9. OPERATING THE WATER BUTT PUMP

9.1 HORIZONTAL PUMPING DISTANCE
The horizontal pumping distance is directly affected by the working head height (maximum
total head minus measured working head height, times factor of 10, equals the approximate
horizontal pumping distance in metres using solid delivery hose).
For example: maximum total head is 7M, minus actual working head of 3M,
equals 4M x 10 = 40M approximate pumping distance.
9.2 CONNECTION TO HOSE - FIGS. 3 - 4
Make connection to the pump outlet with a quick
connector  on a length of hose. On the other end of
the hose, connect an appropriate accessory suitable for
the intended application.
CHARGING THE BATTERY (36376, 38241 only)
To charge the battery connect the transformer plug
adaptor to the charging port on the battery pack and
then switch on the mains socket. The transformer plug
adaptors LED will light red to indicate charging and will
change to green once charged.

9. OPERATING THE WATER BUTT PUMP
9.3 INSTALLATION - FIG. 5
The pump must be fully submersed before the power
is switched on. Do not turn the pump on when its dry.
Models 36376 & 38241
These models include a Li-ion (Lithium Ion) battery.
This battery must be fully charged before use.
- Model 36376 achieves this by means of a mains
charger. Charging of the battery should always be
done indoors away from rain or other water.
- Model 38241 achieves charging of the battery by
means of the mains charger as detailed for the
model above. Model 38241 also benefits from a
solar panel, the solar panel when connected to the
battery will provide a trickle charge to the battery,
this is designed to be able to keep the battery
charge topped up (actual charge applied to battery
depends on available sunlight and suitable
positioning of the solar panel). On occasions of low
sun or sunlight not directly striking the solar panel
the use of the mains charger may be required to
complete the charging of the battery.
9.4 POSITIONING THE PUMP - FIGS. 6 - 7
When submersing or lifting the pump it is necessary
to use a rope or chain, this must only be attached to
the transport handle. If pumping water from a sandy
or muddy water butt, the pump can be suspended
using a rope or chain (not supplied) fixed to the
handle. Do not use any of the electric cables
for this purpose, alternatively, stand the pump on a
brick to raise it up from the dirt.
*Actual handle position on pump may differ from
illustration.

9.5 FLOW REGULATING - FIG. 8
When the pump is operating the flow of water can be
reduced. Turn flow control  to regulate accordingly.

10. MAINTENANCE
14

NOTE: Remove the plug from the socket before
carrying out adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
If the replacement of the power cable is necessary, this
has to be done by the manufacturer or his agent in
order to avoid a safety hazard.
10.1 FILTER REMOVAL - FIGS. 9 - 10
From time to time it will be necessary to remove and
clean/replace the inlet filter.
With the pump disconnected from the power supply,
turn the unit over to expose the base .
Release clips  and to remove filter base, exposing
filter as shown.
Remove the filter  and rinse thoroughly with
clean water. Install the filter and secure the filter base.
Never use the pump with the filter and the cover
removed.
