If this adaptation process is necessary, please perform it prior to connecting the multi-dimensional connection
piece to the pressure port of the pump.
4.3. Stationary installation
If the unit is used in a stationary installation, rigid pipes have proven to be the ideal choice for the pressure lines.
In this type of installation, we recommend that you incorporate a check valve (non-return valve) in the pressure
line immediately following the pump outlet so that no liquid will flow back after the pump cuts out. To facilitate
maintenance work, we also recommend the installation of a stop cock valve downstream of the pump and check
valve. This arrangement is beneficial in that closing the stop cock will prevent the pressure line from running dry
after the disassembly of the pump.
4.4. How to set the floating switch
Please make sure that the pump will cut out as soon as the water level decreases and the
floating switch has reached the cut-out level.
Also, it must be made sure that the floating switch can move freely.
The pump is equipped with a floating switch (2) causing the unit to cut in or out automatically as a function of the
water level as soon as the water level has reached, or dropped below, the cut-out level, the pump will cut out.
When the water level reaches or raises above the cut-in level, the pump will resume operation. The cut-in and cut-
out levels can be adjusted by shortening or lengthening the freely movable cable (3) of the floating switch. The
length of the cable can be set at the cable duct (4) located at the carrying handle (5) of the pump. In this regard,
the relevant part is the freely movable part of the cable leading from the cable duct to the floating switch. If this
length increases, the cut-out level will decrease, and the cut-in level will augment. Vice versa, if its length
decreases, the cut-in level will increase whereas the cut-out level will be lowered.
4.5. How to position the pump
When positioning the pump, please make sure that the max. submersion depth indicated in the technical data will
not be exceeded. Likewise, please make sure that the minimum self-priming level is not fallen short of. If
everything is properly set, the water level may decrease down to the minimum suction level once the pump is
operating. Please position the pump on solid ground. Avoid placing it on lose stones or sand. When positioning
the pump, please do make sure that the pump cannot tip over or sink into the ground with its intake openings (6).
The penetration of sand, mud or comparable matters is to be avoided.
To position, lift up or carry the pump, please use only the carrying handle. If required for lowering or raising the
pump, you may connect a suitable lowering rope to the carrying handle. In no case must the pressure hose, the
mains cable or the cable of the floating switch be used to position, to lift up or to carry the pump.
5. Electrical connection
The unit is equipped with a mains connection cable and a mains plug. It must only be replaced by qualified staff to
avoid any danger. Please do not use the mains connection cable to carry the pump, and do not use this cable to
pull off the plug from the socket, either. Protect the mains connection cable and mains plug from heat, oil or sharp
edges.
The values stated in the technical details have to correspond to the mains voltage. The person
responsible for installation has to verify that the electrical connection is earthed in accordance
with the applicable standards.
The electrical connection has to be equipped with a highly sensitive residual current circuit-
breaker (FI switch): ∆ = 30 mA (DIN VDE 0100-739).
If extension cables are used, their cross-section must not be smaller than that of rubber-
sheathed cables of the H07RN-F (3 x 1,0 mm²) short code. The mains socket and the plug-
and-socket elements have to be in splashwater-proof design.
