feature. In the case of overload, the motor will switch off independently and on again after cooling down. For
possible causes and their elimination, please refer to the "Maintenance and troubleshooting" section.
8. Automation with special accessories
The present model is capable of rendering the pressure which may be required for automation, should need be. In
this context, the term of "automation" means that the liquid being discharged can be used just as if taken from the
water mains: Simply by opening or shutting water taps or consumer elements.
For automation, you will need an electronic or mechanic control system which can be installed very quickly and
conveniently. As an additional benefit, some of the control systems provide a very effective protection from
damage caused by dry-running since they will cut out the pump in the case of lack of water.
Our range of accessories contains some particularly reliable and proven control systems. For detailed information,
please refer to www.tip-pumpen.de or to your specialised dealer.
9. Maintenance and troubleshooting
Prior to carrying out any maintenance work, the pump must be separated from the electrical
mains. If you fail to separate the unit from mains, there is a risk of an inadvertent start of the
pump.
We decline any liability for damage caused by inappropriate repair attempts. Any damage
caused by inappropriate repair attempts will avoid all warranty claims.
Observing the conditions of use and the ranges of application of the present device will reduce the risk of possible
operational malfunction and contribute to extend the lifetime of your unit. Sand and other abrasive matters
contained in the liquid discharged will speed up the process of wearing and tearing and accelerate the drop in
performance.
If the unit is operated properly, it will not require any maintenance.
If the water pumped is not sufficiently clean, use a brush to remove additional debris from the filter and rinse with
clean water. Cleaning of the hydraulic parts may only be performed by an authorised specialised dealer or
customer service. To avoid any hazard, the replacement of parts must only be done by the manufacturer or a by
an authorised service provider.
Water left in the pump may freeze in case of frost and thus cause considerable damage. Therefore, the pump
must be removed from the liquid being discharged and fully drained when temperatures are below the freezing
point of the liquid. Please store the pump in a dry, frost-protected place.
In the case of malfunction, you should first of all check whether it was caused by an operating error or some other
reason which cannot be attributed to a defect of the device - for instance a power failure.
The list below shows some possible malfunctions of the device, possible causes and tips on their elimination. All
the measures referred to may only be carried out with the pump being separated from the electrical mains. If you
yourself feel unable to eliminate any of these malfunctions, please contact the customer service department or
your point of sales. Any repair beyond the scope specified below must only be performed by qualified staff.
Please bear in mind that all warranty claims will become void in the case of damage caused by inappropriate
repair attempts, and that we decline any liability for any ensuing damage.

ELIMINATION
1. Please use a device complying with GS
(German technical supervisory authority) to
check for the presence of voltage (safety
information to be observed!). Please verify
the correct position of the plug.
2. Separate the pump from the electrical
mains, allow the system to cool down,
eliminate cause.
3. Please contact the customer service
department.
4. Eliminate blocking of pump wheel.
5. Please contact the customer service
department.
1. Remove possible congestion.
2. Remove possible congestion.
3. Remove the kinks or other disturbances in
the connection lines.
4. Eliminate blocking of the check valve (non-
return valve) or replace, if damaged.
5. Immerse the intake inlets of the intake line
into the liquids to be discharged.
6. Modify the installation so that the suction
height will not exceed the maximum value.
