Operation, Cleaning And Maintenance
Risk of damage to the appliance!
Do not lift the pump with the cable or pressure hose as these are not designed with the
tensile strength required to lift the pump’s weight.
– Submerge the pump at an angle into the liquid to be delivered so that no air pocket forms on the underside of the
appliance. Suction would be prevented by this. Once the pump is submerged, it can be righted again.
– Leave the pump on the bottom of the liquid container. Use a strong rope attached to the carrying handle of the
pump for lowering.
– Tighten the end of the rope firmly after lowering.
The pump can also be operated while suspended on a rope.
Note:
For operation with rope:
Do not operate the pump without pressure hose.
Avoid the pump twisting around its longitudinal axis.
Operation
After the appliance has been connected to the
mains power supply, the pump is ready to operate.
Switch on the mains power supply with the pump
submerged to pump liquid as required.
Risk of damage to the appliance!
The float switch must be able to move so that the submersible pump cannot run dry.
