure C)
Note: The pump needs to be positioned 50 mm above the
base of the tank, clear of any sediment that might damage
the pump.
Measure the height H and the diameter D of the water tank
as well as the distance E from the rim of the tank to the bat-
tery control box.
The length L of the cable calculates as follows:
1
H + D + E – 250 mm
The length L of the connecting hose calculates as follows:
2
H – 130 mm
Wrapping the cable and cutting the connecting
hose (see figure D)
Wrap the excess cable around the pump (11) and secure us-
ing the provided cable clamp (9).

Release the anti-siphon connector (5) with hose attached
from the clamp on the hose guide (4).
Cut the connecting hose to length L
siphon connector (5) on the remaining connecting hose.
Return the anti-siphon connector (5) with hose into the
clamp on the hose guide (4).
You can leave the connecting hose uncut and let the hose
protrude. Please note that for the anti-siphon connector to
function the anti-siphon connector needs to be placed to its
original position in the hose guide.
Connecting the hose and cable (see figures E
and K)
Take the 2-pin plug connector on the power cable and align it
with the junction point on the battery control unit and insert
until it is firmly seated.
Screw the union nut onto the connection to secure the plug
and prevent water from entering.
Attach the universal connector (7) on the connecting
hose (6) to the hose connection (12) on the pump.
Placing the pump into the tank and connecting a
garden hose (see figure F)
With the connecting hose attached lower the pump into the
tank.
To aid submersion the pump is fitted with a small vent that
allows air to escape when the pump is placed into water. A
valve closes the vent when the pump is operating which ac-
counts for the noise users may notice if the pump is shaken.
Place the hose guide on the rim of the water tank and ensure
that the pump is in the correct position. If necessary adjust
accordingly.
Attach a garden hose with a standard hose coupling to the
anti-siphon connector (5).
Note: Do not use a hose coupling with auto stop as this may
reduce the flow.
Using closed Rainwater Tanks
The pump can also be used with closed water tanks. De-
pending on the version, use the access points for cable and
hose at the top of the tank. In some cases the openings must
be cut out. Make sure there are no sharp edges/burrs.
