A
Caution!
The max. permissible fluid
temperature is 35 °C.
Pumping liquids containing abrasives
(such as sand) reduces the service
life of the pump.
4. Safety
4.1 Specified conditions of
use
This pump must not be used to supply
drinking water or for pumping foodstuff.
Explosive, flammable, aggressive fluids
or substances detrimental to health and
sewage must not be pumped.
This equipment is not suitable for com-
mercial or industrial use.
Any other use is not as specified. Use
not as specified, alteration of the
machine or use of parts that are not
approved by the equipment manufac-
turer, can cause unforeseeable damage!
4.2 General safety instruc-
tions
Children, juveniles and persons not fam-
ilar with the instructions are not permit-
ted to operate the pump.
When used in swimming pools and gar-
den ponds and their range of protection,
the regulations according to DIN VDE
0100 -702, -738 are to be observed.
Also all local regulations pertaining to
the safe operation of submersible pumps
are to be observed.
The following residual risks do princi-
pally exist when operating submersible
pumps and can not be fully eliminated -
even by employing safety devices.
A
supplier
Hazard by ambient conditions!
Do not use the pump in hazardous loca-
tions or near inflammable liquids and
gases!
B
Danger! Risk of electric shock!
Do not touch the plug with wet hands! To
unplug always pull at the plug, not the
power cable.
Connect only to an earthed outlet that is
properly installed, earthed and tested.
Mains voltage and fuse protection must
correspond to those stated in the "Tech-
nical Specications".
Protection must be provided by a resid-
ual current device (RCD) of max. 30 mA
capacity.
Use only extension cables of sufficient
lead cross section (see "Technical Spec-
ifications"). Unroll cable reels fully.
Do not buckle, squeeze, drag or drive
over power cable and extension cables;
protect from sharp edges.
Place extension cable so that it can not
get into the fluid to be pumped.
Always unplug before servicing the
pump.
A
Danger by pump failings!
Before each use check the pump, espe-
cially the power cable, plug and float
switch for possible damage. Risk of fatal
electric shock!
A damaged pump must be workmanlike
repaired before it can be used again.
Do not attempt to repair the pump your-
self! When repaired inexpertly there is a
hazard of fluid entering the electrical
parts of the pump.
5. Prior to Operation
5.1 Discharge hose connec-
tion
Attach discharge hose to the dis-
charge 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).
The pump must not be submerged
deeper into water than stated in the
"Technical Specifications".
Place pump so that the suction inlet
can not be blocked by foreign
objects (stand on a base, if neces-
sary).
Ensure sufficient upright stability.
A
Caution!
Do not lift pump at the cable or
discharge hose; both are not desig-
ned 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
fluid container. Use a strong rope,
