CONCERNING
THE OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
Please read these operating
instructions carefully. Follow the
information given. Use the operating
instructions to get acquainted with
the proper use of your submersible
pump.
For safety reasons, people who are
not familiar with these operating
instructions should not use this
submersible pump.
Following the operating instructions
supplied by the manufacturer is a
prerequisite for the proper use of
the pump.
APPLICATION RANGE AND
LIQUIDS TO BE PUMPED
Submersible pumps have
been designed for private
use around your house and
garden. Submersible pumps are
predominantly used for drainage
after flooding, transfer of liquids,
draining containers, taking water
from wells and shafts, draining
boats and yachts as well as for
water aeration and circulation for
limited period of time.
The pumps are fully submersible
(waterproof sealed) and can
be submerged down to a depth
according technical details.
Liquids which can be handled by the
submersible pump are the following
clean or slightly contaminated water
(maximum particle size of 5mm or
0.5mm) and soapy water.
Corrosive, easily combustible or
explosive substances (for example
gasoline, petroleum, nitro thinner),
fats, oils, salt and waste water
of toilets and urinals must not be
pumped.
The temperature of liquid handled
should not exceed 35ºC.
The pumps are not designed for
continuous operating (for example
continuous circulating operation);
your pump's life will be shortened
correspondingly by such operation.

MEASURES BEFORE
OPERATION.
HOSE CONNECTION
Screw the supplied fittings onto the
pump, as described. The universal
fitting allows connection of 32mm
(1 ¼"), 25mm (1"), according to
your individual requirements, 32mm
(5/4") are connected to the pump
via the step nipples of the universal
fitting.
It is recommended to fix 32mm
(5/4") and 25mm (1") hoses
additionally with a hose clamp.
Components of the universal fitting
which you don't require (when
connecting 32mm (1 ¼")) hoses
are detached with a knife from the
universal fitting.
Best results in delivery capacity are
achieved when using 32mm (1 ¼")
hoses.
FLOAT SWITCH
ADJUSTMENT
The float switch automatically
switches on the pump at a water
height of approximately 53cm and
automatically switches off at a water
height of approximately 5cm by
fixing the float switch cable to the
float switch lock. The cut in/cut out
height can be adjusted individually.
LOCATION
AND TRANSPORT
Please take care that the pump
is located in a stable position
(especially for automatic operation).
In addition pay attention that in case
of automatic operation the float
switch can move free.
Take care that the pump is located
in a way ensuring that the inlet
openings at the suction base are
obstructed neither completely nor
partly. Therefore, it is advisable to
place the pump for example on a
brick.
Don't use power cable or float
switch for carrying or hanging up
the pump. When submerging the
pumps is wills or shafts, please use
a rope which is to be fastened to the
pump's carrying handle.
OPERATION.
AUTOMATIC OPERATION
After having connected the power
cable, the pump is automatically
switched on at a definite water
height (cut in height) and switches
off as soon as the water level drops
down to a definite water height (cut
out height).
MANUAL OPERATION
In case of manual operation the
submersible pump starts when the
power cable has been connected
and the float switch has been lifted.
SAFETY HINTS BEFORE
OPERATION
For safety reasons the submersible
pump should always be operated
via a circuit breaker safety switch
with rated fault current of 30mA.
According to VDE 0100, using
garden ponds and fountains is only
permissible if the pump is operated
via a circuit breaker safety switch.
