Funktion
Die Tauchpumpe saugt das Fördermedium durch
die Ansaugöffnungen des verstellbaren Saug-
korbs an und fördert zum Pumpenausgang. Bei
Saugkorb in Stellung "Unten" kann Klar- und
Schmutzwasser gefördert werden, bei Saugkorb
in Stellung "Oben" nur Klarwasser.
Thermoschutz
Die Tauchpumpe ist mit einem Thermoschalter
ausgestattet, der die Pumpe bei Überhitzung
abschaltet. Nach einer Abkühlphase von ca. 15 -
20 Minuten schaltet die Pumpe selbsttätig wieder
ein. Betreiben Sie die Pumpe nur im eingetauch-
ten Zustand.
Geräteaufstellung, Inbetrieb-
nahme
Druckleitung montieren
1. Schrauben Sie den Anschlusswinkel (6) in
den Pumpenausgang ein.
2. Schrauben Sie den Kombinippel (5) in den
Anschlusswinkel (6) ein.
3. Befestigen Sie einen Schlauch am Kombi-
nippel.
Der Kombinippel kann entsprechend dem
gewählten Schlauchanschluss abge-
schnitten werden. Die beste Förderleis-
tung wird durch Verwenden des größt-
möglichen Schlauchdurchmessers er-
reicht.
4. Wickeln Sie das Anschlusskabel ganz ab.
Stellen Sie sicher, dass elektrische
Steckverbindungen im überflutungssiche-
ren Bereich angebracht sind.
Tauchen Sie die Pumpe langsam in das
Fördermedium ein. Halten Sie die Pumpe
dabei leicht schräg, damit eventuell ein-
geschlossene Luft durch die Entlüftungs-
bohrung entweichen kann (entlüften).
Dabei entstehen Luftblasen unter Wasser.
Beim erstmaligen Eintauchen der Pumpe
kann es einige Sekunden dauern bis die
Luft entweicht.
Achten Sie auf sicheren Stand der Pum-
pe. Stellen Sie die Pumpe bei schlammi-
gem, sandigem oder steinigem Unter-
grund auf eine geeignete Platte, oder
betreiben Sie die Pumpe an einem Seil
hängend. Achten Sie auf ausreichenden
Abstand zum Grund.
Die Pumpe darf keine Festkörper ansau-
gen. Sand und andere schmirgelnde
Stoffe im Fördermedium zerstören die
Pumpe. Befestigen Sie zum Eintauchen
der Pumpe in Brunnen und Schächten ein
Seil am Tragegriff. Achten Sie bei
Schächten auf ausreichende Dimensio-
nierung, siehe Bild B.
Decken Sie Schächte trittsicher ab.
Saugkorb verstellen (Bild D)
1. Saugkorb durch Drehen nach rechts ausras-
ten (1), nach oben oder unten verstellen (2)
und durch Drehen nach links wieder einras-
ten (3).
Automatikbetrieb
Ein- und Ausschalthöhe siehe technische
Daten.
Stellen Sie im Automatikbetrieb den
Saugkorb in Stellung "Unten", um die
größtmögliche Förderleistung zu errei-
chen.

1. Stecken Sie den Netzstecker in die Steckdo-
se und den Betriebswahlschalter auf "AUTO"
(Bild F). Die Pumpe schaltet bei Erreichen
eines bestimmten Wasserstandes (Ein-
schalthöhe) durch den Schwimmerschalter
automatisch ein und beim Abfallen des
Wasserstandes auf die Ausschalthöhe wie-
der ab, siehe technische Daten.
D 3 Original-Betriebsanleitung
Schließen Sie durch geeignete Maßnah-
men aus, dass bei Störungen an der
Pumpe Folgeschäden durch die Überflu-
tung von Räumen entstehen. Dies ist
beispielsweise durch die Installation einer
Alarmanlage oder einer Reservepumpe
sicherzustellen.
Lassen Sie die Pumpe nicht gegen eine
geschlossene Druckleitung laufen.
Manueller Betrieb
Im manuellen Betrieb kann das Wasser
bis auf eine Restwasserhöhe von ca.
5 mm abgepumpt werden.
Der Mindestwasserstand zur Inbetrieb-
nahme muss 6 cm betragen.
Abpumpen auf Restwasserhöhe
Zum Abpumpen auf Restwasserhöhe den Saug-
korb in Stellung "Oben“ bringen und wie folgt
vorgehen:
1. Stecken Sie den Netzstecker in die Steckdo-
se und stellen den Betriebswahlschalter auf
"MAN" (Bild F). Die Pumpe beginnt zu för-
dern.
Ist die Wasserhöhe niedriger als 6 cm,
wird das Abpumpen beschleunigt, wenn
Sie die Pumpe nach ca. 30 s Betrieb für
1-2 s aus- und wieder einschalten. Wie-
derholen Sie dies ggf. mehrmals.
Beaufsichtigen Sie die Pumpe beim
Abpumpen auf Restwasserhöhe ständig
und vermeiden Sie den Trockenlauf der
Pumpe. Setzen Sie die Pumpe bei Errei-
chen der Restwasserhöhe durch Um-
schalten des Betriebswahlschalters auf
"AUTO" außer Betrieb. Die Pumpe schal-
tet sich bei Erreichen der Einschalthöhe
für den Automatikbetrieb wieder ein.
Wird die Restwasserhöhe unterschritten
(kleiner 5 mm) saugt die Pumpe Luft an.
In diesem Fall muss die Pumpe bei an-
steigendem Wasserstand und vor erneu-
tem Betrieb entlüftet werden (siehe Inbe-
triebnahme).
Einstellen der Ein- und Ausschalthöhe
Das Kabel des Schwimmerschalters ist am Pum-
pengehäuse festgeklemmt. Durch Verändern der
Klemmposition können die Schaltpunkte des
Schwimmerschalters individuell eingestellt wer-
den. Empfohlene Kabellänge des Schwimmer-
schalters ca. 120 mm.
Pumpe ausschalten
1. Ziehen Sie den Netzstecker aus der Steck-
dose.
Wartung und Pflege
Vor Beginn jeder Wartungsarbeit ist das
Gerät vom Netz zu trennen und gegen
Wiedereinschalten zu sichern.

Description of the Pump
Submersible pump (Fig. A)
1 Swimmer switch
2 Cable clamp
3 Electric cable
4 Handle
5 Multi-size nipple
6 Elbow connector
7 Pump housing
8 Adjustable suction basket
9 Click-stop screws
Function of the pump
The submersible pump sucks the liquid to be
pumped into the pump through the suction open-
ings of the adjustable suction basket and pumps
it out at the outlet. With the suction basket in
“bottom” setting, clear and wastewater can be
pumped, with the suction basket in “top” setting,
only clear water can be pumped.
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 auto-
matically switch on.
Setting up and Operating the
Pump
Assembling the pressure line
1. Screw the elbow connector (6) into the pump
outlet.
2. Screw the multi-size nipple (5) into the elbow
connector (6).
3. Attach a hose to the multi-size nipple.
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.
4. Uncoil the electric cable completely.
Make sure that any electrical connections
are not exposed to water and do not lie
within the outflow of the pump.
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 through
the outlet holes (air removal). Air bubbles
will appear under the water. When placing
the pump into water for the first time, it
can take several seconds before air is
released.
Pay attention to secure placement of the
pump. If the base 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.
Make sure that the pump does not suck in
solid matter. Sand or other abrasive
particles suspended in the liquid will lead
to increased wear and tear and may
impact the performance of your pump.
Before lowering the pump into a well or a
cistern, attach a rope to the handle. When
placing the pump inside a cistern, make
sure that the shaft is large enough for the
pump to fit. For min. shaft dimensions,
see Figure B.
Place a cover over the cistern so that no
one will fall in.

Adjusting the suction basket (Fig. D)
1. Release the suction basket by turning it to
the right (1), move upwards or downwards
(2) and lock back in by turning it to the
left (3).
Automatic operation
See technical data for cut-in on and cut-
off levels.
In automatic operation, place the suc-
tion basket into the "bottom" position in
order to achieve the greatest possible
pumping output.
1. Plug the pump into the socket and set the
operation selection switch to “AUTO” (Fig.
F). As soon as 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.
GB 3 Translation of original user instructions
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.
Make sure that the pump does not run on
a blocked or closed pressure hose.
Manual operation
In manual operation, the water can be
pumped out up to a residual water level of
approx. 5 mm.
The minimum water level for operation
must be 6 cm.
Pumping out remaining liquid
Before you can pump out any remaining liquid,
set the suction basket to “top” position and pro-
ceed as follows:
1. Plug the electric cable into the socket and
set the operation selection switch to “MAN”
(Fig. F). The pumping will begin.
If the water level is lower than 6 cm the
pumping will be accelerated if, after 30 s
of operation, you switch the pump off and
back on for 1 – 2 s. Repeat this several
times, if necessary.
While pumping out remaining liquid, make
sure to keep the pump under constant
observation and avoid allowing the pump
to suck air. Upon reaching the residual
water level, switch the pump off by
switching the operation selection switch
to “AUTO”. The pump will then switch
back on for automatic operation when the
cut-in level is reached.
If the level of the remaining water drops
below 5 mm, the pump will suck in air.
Before using the pump again to drain
liquid, the air trapped in the pump will
have to be let out (see Setting up and
Operating the Pump).
Adjusting the cut-in and cut-off levels
−The float switch cable is attached to the
pump housing. You can adjust the cut-in =
START and cut-off = STOP levels for opera-
tion by simply changing the height of the
switch as desired. Recommended length of
the float switch cable is approx. 120 mm.
Switching off the Pump
1. To switch off the pump, just pull the plug of
the electric cable from the socket.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Before beginning any maintenance or
cleaning work, make sure that the pump
has been unplugged and take precautions
to ensure that it cannot be switched on
during work!
Cleaning the pump
−If you have used your pump to pump chlorine
water (pool water) or liquids which leave a
residue, flush your pump out with clear water
after use.
−Clean the suction openings of the suction
basket and pump base with clear water as
required.
Dismantling the suction basket (Fig. E)
1. Remove click-stop screws (3) and pull the
suction basket (2) off of the pump base (1).
2. Clean suction basket and pump base.
3. Re-mount suction basket and screw in the
click-stop screws.

Protect from frost
Your pump is susceptible to low temperatures. Make sure to empty the pump of residual liquid
and store it so that it is protected from frost.
Disposal
The device must not be included in household waste, but rather, it must be disposed
of professionally. The appliance, its packaging and accessories are all produced from
recyclable materials and must be disposed of accordingly.

2. Screw the multi-size nipple (5) into the elbow
connector (6).
3. Attach a hose to the multi-size nipple.
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.
4. Uncoil the electric cable completely.
Make sure that any electrical connections
are not exposed to water and do not lie
within the outflow of the pump.
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 through
the outlet holes (air removal). Air bubbles
will appear under the water. When placing
the pump into water for the first time, it
can take several seconds before air is
released.
Pay attention to secure placement of the
pump. If the base 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.
Make sure that the pump does not suck in
solid matter. Sand or other abrasive
particles suspended in the liquid will lead
to increased wear and tear and may
impact the performance of your pump.
Before lowering the pump into a well or a
cistern, attach a rope to the handle. When
placing the pump inside a cistern, make
sure that the shaft is large enough for the
pump to fit. For min. shaft dimensions,
see Figure B.
Place a cover over the cistern so that no
one will fall in.

Adjusting the suction basket (Fig. D)
1. Release the suction basket by turning it to
the right (1), move upwards or downwards
(2) and lock back in by turning it to the
left (3).
Automatic operation
See technical data for cut-in on and cut-
off levels.
In automatic operation, place the suc-
tion basket into the "bottom" position in
order to achieve the greatest possible
pumping output.
1. Plug the pump into the socket and set the
operation selection switch to “AUTO” (Fig.
F). As soon as 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.
GB 3 Traducción del manual de instrucciones original
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.
Make sure that the pump does not run on
a blocked or closed pressure hose.
Manual operation
In manual operation, the water can be
pumped out up to a residual water level of
approx. 5 mm.
The minimum water level for operation
must be 6 cm.
Pumping out remaining liquid
Before you can pump out any remaining liquid,
set the suction basket to “top” position and pro-
ceed as follows:
1. Plug the electric cable into the socket and
set the operation selection switch to “MAN”
(Fig. F). The pumping will begin.
If the water level is lower than 6 cm the
pumping will be accelerated if, after 30 s
of operation, you switch the pump off and
back on for 1 – 2 s. Repeat this several
times, if necessary.
While pumping out remaining liquid, make
sure to keep the pump under constant
observation and avoid allowing the pump
to suck air. Upon reaching the residual
water level, switch the pump off by
switching the operation selection switch
to “AUTO”. The pump will then switch
back on for automatic operation when the
cut-in level is reached.
If the level of the remaining water drops
below 5 mm, the pump will suck in air.
Before using the pump again to drain
liquid, the air trapped in the pump will
have to be let out (see Setting up and
Operating the Pump).
Adjusting the cut-in and cut-off levels
−The float switch cable is attached to the
pump housing. You can adjust the cut-in =
START and cut-off = STOP levels for opera-
tion by simply changing the height of the
switch as desired. Recommended length of
the float switch cable is approx. 120 mm.
Switching off the Pump
1. To switch off the pump, just pull the plug of
the electric cable from the socket.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Before beginning any maintenance or
cleaning work, make sure that the pump
has been unplugged and take precautions
to ensure that it cannot be switched on
during work!
Cleaning the pump
−If you have used your pump to pump chlorine
water (pool water) or liquids which leave a
residue, flush your pump out with clear water
after use.
−Clean the suction openings of the suction
basket and pump base with clear water as
required.
Dismantling the suction basket (Fig. E)
1. Remove click-stop screws (3) and pull the
suction basket (2) off of the pump base (1).
2. Clean suction basket and pump base.
3. Re-mount suction basket and screw in the
click-stop screws.

Protect from frost
Your pump is susceptible to low temperatures. Make sure to empty the pump of residual liquid
and store it so that it is protected from frost.
Disposal
The device must not be included in household waste, but rather, it must be disposed
of professionally. The appliance, its packaging and accessories are all produced from
recyclable materials and must be disposed of accordingly.

Descrizione della pompa
Traduzione delle istruzioni per l‘uso originali I 2
Pompa sommersa (Figura A)
1 Interruttore a galleggiante
2 Ferma cavo
3 Cavo di alimentazione
4 Manico
5 Nipplo multi-portagomma
6 Raccordo a gomito
7 Corpo pompa
8 Succhieruola regolabile
9 Viti di arresto
Funzione
La pompa aspira l'acqua attraverso le aperture di
aspirazione (6) della succhieruola regolabile e la
eroga tramite la bocca di mandata. Se la suc-
chieruola si trova nella posizione “In basso”, è
possibile pompare acqua chiara e liquame, se si
trova nella posizione “In alto” soltanto acqua
chiara.
Protezione termica
La pompa è dotata di un interruttore termico, che
la disinnesta in caso di surriscaldamento. Dopo
una fase di raffreddamento di circa 15-20 minuti,
la pompa si riavvia automaticamente. Utilizzare
la pompa solo se immersa in un liquido.
Installazione e messa in funzione
della pompa
1. Avvitare il raccordo a gomito (6) nella bocca
di mandata.
2. Avvitare il nipplo multi-portagomma (5) al
raccordo a gomito (6).
3. Fissare un tubo al nipplo multi-portagomma.
È possibile tagliare il nipplo multi-
portagomma per adattarlo al raccordo del
tubo prescelto. La portata migliore può
essere raggiunta utilizzando un tubo di
diametro più grande possibile.
4. Svolgere completamente il cavo di alimenta-
zione.
Assicurarsi che le spine elettriche siano
poste in luoghi non soggetti ad inondazio-
ni.
Immergere lentamente la pompa nell'ac-
qua. Mantenere la pompa in posizione
leggermente obliqua, al fine di far fuoriu-
scire l'eventuale aria rimasta all'interno
attraverso gli appositi fori (disaerare). In
questo modo, sotto l’acqua si formano
bolle d’aria. Durante la prima immersione
della pompa potrebbero trascorrere alcuni
secondi prima della fuoriuscita di tutta
l’aria. Fare attenzione al livello di sicurez-
za della pompa. In caso di sottosuolo
fangoso, sabbioso o sassoso è opportuno
mettere la pompa su un apposito piano
oppure azionare la pompa sospesa ad
una corda. Fare in modo di mantenere
una distanza sufficiente da terra.
La pompa non può aspirare alcun corpo
solido. Sabbia e altre sostanze abrasive
presenti nell'acqua distruggono la pompa.
Per le pompe immerse in pozzi e pozzetti
è opportuno fissare una corda al manico.
Nel caso di pozzetti è necessario accer-
tarsi che le dimensioni siano adeguate;
vedere figura B.
Aprire i pozzetti con cautela.
Regolazione della succhieruola
(figura D)
1. Rilasciare la succhieruola ruotandola verso
destra (1), regolarla in alto o in basso (2) e
bloccarla nuovamente ruotandola verso sini-
stra (3).
Funzionamento automatico
Per l’altezza di avvio e arresto, consultare
le caratteristiche tecniche.
Per il funzionamento automatico, colloca-
re la succhieruola nella posizione “In
basso“, per ottenere la massima potenza
di aspirazione possibile.

1. Inserire la spina nella presa di corrente e
impostare il selettore del funzionamento su
“AUTO” (figura F). Quando viene raggiunto
un determinato livello dell'acqua (altezza di
avvio), l'interruttore a galleggiante avvia au-
tomaticamente la pompa e la arresta in caso
di diminuzione del livello dell'acqua sotto l'al-
tezza di arresto. Consultare le caratteristiche
tecniche.
I 3 Traduzione delle istruzioni per l‘uso originali
Osservando misure adeguate, fare in
modo che in caso di guasti alla pompa
non si verifichino danni conseguenti
dovuti all'inondazione di ambienti. Ciò può
essere garantito ad esempio, con l'instal-
lazione di un dispositivo di allarme o di
una pompa di emergenza.
Non far girare la pompa con il tubo di
mandata chiuso o bloccato.
Funzionamento manuale
Nella modalità di funzionamento
manuale l’acqua può essere
pompata finché il livello dell’acqua
residua raggiunge ca. 5 mm.
Il livello minimo dell’acqua per
la messa in funzione della pompa
è 6 cm.
Pompaggio dell'acqua rimanente sopra
il livello d'acqua residua
Per pompare tutta l'acqua rimanente sopra il
livello d'acqua residua, portare la succhieruola
nella posizione “In alto” e procedere come se-
gue:
1. Inserire la spina nella presa di corrente e
portare il selettore del funzionamento su
“MAN” (figura F). La pompa inizia a pompa-
re.
Se il livello dell’acqua è inferiore a 6 cm,
per accelerare il pompaggio occorre
disattivare la pompa per 1-2 secondi
dopo ca. 30 secondo di utilizzo, quindi
riattivarla. Ripetere più volte questa pro-
cedura.
Tenere costantemente sotto controllo la
pompa durante il pompaggio dell'acqua
rimanente per evitare il funzionamento a
secco della pompa. Arrestare la pompa
quando l'acqua è stata completamente
eliminata. Commutare la posizione del
selettore del funzionamento su “AUTO”
fuori servizio. Al raggiungimento del
livello di avvio, la pompa riprende nuo-
vamente il funzionamento automatico.
Se l'altezza di acqua residua è inferiore a
5 mm, la pompa aspira aria. In questo
caso, prima di utilizzarla nuovamente, la
pompa deve essere privata dell'aria
rimasta all'interno del corpo pompa.
(vedere Messa in funzione).
Impostazione dell'altezza di avvio e
arresto
Il cavo dell'interruttore a galleggiante è bloccato
sul corpo pompa. I livelli di avvio e arresto pos-
sono essere regolati cambiando la posizione di
bloccaggio del cavo dell'interruttore a galleggian-
te sulla pompa. La lunghezza consigliata del
cavo dell'interruttore a galleggiante è di circa
120 mm.
Arresto della Pompa
1. È sufficiente estrarre la spina dalla presa di
corrente.
Manutenzione e Pulizia
Prima di effettuare qualsiasi intervento di
manutenzione e pulizia, la pompa deve
essere scollegata dalla rete di alimenta-
zione e protetta dal rischio di riavvio
accidentale.
Pulizia della pompa
−Lavare la pompa con acqua pulita dopo il
pompaggio di acqua contenente cloro oppu-
re che lascia residui.
−Se necessario, pulire le aperture di aspira-
zione della succhieruola e della base della
pompa con acqua pulita.
Rimozione della succhieruola (Figura E)
1. Svitare le viti di arresto (3) e rimuovere la
succhieruola (2) dalla base della pompa (1).
2. Pulire la succhieruola e la base della pompa.
3. Riposizionare la succhieruola e avvitare le
viti di arresto.
