6. Before putting the equipment into
operation
6.1 Connecting the intake line
As a basic principle, we recommend the use of a
preliminary filter and a suction set with suction hose,
suction strainer and non-return valve, in order to
prevent long priming periods and unnecessary
damage to the pump as a result of stones and solid
foreign bodies.
The intake hose or pipe should have a minimum
diameter of 25 mm (1”); a diameter of 32 mm
(1 1/4”) is recommended for suction heights
exceeding 5 m.
Connect the intake valve (foot valve) with intake
cage to the intake line.
Position the intake line so that it rises from the
water withdrawal point to the equipment. Avoid
positioning the suction pipe higher than the
pump, as this would delay the escape of air
bubbles from the suction pipe and impede the
priming process.
Install the intake and discharge lines in such a
way that they do not exert any mechanical
pressure on the equipment.
The intake valve should be low enough in the
water to ensure that if the water level falls, the
equipment will not run dry.
A leaking intake line will draw in air and therefore
not draw in any water.
Anleitung_RG_AW_1139_SPK7:_ 07.05.2010 14:45 Uhr Seite 5

6.2 Connecting the discharge line
The discharge line (min. 19 (3/4”)) must be
connected to the R1 (1”) female thread discharge
line connector of the equipment either directly or
with the aid of a threaded nipple.
With the right couplings it is also possible, of
course, to use a 13 mm (1/2“) delivery hose. The
smaller delivery hose results in a lower delivery
rate.
During the priming operation, fully open any shut-
off mechanisms (spray nozzles, valves, etc.) in
the pressure line so that the air can escape
without obstruction.
6.3 Electrical connections
Connect the appliance to a 240 V ~ 50 Hz socket-
outlet with earthing contact. Minimum fuse 10
ampere.
A built-in thermostat protects the motor from
overloading and blocking. The pump is switched
off automatically by the thermostat if overheating
occurs and is switched on again automatically
after cooling.
7. Operation
Install the equipment on a solid and level surface.
Remove the ventilation screw (7).
Unscrew the coarse filter screw (6) and remove
the coarse filter (8) as shown in Figure 2. Now
you can fill the pump housing with water via the
coarse filter screw (6). Filling the intake line
accelerates the intake process.
Assemble in reverse order.
Open the discharge line.
Connect the mains cable.
Switch on the equipment with the power switch
(3) - water can be suctioned in for up to 5 minutes
(maximum suction height).
After finishing the work, switch off the equipment
with the power switch (3).
8. Replacing the power cable
If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-
sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid
danger.
9. Cleaning, maintenance and
ordering of spare parts
The equipment is almost completely maintenance
free. In order to ensure a long service life, however,
we recommend that you regularly check and care for
the product.
Important!
The equipment must be disconnected from the power
supply (pull the power plug) prior to performing any
maintenance.
9.1 Servicing
If the equipment becomes clogged, connect the
discharge line to the water line and disconnect
the suction hose. Open the water line. Switch on
the equipment several times for approx.
two seconds. This should resolve the majority of
clog-related problems.
Replacing the mains cable: Important:
Disconnect the equipment from the power
supply! A defective mains cable may only be
replaced by a qualified electrician.
There are no parts inside the equipment which
require additional maintenance.
9.2 Cleaning the coarse filter insert
Clean the coarse filter insert at regular intervals,
and replace it if necessary.
Remove the coarse filter screw (6) and coarse
filter (8) (Figure 2).
Disassemble the coarse filter insert as shown in
Figure 3.
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or petrol to
clean the coarse filter.
Clean the coarse filter by tapping it on a flat
surface. In cases of stubborn dirt first clean with
soapy water, then rinse with clear water and air-
dry.
Assemble in reverse order.
9.3 Storage
If the pump is not going to be used for a long time
or has to be removed for the winter months, rinse
it out with water, empty it completely and allow it
to dry.
The equipment must be completely drained
before it is subjected to frost.
After long stoppages, make sure the rotor turns
correctly by briefly switching the pump on and off.
