Initial startup
DANGER
Risk of electric shock and risk of injury!
The device contains electrical and mechanical compo-
nents.
Always disconnect the device from the power supply
before assembling, disassembling or cleaning.
Note

ter, the higher the delivery rate.
To avoid clogging the pump, use a pre-filter for hose di-
ameters smaller than 1 ¼".

● SP 22000 Dirt Integrated in the foot
The pump connection is equipped with a plug system
(Quick-Connect).
The connection nozzle with pump connecting piece
G 1 ½ and G 1 threaded connection are supplied unas-
sembled with the device.
Note
Hoses with a diameter of 1", 1 ¼" and 1 ½" can be con-
nected to the pump connecting piece G 1 ½.
A sufficiently large hose diameter must be selected and
the G 1 ½ pump connecting piece must be shortened at
the grooves so that the required particle size can be
pumped. A large hose diameter is also recommended
for smaller particle sizes to allow a high flow volume.
Connecting a hose to the pump when using a 1",
1 ¼" or 1 ½" hose:
1 Screw the G 1 ½ pump connecting piece onto the
connection nozzle.

2 Push the hose clamp onto the hose.
3 Push the hose onto the G 1 ½ pump connecting
piece and fasten it with a hose clamp.
4 Push the connection nozzle into the Quick-Connect.
Illustration C
Connecting a hose to the pump when using a ¾" or
1" hose (SP 16000 Dirt):
1 Screw the G 1 threaded connection onto the con-
nection nozzle.
2 Fit the special accessory G 1 pump connecting
piece(6.997-359.0 pump connecting piece G 1
(33.3 mm) incl. check valve - not included in the
scope of delivery) onto the G 1 threaded connec-
tion:
a Place the check valve on the G 1 threaded con-
nection so that the lettering "UP" is legible.
b Screw the pump connecting piece G 1 onto the
G 1 threaded connection.
3 Push the hose clamp onto the hose.
4 Push the hose onto the pump connecting piece G 1
and fasten it with a hose clamp.

Erecting/immersing the pump:
1 Fit the height adjustment of the float switch into the
lock.
Illustration D
2 Place the pump securely on solid ground in the
pumped liquid or immerse it via a rope attached to
the carrying handle.
Note
The suction area must not be blocked by soiling. If the
ground is muddy, place the pump on a brick or similar.
10
Make sure that the pump stands level. Do not carry the
pump using the cable or hose.
DANGER
Danger of death from electric shock.
Danger of death from electric shock if live parts are
touched.
During operation, do not touch the rope attached to the
carrying handle or any objects that are in contact with
the pumped liquid (e.g. pipelines protruding into the
pumped liquid, railings) and do not reach into the
pumped liquid.
Automatic venting device
1. If the fluid level is low, any sucked-in air, or air pres-
ent in the pump, may escape via the automatic vent-
ing device. Fluid can also leak along with air.
If the pump has problems with suction when the fluid
level is low, unplug and plug in the mains plug re-
peatedly to assist the suction process.
Illustration E
1. Adjust the float switch via the height adjustment and
the cable length.
Note
If the pump is operated unattended, always set the float
switch to the top position to ensure reliable pump
switch-off.
Illustration F
Note
When the pump is set to the lowermost position, set the
cable length between the float switch and the lock to
2.5 cm, see marking on the cable.
Illustration G
2. Plug the mains plug into the socket.
Note
In automatic mode, the float switch controls the pump-
ing process automatically.
The pump switches on as soon as the float switch
reaches the switch-on height caused by the rising fluid
level.
The pump switches off as soon as the float switch
reaches the switch-off height caused by the sinking fluid
level.
The float switch must be able to move freely.
The cable length between the float switch and the lock-
ing device must be at least 2.5 cm.
