SCOPE OF DELIVERY
Thermal protection
Your submersible pump is equipped with a ther-
mal protection switch which automatically swit-
ches off the pump in case of overheating. The
pump will remain off until it has cooled down. After
about 15 - 20 minutes, the pump will automatically
switch on.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION!
Risk of injury!
Use the machine and the extension ca-
ble only in perfect working order. Dama-
ged equipment may not be operated.
Do not disable safety and protective de-
vices!
Children, or people who are not familiar with
the operating instructions, are not allowed to
use the machine.
Never lift, transport or suspend the unit using
the connection cable.
Unilateral modifications or conversions of the
unit are prohibited.
Electrical safety
CAUTION!
Danger when touching voltage con-
ducting parts!
Disconnect the plug from the mains if the
extension cable is damaged or severed!
We recommend connecting a RCD (re-
sidual current operated device) having a
nominal residual current of < 30 mA.
The house mains voltage must agree with the
details quoted in the technical data, do not
use any other supply voltage.
The unit must only be operated with an
electrical installation in accordance with DIN/
VDE 0100, Part 737, 738 and 702 (swimming
pools). Protection must be provided by a 10 A
line protection switch and a RCCD (residual
current operated device) having a nominal re-
sidual current of 10/30 mA.
Use only extension cables that are suitable
for use outdoors - minimum cross-section 1.5
mm . Cable drums should always be unrolled
2
completely.
Damaged or brittle extension cables must not
be used.

Check the condition of your extension
cable each time you start to use the
equipment.

ASSEMBLY

Mounting the pressure line
You can cut off the tip of the multi-size
nipple to fit the diameter of the hose you
are using. Using a hose with the largest
possible diameter will greatly improve
the performance of the pump.
1 Screw the multi-size nipple (10) into the pump
outlet.
2 Attach a hose to the multi-size nipple.
3 Fix the connection cable (3) with cable ties to
the pressure hose.
4 To submerse the pump into a well or cistern,
attach a rope to the rope bracket (4) provided
for this purpose.
5 Uncoil the electric cable completely.
6 Plug the pump into the socket. As soon as Ad-
justing the cut-in and cut-off levels the pump
has reached the cut-in (= START) level, the
float switch will automatically switch the pump
on. When the liquid has fallen below the cut-
off (=STOP) level, the pump will automatically
switch off, see technical data.

STARTUP

Safety
CAUTION!
Take suitable measures, e.g. installation
of an alarm or a back-up pump, to ensure
that flooding will not occur if the pump
should malfunction.
CAUTION!
When placing the pump in the liquid,
make sure to let it down slowly. You may
need to tilt the pump slightly so that air
trapped in the body is released. Set the
pump on the bottom so that it cannot
fall over. If the bottom should be sandy
or muddy or rocky and uneven, place
the pump on a suitable hard, flat surface
or suspend it from a rope attached to a
secure object. Make sure to leave ade-
quate room between the pump and the
bottom so that it cannot suck up solid
matter.
