INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION
• Screw the 90° elbow connector into the pump housing in a clockwise direction. Tighten the elbow
firmly to prevent leakage.
• Prepare the Multiple Hosetail Outlet; it is designed to fit various hoses, pipes and fittings. Three
options are detailed below.
1. To fit a 25mm (1”) tap adaptor (temporary application only) Cut o the first 25mm barbed
section with a hacksaw directly in front of the threaded section. It is now ready to be fitted with a
25mm (1”) tap adaptor (not included).
2.To fit a 25mm hose. No cutting is required; hose or tube is now ready to be fitted.
3.To fit a 32mm hose. Cut o the 25mm barbed and threaded sections with a hacksaw leaving the
32mm barbed section only; hose or tube is now ready to be fitted.
• Screw the prepared Multiple Hosetail Outlet clockwise onto the elbow, tightening firmly to Prevent
leakage. Tubing or hose not to be connected at this stage.
• Fit hose or tube to the prepared Multiple Hosetail Outlet and secure with hose clamp (not supplied).
• Unwrap the power cable and ensure the plug is clear of wet damp locations.
• If required the pump can be immersed in deep water by using a rope secured to the carry handle.
• Adjusting the Float Switch. The float switch allows you to adjust the switching On and O depending
on the application requirements. The float switch can also be set to run continuously.
AUTOMATIC MODE
• In automatic mode float heights can be adjusted between 500 and
150mm. To control the automatic on/o switching at various water
levels, simply reduce or increase the length of the float switch
cable by inserting the cable into the circular groove (Float Switch
Adjuster) on the side of the carry handle.
MANUAL MODE
• CAUTION: The pump is to be observed at all times during manual
mode. Prolonged use in manual mode may result in a shorter
motor life or burnout. Set the float switch cable into the
circular groove with the float as close to the pump as
possible. To turn on, position the float above horizontal. The
pump will now run continuously until turned o. Turn o by
tilting the float down 30° or switching o at the power point
(GPO).

OPERATION
• The pump is now ready for use; ensure the pump is not immersed in water deeper than 7m and that
the discharge point is not higher than 7m above the water surface.
• Ensure the area being pumped out is large enough to allow the float switch to move freely and
function eectively.
• Place the pump on a flat surface and check there are no obstructions to the suction base.
• When the float switch is 30° higher than horizontal or above the handle, the pump will turn on and
operate.
ATTENTION: The pump starts up as soon as the float switch reaches start-up level. ie: Above the
handle or higher than 30°.
• The pump will turn o when the float switch is lower than the handle or is lower than 30° from
horizontal. Alternatively, you can manually turn the pump o at the mains power.
• If you wish to use the pump down to the minimum water depth of 50mm, the float switch will need
to be operated manually. The pump can be manually turned “on” by lifting the float to activate the
internal switch.
NB: If you manually turn the pump o, be aware of the location of your hose or tube. If it is at a lower
point than the pump, the water will continue to siphon out, unless a non-return valve (not included) is
fitted to the hose or tube.
TURNING ON AND OFF
• Insert the plug into the mains power socket (GPO). Avoid using extension cords as this can lead to a
voltage drop which may cause power loss and overheating.
• Switch on the mains power to commence operation.
• To cease operation, turn o the mains power. The pump will also stop automatically once the float
switch reaches 30° below horizontal.
HINTS FOR OPERATION
• To maximise pump flow use the largest diameter hose or tube possible. Smaller diameter hose or
tube will reduce the flow rate relative to their size. Where possible use discharge pipes having a larger
diameter than the discharge outlet.
• Do not run the pump without water flowing through it. This leads to increased wear and possible burn
out. Immediately unplug the pump as soon as water supply or flow stops.
NB: The built in thermal overload protector will automatically switch o the pump in the event of
overheating. The motor automatically
