Theyareextremelyquietinoperationwhichmakesthemidealforapplicationswithinresidentialareasforsullagepits,
waterfallsandgeneraldrainage.
Other Ideal Applications are:
LiftWells,CarParkSumps,Basements,CablePits,etc.
ThisSubmersiblepumphasbeenfactorycheckedpriortodelivery;however,pleasecheckforanydamageduring
transport.AfterSalesServiceisavailablefromyourTotalFloreseller.
DO NOT:
Run the pump dry.
Attempt electrical repairs, unless qualied to do so.
Run the pump with the motor fully exposed for long periods.
Install the pump on soft or loose ground.
Operate the pump if the inlet is submersed by sand or debris.
Lift or carry the pump by the power cable.
Not intended to be used for swimming pool. Note that these pumps may be used for the repair or maintenance
of swimming pools, but never with people present in the water.
Suitable Fluids
Thispumpisdesignedtopumpwastewater,cleanwaterandwatercontainingmildpollutantsatambienttemperatures.
Itisnot suitableforpumpingammableorcorrosiveuids,noruidsatelevatedtemperatures(Max.40°C).Ifyouare
unsureastothesuitabilityoftheuids,contactyourTotalFlodealerforadvice.
This pump is not a slurry pump, it is not designed to pump hard solids (eg stones) nor uids containing excessive
amounts of abrasive materials. Soft solids up to 18mm diameter are suitable to pump in solution with water.
Installation
ThisTotalFlopumpiscompletelysubmersibleupto5metresandshouldbeplacedonasolidatsurface(ifnotavailable,
sitthepumpontimberorhousebricks)intheverticalposition.Pumpshouldalwaysbeinstalledsothatitwillbeclearof
settledsiltordebris.Itisrecommendedtotthebiggestdiameterhosepossible,toobtainthebestowfromthepump.
Toremoveorliftthepumpfromdeepwellsorpitsconnectaropetothehandleduringinstallation.Automaticversions
shouldbeplacedinasumpwhichhasadequatedimensionssoasnottorestrictthemovementoftheoatswitch.
Automaticcontrolledpumpunitshaveoatswitchesfactorysettoprovidethecorrecthigh(ON)andlow(OFF)liquidlevels.
Motor Cooling
Allmodelsrelyuponwaterowaroundthemotorshellforcorrectmotorcooling.
Allmodelsaresuitableforpartiallysubmergedoperationonlyforshortperiodsupto10minutes.
Wherethepumpisrequiredtooperateforlongerthan10minutespartiallysubmerged,orwherewaterowoverthe
motormaynotbeassured,itisadvisabletodirectalowow(2-3lpm)coolingjetofwateroverthemotorshell(eg.when
installedinlargetanksorponds).
Power Connection
Apowerconnectionpointshouldbeprovidedbyaqualiedelectrician,incompliancewiththerequirementsofAS3000.Single
phasemodelsareratedfor220/240Volts,50Hzoperation,andmaybeconnectedtoastandard10amppoweroutlet.
Allsinglephasemodelshaveautomaticresetthermaloverloadprotectionbuiltin,ie.shouldoverloadonmotorcause
thermaltoopencircuitandswitchmotoroff,itwillautomaticallyresetandswitchthemotoronwhenthemotorhascooled
downsufciently,usuallywithinafewminutes.
NOTE:
If the cord is damaged, the appliance should be repaired by a qualied TotalFlo Service Centre. The supply cord
must only be replaced by a suitably qualied person with a genuine TotalFlo replacement supply cord.

Fault Checks
(A) Pump will not start:
(1) Manual Type
ChecktoensurepowerisavailableandtheoutletisswitchedON.
Blownfuseortrippedcircuitbreaker(replace/resetorcallanelectrician).
Ifanextensionleadistted,checkconnection.
Impellerjammed-disconnect from power supply,andensureimpellerisfreetorotate.
Thermalcut-outswitchhasnotreset(wait5minutes).
 Ifpumpdoesnotstartfromnewthenthesealhaspossiblystuckduetothelengthoftimeithasbeen
standingsinceitwasmanufactured.Inthiscase,disconnectfrompowersupply,removebottomstrainer
andturntheimpellernutclockwise,thiswillreleasetheinitialfrictiononthesealandoncethepoweris
connectedwillallowthepumptowork.
(2) Auto Type (with oat switch)
Checkallin(1)above.
Floatswitchjammedagainstsumpsidewall.
InsufcientliquidtoplacetheoatswitchintheONposition,i.e.higherthanthehorizontal.
(B) Pump runs, but does not pump water or pumps insufcient water:
 Insufcientliquidinsump.
 Strainer,impellerand/ordischargepipeworkblocked.
 Impellerdamaged.
 Airlockindischargepipework.Ensurepumpislledwithwater.
 Excessivebackpressureorlift.
(C) Pump will not stop:
(1) Manual Type
Mustbeswitchedoffatthepowersupply.
(2) Auto Type (with oat switch)
Floatswitchispreventedfrommovingtothefullydownposition.
Floatswitchmaybefaulty.
(D) Pump runs for short periods only (the overload protection has tripped):
 Someforeignbodyiscloggingtheimpeller.
 Theliquidtemperatureistoohigh.
 Pumpoperatinginnonsubmergedpositionorwithnowatermovementaroundmotor.
 Electricalfault.
Donotrunthepumpdryasthiswilldamagethesealandreducethelifeofthepump.
Where hair, lint or other string-like material may be in the water, the pump should be regularly checked. It might become
necessary sometimes to clean the suction strainer, impeller and/or discharge pipework.
Withsimplecleaningandregularexaminationthispumpshouldgivereliableservice.Intheeventofsealfailure,pollution
ofthepumpedliquidcouldoccurduetoleakageoftheseallubricant.
NOTE:
1. Long extension leads should be avoided as they often have insufcient current carrying
capacity to run electric motors, hence they can cause substantial voltage drop and operating
problems.
2. Minimum voltage at the electric motor must not fall below 216 Volts for single phase, otherwise
motor damage may result which is not claimable under guarantee.
3. If the electrical ttings in your country make it necessary to remove the plug (where tted) from
the lead tted to the motor, care should be taken to ensure that the earth conductor green/
yellow in the lead is properly connected to a good earth. This work should be undertaken by a
suitably qualied person.
4. Expansion and contraction inside the motor due to heating and cooling is vented via the lead.
The lead end must never be sealed off, but must always be open to the atmosphere.
5. ALWAYS disconnect pump from power supply prior to commencing ANY maintenance or adjustment.
NOTE:
If tting an extension lead a QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN should be consulted to ensure correct rating is
provided. Extension leads are not allowed for permanent installations.
