1. Information Concerning the Operating Instructions
Please read these operating instructions carefully. Follow the information
given. Use the operating instructions to get acquainted with the proper
use of your submersible pump.
**For safety reasons, people who are not familiar with these
operating instructions should not use this Submersible Pump.
Following the operating instructions supplied by the manufacturer is
a prerequisite for the proper use of the pump.
2. Application Range and Liquids to be Pumped
Submersible pumps have been designed for private use around your
house and garden. Submersible pumps are predominantly used for
drainage after ooding, transferring liquids, draining containers, taking
water from wells and shafts, draining boats and yachts as well as water
aeration and circulation for limited period of time.
Only clean or slightly contaminated water can be handled by these pumps.
The max particle size allowable is 0.08”, 2mm, except the Trash Pump
Model # ST-900SD which allows .25” or 6.35mm. Soapy water can also
pass through the pumps without issue. These pumps are not designed
for continuous operation (e.g. continuous circulating operation). If used
for these applications, additional wear and tear will result.
WARNING
Corrosive, easily combustible, or explosive substances
(e.g. gasoline, petroleum, nitro thinner), fats, oils, salt and waste
water of toilets and urinals must not be pumped.
The temperature of the liquids handled must not exceed 35ºC.

PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
4. Measures Before Operation
4.1 Hose Connection
Screw the supplied ttings onto the pump, as described in illustration C.
The universal tting (7) allows connection of 1¼”(32mm), 1”(25mm),
3/4”(19mm) as well as of 1/3”(13mm) hoses, according to your individual
requirements, 5/4”(32mm) hoses are connected to the pump via the step
nipples of universal tting, 3/4”(19mm ) and 1/2” (13mm) hoses with
Hose connection system parts (illustration D). It is recommended
to x 1¼”(32mm) and 1” (25mm) hoses additional with a hose clamp.
Components of the universal tting which you don’t require (when
connecting 1¼” (32mm) hoses are detached with a knife from the
universal tting, illustration E.)
Best results in delivery capacity are achieved when using 5/4”(32mm)
hoses.
4.2 Float Switch Adjustment
The oat switch (5) automatically switches on the pump at a water height
of approx. 21”(53cm) and automatically switches o at a water height of
approx 2”(5cm) by xing the oat switch cable to the oat switch lock (3).
The cut-in/cut-out height can be adjusted individually.
4.3 Location and Transport
• Please ensure that the pump is placed in a stable position, especially for
automatic operation.
• In the event of automatic operation, ensure that the oat switch is able to
to move freely.
• Take care that the pump is located in a way ensuring that the inlet
openings at the suctions base are obstructed neither completely nor
partly. Therefore, it is advisable to place the pump for example on a brick.
• Don’t use power cable or oat switch for carrying or hanging up the
pump. When submerging the pump in wells or shafts, please use a rope
fastened to the carrying handle (2).

5. Operation
5.1 Automatic Operation
After having connected the power cable, the pump is automatically
switched on at a denite water height (cut-in height) and switches
o as soon as the water level drops down to a denite water height
(cut-out height).
5.2 Manual Operation
In case of manual operation, the Submersible Pump starts when the
power cable has been connected and the oat switch has been lifted.
6. Safety Tips before Operation
• For safety reasons, the Submersible Pump should always be operated
via a circuit breaker safety switch (FI switch) with rated fault current
of <30mA.
• Always check the pump (above all power cable and plug) before
each operation. A damaged pump must not be used. It is absolutely
necessary to have the pump inspected by a service center.
• Ensure that the electrical connections are made within a dry area,
protected from ooding.
• Protect plug and power cable (1) from heat, oil and sharp edges.
• Check line voltage. Data indicated on the type plate must match
technical data of the main supply.
• Children are not allowed to operate the pump. Ensure that they are kept
away from the work area.
• Before use, clear the outlet rst.
Observe the minimum water level (see point 9,“Technical Data”).
Observe max. delivery height (see point 9,“Technical Data”).
Have a professional electrician or your service center replace the
damaged cable. Please use a protective switch (drain current is no
more than 30mA).
PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Always unplug the pump before performing maintenance.
Repairs on electrical parts should only be done at a Service Center.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
7. Operating Tips
• Dry-running operation causes increased wear and should be avoided at
all costs. This means that the unit must be switched o if water ceases
to ow at any point.
• The pump is automatically switched o upon overheating by the built-in
thermal motor protector. After having cooled down, the motor
automatically switches on again. For more information, see Trouble
Shooting Guide, point 10.
• When unplugging the unit, pull from the shell, not the cord.
• The power cable (1) must not be used for mounting or relocating the
pump for submerging or lifting/securing the pump. Fix a rope to the
carrying handle (2).
• After pumping chlorinated swimming pool water or other liquids that can
leave residue, the pump should be rinsed with clear water.
• Sand and other abrasive material in the liquid cause increased wear,
reducing the output of the pump over time.
• Avoid running of the pump for more than 10 mins against closed
delivery side of the pump.
• The Submersible Pumps drains up to a residual water height
of approx. 0.2”(5mm). This at suction height is only reached during
manual operation (see point 5,“Operation”), but not during automatic
operation.
• The Submersible Pump is equipped with an automatic deaerating
device whose function is to remove probable air pockets in the pump.
If the water level drops below the vent valve (4), some water ows
penetrates outside through the vent valve. This is not a defect of your
pump, but rather serves to deaerate the pump.
• In the event of manual operation, the pump has sucked o completely
and water ows again after the pump operation, the pump isn’t deaer-
ated automatically. Then, the pump has to be switched o for a short
time and then switched on again.
8. Maintenance, Care and Storage.
Submersible pumps are virtually maintenance free. That being said, it is
important to ensure that they are not used for anything other than their
intended application. Misuse can permanently damage the pump.
In case of contamination inside the pump, the suction base (6) can be
taken o by unscrewing the 3 Phillips recessed head screws (8).
This the turbine space can be cleaned. For safety reasons, a damaged
turbine (9) can only be exchanged by the Service Center.
To protect the pump from frost damage, store the pump in a dry place.
