This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety. Children should
be supervised to ensure that they do not play with
the appliance.
Important!
!Before you put the equipment into operation,
arrange for a specialist to check that the
- earthing
- protective multiple earthing
- residual-current operated circuit-breaker circuit
comply with the safety regulations of the power
supply company and work correctly.

3. Proper use
The equipment you have purchased is designed to
pump water with a maximum temperature of 35 °C.
This equipment must never be used for other liquids,
especially engine fuels, cleaning agents and other
chemically-based products! Installed in a shaft, the
equipment provides protection from flooding.
However, it can be used wherever you want to move
water, e.g. in the house, in the garden, and for many
other applications. The equipment must not be used
to operate swimming pools!
If you want to use the equipment in bodies of water
with a natural, muddy bottom, place the equipment in
a slightly elevated position, e.g. on bricks.
The equipment is not designed for continuous
operation, e.g. as a circulating pump in a pond. In this
case the equipment’s anticipated life will be greatly
shortened because the equipment was not designed
for continuous loading.
The equipment is to be used only for its prescribed
purpose. Any other use is deemed to be a case of
misuse. The user / operator and not the
manufacturer will be liable for any damage or injuries
of any kind caused as a result of this.

5. Before putting the equipment into
operation
5.1 Installation
The equipment can be installed either:
!Stationary with rigid tubing
or
!Stationary with a flexible hose line
Note:
The maximum pumping rate is possible only with the
largest possible line diameter; if smaller hoses or
tubes are connected, the pumping rate will be
reduced. If the universal hose connection (Fig. 1/Item
3) is used, it should be shortened (as shown in Fig. 4)
to the connection actually used in order not to reduce
the pumping rate unnecessarily. Flexible hoses must
be fastened to the universal hose connection with a
hose clip (not included in the scope of supply).
Note!
When installing, never hang the equipment by the
discharge line or by the power cable. The equipment
must be hung up with the provided carry handle or it
must rest on the bottom of the shaft. To ensure that
the equipment works properly, the bottom of the shaft
always must be free of sludge and other
accumulations of dirt. If the water level is too low, the
sludge in the shaft can quickly dry out and hinder the
equipment from starting. It is necessary therefore to
check the equipment regularly
(carry out trial start-ups).
Note:
The pump shaft should measure at least
40 x 40 x 50 cm so that the floating switch can move
freely.
5.2 Mains connection
The equipment you have purchased comes with an
earthing-pin plug. The equipment is designed for
connection to a socket outlet with earthing contact for
240 V ~ 50 Hz. Make sure that the socket-outlet is
sufficiently fused (at least 6 A) and in good working
order. Insert the power plug in the socket-outlet and
the equipment is ready for operation.
Important!
To rule out danger, this work must be left strictly to a
specialist electrician or Customer Service.
6. Operation
You can put the equipment into operation after you
have thoroughly read the installation and operating
instructions. Pay attention to the following points:
!Make sure that the equipment is set up securely.
!Check that the discharge line is fitted correctly.
!Make sure that the electrical connection is 240 V
~ 50 Hz.
!Check that the electrical socket-outlet is in good
working order.
!Make sure that no moisture or water can ever
reach the power connection.
!Make sure that the equipment does not run dry.
Setting the ON/OFF switching point:
The ON/OFF switching point can be infinitely
adjusted with the height adjustment facility. For this
purpose you must first slacken the screw (Fig. 2,
Point 6). The switching differential can be infinitely
adjusted by extending or shortening the floating
cable.
!The floating switch must be fitted so that the
switching point height: ON and the switch point
height: OFF can be reached easily and with little
force. Check this by placing the equipment in a
container filled with water and carefully raising
and lowering the floating switch with your hand.
You can then see whether the equipment
switches on and off.
!Make sure that the distance between the floating
switch head and the cable holder is not too small.
If the distance is too small, there is no guarantee
that the equipment will work correctly.

!When adjusting the floating switch, make sure
that the floating switch does not touch the bottom
before the equipment is switched off. Important!
Risk of dry running.
Manual operation:
Mount the float switch as illustrated in Figure 3 so that
the device runs continuously. In this mode the
equipment may be used only under supervision to
avoid dry running. The equipment must be switched
off (pull out the power plug) as soon as no more water
is emitted from the discharge line.
7. 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.
8. Cleaning, maintenance and
ordering of spare parts
Important!
!Unplug the power plug prior to any maintenance
work.
!For mobile applications, the equipment should be
cleaned with clear water after every usage.
!For stationary installation, it is recommended that
you check the floating switch for proper
functioning every three months.
!Use a water jet to remove any lint or fibrous
particles that may have become trapped in the
housing.
!Remove sludge from the shaft bottom and clean
the shaft walls every 3 months.
!Use clear water to remove deposits from the
floating switch.
8.1 Cleaning the paddle wheel
If a lot of deposits collect in the housing, the bottom
part of the equipment must be dismantled as follows:
1. Disconnect the intake cage from the housing.
2. Clean the paddle wheel with clear water.
Important! Do not put down or rest the
equipment on the paddle wheel!
3. Assemble in reverse order.
8.2 Maintenance
There are no parts inside the equipment which
require additional maintenance.

tFor EU countries only
Never place any electric tools in your household refuse.
To comply with European Directive 2002/96/EC concerning old electric and electronic equipment and its
implementation in national laws, old electric tools have to be separated from other waste and disposed of
in an environment-friendly fashion, e.g. by taking to a recycling depot.
Recycling alternative to the demand to return electrical devices:
As an alternative to returning the electrical device, the owner is obliged to cooperate in ensuring that the
device is properly recycled if ownership is relinquished. This can also be done by handing over the used
device to a returns center, which will dispose of it in accordance with national commercial and industrial
waste management legislation. This does not apply to the accessories and auxiliary equipment without
any electrical components which are included with the used device.
