Operation
Note: If the base of the water container is lined with solids, dirt, or debris, elevate the pump from
the bottom of the water container using a stable platform.
Switching ON & OFF
1. Ensure that the pump is situated in a secure location, inside the water container, with the Pump
Unit (8) entirely submerged (Fig. I).
2. Plug the power cord into the mains power socket.
3. Switch the mains ON. The pump will start automatically.
4. To switch the pump OFF, switch OFF at the mains.
Float Switch
•
The Float Switch (10) prevents the pump running dry if the water level becomes too low
(15mm depth).
IMPORTANT: Ensure the Float Switch is not obstructed.
•
The pump will switch OFF when the Float Switch is at a downward angle away from the Pump
Unit (8) (Fig. III).
•
To adjust the water level that the pump will switch OFF, shorten the Float Switch cable using the
Lower Cable Clip (11) (Fig. IV).

Maintenance
WARNING: ALWAYS disconnect from the power supply before carrying out any inspection,
maintenance or cleaning.
General inspection
•
Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight.
•
Inspect the supply cord of the appliance, prior to each use, for damage or wear. Repairs should
be carried out by an authorised Silverline service centre. This advice also applies to extension
cords used with this appliance.
Cleaning
•
Keep the appliance clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal parts to wear quickly and
will shorten the machine's service life.
•
Clean the body of the machine with a soft brush or dry cloth. If available, use clean, dry,
compressed air to blow through the ventilation holes.
•
Clean the appliance casing with a soft damp cloth using a mild detergent. Do not use alcohol,
petrol or strong cleaning agents.
•
Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
Cleaning the filter
1. To gain access to the air filter element, remove the 4 x Phillips head screws from the Suction
Base (9) to release the base from the body of the pump.
2. Check for obstructions within the exposed area, such as small stones or gravel.
3. Remove the filter element and wash using clean water; check the Suction Base cover for any
debris, remove the debris, and wash with clean water.
Note: If the pump has been used to pump chlorinated water or any liquid with residues, the pump
should be rinsed after use with clean water.
Brushes
•
Over time the carbon brushes inside the motor may become worn.
•
Excessively worn brushes may cause loss of power or intermittent failure.
•
If you suspect that the brushes may be worn, have them replaced at an authorised Silverline
service centre.
