The plug must be powered at 230 V ~50 Hz.
ATTENTION! Important for the protection of your personal safety. Before first starting your new submersible
pump, make sure that the following items are professionally checked:
• Grounding
• Neutral conductor
The current circuit breaker must conform to energy safety norms and must fully function correctly.
The electrical connection must be protected against moisture.
If there is a risk of the electrical connection being flooded, it must be moved higher.
• In all situations, prevent the circulation of aggressive liquids and coarse materials.
The submersible pump must be protected against frost.
The pump must be protected against running when empty.
Prevent children from accessing parts of the pump by taking the appropriate measures.
The manufacturer will not accept any responsibility for accidents or damage resulting
from not following the instructions in this manual.

3. INSTALLATION AND RUNNING
WARNING! Before starting the installation, carefully read the complete documentation.
The pump must not be used in swimming pools, ponds, water tanks where there are people, even after
pumping out hydrocarbons (fuel, diesel, heating oils, solvents) pursuant to the injury regulations valid for the
stated area.
Never touch the water when the plug is inserted into the socket even if the pump is not running. Before each
intervention, remove the plug from the electricity socket. Prevent dry running of the pump.
Protect the pump against atmospheric influences.
The pump is equipped with thermal engine protection. In the case of potential overloading of the engine,
the protection system automatically disconnects the pump. The time required for cooling the engine varies
between 15–20 minutes; after cooling, the pump is automatically activated.
After activating the protection system for the engine, it is necessary to identify and remove the reason.
Consult the paragraph “Identifying defects”.
It is recommended to clean the pump before storing away. See the chapter "Maintenance and Cleaning".
Do not leave the pump running unattended.

Installation and running
Installation (Fig. 2.)
Garden pumps are recommended for small-scale
agriculture in gardens and for gardening, emergency
situations in households, and for use in hobbies. The
compact form along with easy handling means they
can also be used in special applications as portable
pumps for emergency situations, such as pumping
water from tanks.
Fig. 2
The pump must be installed in a place protected against bad weather and temperatures exceeding 40 °C.
We recommend to firmly install the pump. The holes in legs enable to correct the firm base with bolts (the
bolts are not included in the package), see Fig. 2.
Prevent the piping from transferring excessive stress on top the input and output holes (point 3 and 5, Fig. 1),
to prevent deformation or cracks.
It is recommended to position the pump nearest to the pumped liquid; the pump must only be installed in
a horizontal position.
The piping must not have a smaller diameter than the diameter of the suction neck on the pump. For suction
depths over four metres or with long horizontal sections, it is recommended to use a suction hose with
a larger diameter than the suction hole for the pump.
A slight declination of the suction hose in the upward direction of the pump will prevent the creation of air
pockets. Fig. 2.
If the suction piping is from rubber or a flexible material, always check that it is has been reinforced and is
resistant to vacuums to prevent narrowing due to suction.
In the case of a firm installation, it is recommended to mount the stop valve on the side of the suction and on
the side of the delivery. This enables to close the circuit on the input and/or on the output of the pump, which
is useful when carrying out maintenance and cleaning or for a period when the pump is not used.
When using in water with small dirt with small dimensions, it is recommended to use the filter on the input of
the pump mounted on the suction tube.
Do not make a large number of starts per hour. Do not exceed 20 starts/hour.

Electrical connection | Running | Maintenance and cleaning
4. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Check the voltage on the label on the electric engine of the pump with the supplied voltage; specifically, the
ground terminal must be connected to the supply cable.
The length of the supply cable, which is part of the pump, is restricted by the installation distance. If using an
extension cable, make sure that it is of the same type (e.g. H05 RN-F or H07 RN-F, depending on the specific
installation).
5. STARTING
Do not start the pump without filling it with liquid.
Fill the liquid into the output hole (Fig. 1, point 2) or the de-aerating hole (Fig. 1, point 3). Fill the liquid until it
starts to overflow through the hole. The filling ensures the good function of the mechanical sealing.
Dry operation of the pump causes damage to the mechanical sealing.
It is then necessary to screw the de-aerating closure or to connect the hose.
Insert the supply cable plug into an electricity socket with a voltage of 230 V.
Run the pump with the main switch in position I (Fig. 1, point 7)
Disconnect the pump by switching the switch into the position O
In the case of exhausting the water source, immediately disconnect the pump by putting the main switch into
the position O. Prevent dry running of the pump.
RISK OF FREEZING If the pump remains disconnected at a temperature lower than 0 °C, it is necessary to
be sure that there is no water remaining which, in the case of freezing, could cause the plastic parts to crack.
The remaining water can be discharged through the discharging hole (Fig. 1, point 6)
If the pump is used with substances that can create sediments or with chlorinated water, rinse it after use
with a strong stream of water to prevent the creation of sediments or incrustations??? which would have
a tendency to reduce the parameters of the pump.
6. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
The pump does not require any type of maintenance. In all cases, repair and maintenance must only be carried
out after disconnecting the pump from supply network. In the case of restarting the pump into operation, make
sure that it is reassembled in the stated manner to prevent any risk to people.

What to do "When..."
7. WHAT TO DO "WHEN..."
MALFUNCTION CHECKING (possible reasons) SOLUTION
After starting, the engine
is not turned on and there
is no sound.
The supply socket is not under voltage. Check the electricity supply.
The engine of the pump is not under voltage. Check the supply cable to the pump.
Check protection. If the circuit breakers are defective replace
them with new ones.
Potential intervention of thermal protection Wait for approximately 20 mins for cooling
engionet. Check the reason which caused it
and remove it.
NOTE: A repeat of the failure means that there
is short-circuit of the engine.
After starting, the engine
does not turn but there is
a sound.
Low supply voltage. Check the supply voltage.
Search for any blocking of the pump or engine. Remove any mechanical resistance.
Check whether the shaft is blocked. Remove the cap using the tool and turn the
shaft with a screwdriver.
Check the condition of the condenser. Replace the condenser.
The engine has difficulty
running.
Make sure that the supply voltage is sufficient. Check the supply voltage.
Check any abrasion between the movable
and fixed components.
Try to remove the reason for abrasion.
The pump does not
supply any water.
The pump was not correctly filled. Fill the pump with water and pay attention to
any leaks of air by unscrewing the de-aerating
closure.
The suction tube has a sufficient diameter. Replace the tube with another with a larger
diameter.
The pump does not suck
up the water.
Suction of water through the suction tube. Remove the mentioned negative phenomenon
by checking the tightness of the joints and
refilling.
A poor slope of the suction tube supports the
creation of air bubbles.
Check the slope of the tube.
The pump is pumping
an insufficient volume
of water.
The suction tube is blocked. Clean the suction tube.
Running wheel is worn or blocked. Remove the blockage or replace worn
components.
The diameter of the suction piping is
insufficient.
Replace with piping with a larger diameter.
The pump vibrates and is
noisy when running.
Check that the pump and piping are firmly
fixed.
Secure any loose parts.
Cavitation in the pump. Decrease the height of the suction or check
the decrease of pressure.
The pump is overloaded. It could be useful to restrict the inflow.
