• The pumping of aggressive, abrasive (scouring), corrosive, flammable (e.g. motor fuels) or explosive liquids, salt water, cleaning agents and foodstuffs is not permitted.

• Store the device in a dry place and out of reach of children.

• The temperature of the pumped liquid shall not exceed 35°C.

• Do not work with a damaged, incomplete or modified device without the manufacturer’s consent. Before commissioning, have a specialist check that the required electrical protective measures are in place.

• Supervise the device during operation in order to detect automatic shutdown or dry-running of the pump in good time. Check the function of the float switch regularly. Failure to do so will invalidate warranty and liability claims.

• Please note that the pump is not suitable for continuous operation (e.g. for watercourses in garden ponds). Check the device regularly for proper functioning.

• Please note that lubricants are used in the device, which may cause damage or contamination due to leakage. Do not use the pump in garden ponds with fish or valuable plants. If lubricants leak out, they may contaminate the liquid.

• Do not use the cable or hose to carry or fasten the device.

• Protect the device from frost and dry-running.

• Only use original accessories and do not make any modifications to the device.

• The mains plug must remain freely accessible when operating the device.

• Before you put your new pump into operation, have it professionally checked for: earthing, connection of the neutral line and residual current circuit breaker must comply with the safety regulations of the power supply companies and function properly, and protect the electrical plug connections from moisture.

• If there is a risk of flooding, fit the plug connections in the flood-proof area.

• Ensure that the mains voltage corresponds to the specifications on the type plate.

• Carry out the electrical installation in accordance with national regulations.

• Only connect the device to a mains socket with a residual current device (RCD) with a rated leakage current of no more than 30 mA; fuse at least 6 amps.

• Before each use, check the device, cables and connectors for damage. Defective cables must not be repaired but replaced with new ones. Have damage to your device repaired by a specialist.

• If the connection cable of this unit is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or their service department or a similar qualified person in order to avoid hazards.

• Do not use the cable to pull the plug out of the outlet.

• Protect the cable from heat, oil and sharp edges.

• Do not carry or fasten the device by the cable.

• Use only extension cables that are splash-proof and intended for outdoor use. Always unroll a cable drum completely before use. Check the cable for damage.

• Disconnect the mains plug from the socket before carrying out any work on the device, as well as during breaks in work and when not in use.

• Mains connection cables shall not have a smaller cross-section than rubber hose lines with the designation H05 RN8-F. The cable length must be 10 m. The conductor core cross-section of the extension cable must be at least 1.5 mm².

Connecting the hose:

1. Screw the pump connection bend (4) onto the pressure connection of the pump (5).

2. Screw the hose connection nozzle (3) onto the pump connection bend (4).

3. Push the hose over the hose connection nozzle (3) and fasten it with a hose clamp. Or use a screw connection on the pump connection bend (4) or on the hose connection nozzle (3).

Attention! Note that in the case of heavily contaminated water in which particles that reach the maximum particle size of 30 mm are floating, this can lead to blockages. In such cases, use a sufficiently large hose in conjunction with the largest connection option.

Fitting of the float switch:

1. The float switch (8) can be latched into place or freely suspended.

2. The freely suspended float switch (8) is used to prevent the pump from running dry and to prevent possible damage.

3. The latched in float switch (3) allows pumping down to 10 mm from ground level.

Attention! Always keep an eye on the pump when the float switch (8) is latched into place so that you can switch it off before it runs dry.

ATTENTION! Always make sure the product is fully assembled before commissioning!

Set-up / suspension:

• The pump well should have dimensions of at least 45 x 45 x 45 cm so that the float switch (8) can move freely.

• The product can be suspended by the carrying handle (1) or placed on the shaft floor.

• You can use a rope to hang up and/or pull out the pump.

• For safe suspension, loop the rope around two of the grips of the carrying handle (1) and feed it upwards through the carrying handle (1).

• Never hang the product by the hose.

• Dip the pump in the liquid to be pumped at a 45 degree angle initially (to reduce the amount of air trapped in the pump body). If the pump is resting on the ground, make sure it is on a flat and stable surface.

• Make sure that there are no people in the liquid to be pumped.

• Connect the pump to the mains.

Check the function of the float switch:

• The float switch (8) is to be set such that immediate start-up is possible. In the case of stationary installation, the function of the float switch (8) must be checked regularly (at least every three months).

• The on or off switching point of the float switch (8) can be adjusted by changing the position of the float switch (8) in the float switch clip (7).

• The float switch (8) must be positioned in such a way that the switching point height “On” and the switching point height “Off” can be reached easily and with little effort.

• Check this by placing the pump in a container filled with water and carefully lifting the float switch (8) by hand and then lowering it again. In doing so, you can see whether the pump switches on or off. Also make sure that the distance between the float switch head and the float switch clip (7) is not too small. If the distance is too small, proper functioning is not guaranteed.

• When adjusting, make sure that the float switch (8) does not touch the floor before the pump is switched off. Attention! Danger of dry-running and damage to the product.

Attention! Disconnect the mains plug before carrying out any cleaning work.

General cleaning tasks:

• Non-stationary installed products: Clean the pump with clean water after each use.

• Stationary installed products: Check the function of the float switch (8) regularly (at least every three months).

• Remove lint and fibrous particles that may have become trapped in the pump housing with a water jet.

• Regularly remove sludge from the base plate (every 3 months at the latest) and clean the shaft walls.

• Clean the float switch (8) of deposits with clean water.

• If you have not used the pump for a longer period of time, the pump must be cleaned thoroughly after the last use and before its next use.

Cleaning the impeller wheel:

If the impeller is dirty or blocked, you can clean it via the pump pressure connection (5) or by unscrewing the suction strainer (6):

1. Unscrew the pump connection bend (4) at the pressure connection of the pump (3).

2. Remove the screws on the underside of the pump housing and take off the suction strainer (6).

3. Clean the impeller wheel with clear water.

4. The re-assembly takes place in reverse order.
