• 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 maximum tripping
current of 30mA and a maximum 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.
Note: This pump is equipped with an automatic de-aerating device, which removes air from the
pump . If the water level drops below the Air Vent Valve (3), a small amount of water will penetrate
through the Air Vent Valve . This is not a defect of the pump, but serves to remove air from the pump .
Float Switch operation
• After set up is complete and the pump is connected to the power supply, it will operate
automatically and will start pumping provided the water level is sufficient
• As the water level drops to minimum safe level, the pump will automatically switch 'OFF'
Manual operation
• To manually operate the pump, connect to the power supply and manually lift the Float Switch
(2) to switch the pump 'ON'
WARNING: Dry-running operation causes increased wear and is to be avoided . The pump must be
immediately switched 'OFF' when water fails to flow.
Note: If the pump is allowed to run dry it may not start to pump water again immediately once
water levels are restored . In this case, switch the pump 'OFF' for a short time then switch back 'ON' .
This will restore proper operation of the Air Vent Valve (3) .
