For safety reasons, this appliance can be
used by children aged from 8 years and
above and persons with reduced physi-
cal, sensory or mental capabilities or lack
of experience and knowledge if they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use
of the appliance in a safe way and understand the
hazards involved. Children shall not play with the
appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall
not be made by children without supervision.
1 - SAFETY MEASURES
READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USE
The user is responsible to third parties for all matters
resulting in the use of the pump (electrical, hydraulic
installation, etc ...). In France, comply with standard
NF C15-100 of 07/00, which governs low voltage
electrical installations. In other countries, comply with
local regulations.
Before using the pump, it is therefore advisable to
have an experienced electrician check that the neces-
sary safety measures on the electrical network are
observed.
The supply characteristics indicated on the pump
rating plate must correspond to the characteristics of
the electrical network.
For safety reasons, the electrical network that powers
your pump must be equipped with a differential circuit
breaker and grounded plugs.
When using the pump in a garden pond or similar
areas, the power supply must be equipped with a
residual current device (RCD) having a rated residual
operating current not exceeding 30 mA.
If you add an extension cord, it must be of type H05
RNF with the same section as the power cable of
your pump, with a waterproof connection plug.
Never carry the pump by the power supply
cable (C) or the float (B), but by the carrying
handle (F).
This pump is intended for prolonged use, however it
is not recommended to operate it for more than 2h
without stopping and cooling it.
Do not make any changes to the pump. Do
not modify or attempt to access the pump in
any way.
If the appliance or the supply cord is dama-
ged, it must be repaired by manufacturer, its service
agent or qualified person.
Our guarantee is excluded for the normal wear of the
material, deterioration or accidents resulting from a
faulty and abnormal use of the equipment, or due to a
modification of the pump or an intervention on the
electric part.
In case of non-compliance with the instruc-
tions, the user incurs a risk that can lead to
electrocution.
2 - AREA OF APPLICATION
Hozelock evacuation pumps are intended for private,
domestic use. They allow clean water or water with
particles up to 15 mm to be evacuated or transferred.
This pump is not designed to be used in a swimming
pool.
The temperature of the water drawn must not exceed
35°C.
THIS PUMP MUST NOT BE RUN DRY
Important: this pump is not suitable for
evacuating salt water, corrosive products,
inflammable, explosive or food-related
liquids or foodstuffs.
Do not dispose of electrical appliances as
unsorted municipal waste, use separate
collection facilities. Contact you local go-
vernment for information regarding the
collection systems available.
If electrical appliances are disposed of in landfills or
dumps, hazardous substances can leak into the
groundwater and get into the food chain, damaging
your health and well-being.
When replacing old appliances with new ones, the
retailer is legally obligated to take back your old ap-
pliance for disposals at least free of charge.
The pump's packaging is 80% recyclable.
The appliance and its accessories contain
materials (including plastics) that can be
recycled.

5 - PREPARATION- FIRST USE
- Connection of the discharge hose:
Ensure that gasket is fitted
Screw the multi-stage straight connector (G) onto the
outlet (E), not forgetting the flat gasket supplied.
The stepped discharge connection (G) allows (fig.2):
- The fitting of hoses 25 mm and 32 mm in diameter,
- Or the screwing of a 1” female tap nose and the
quick connection of suitable hose fittings,
- Or the use of a supplied high-speed connection (K).
Cut off the end of the unused fitting (Fig.2).
- Adjusting the float:
To operate correctly, the float must not be
left completely free but must be placed in the
mounting hook (D, Fig.3). Otherwise, the
pump may not stop in the absence of water, causing a
risk of overheating which may cause injury to the
user.
You can adjust the length of the float cable to vary the
pump trip and stop level (Fig.3) by adjusting the free
cable length (jamming in hook D).
Attention: to ensure proper float operation, at
least 10 cm of free cable must be left bet-
ween the base of the float plug and the
attachment on the pump body.
- Installation:
Depending on the nature of the drained water, posi-
tion the reversible base (I) in the dirty water position
(Fig.4.1) or in the clean water position (Fig.4.2). To do
this, unscrew the 2 screws (J) using a suitable tool,
then position the base in the desired position (this is
also indicated on the base itself), and reattach it using
screws.
Lower the pump using a rope attached to the carrying
handle, and position it by checking that the float has
enough space to move freely.
- Starting up:
Make sure nothing restricts the backflow of water from
the pump (for example, kinked hose). Connect the
pump to the power supply after making sure that the
safety measures are followed.
The pump starts automatically once the level of water
required is achieved (float in the high position) and
stops when the water level is low enough (float in the
low position), depending on the setting made previou-
sly (fig.3).
The priming height depends on the position of the
reversible base. In the "clean water" position, this
height can be lowered thanks to the presence of a
non-return valve. Simply fill the pump via the drain
hose (pump off), or run once to allow priming with 5
mm of residual water.
It is also possible to clip the float directly to the ON
position (float at the top) or OFF position (float down)
without taking into account the height of water (fig.5).
The pump is not intended for continuous use or for
dry running. Otherwise, the pump may overheat and
may cause injury to the user. Do not leave unat-
tended.

6 - STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE
Before working on the pump, unplug it.
In the event of an obstruction, unscrew the reversible
base (I, fig.4) to access the suction chamber, rinse it
with clean water and reassemble. In the dirty water
position, also check that nothing is blocking the drain
hose.
Do not let the pump freeze.
Incidents Causes Solutions
a- The pump will
not start.
1- The water level has not reached
the trigger level of the pump.
2- The float (B) cannot move freely.
3- The float (B) does not work.
4- No power supply.
5- Dirt is stuck in the housing of the
turbine.
1- Ability to adjust the float (B) to adjust the
trigger level of the pump.
2- Reposition the pump so that the float has
sufficient space to move freely.
3-Manually check the float by lifting it up.
4- Check that the plug is well inserted into
the socket. Check the circuit breakers and
electrical connections outside the pump.
Check the condition of the cables.
5- Disconnect the pump, disassemble the
reversible base and clean the suction cham-
ber.
b- The pump is
running but will
not flow, or flow is
reduced
1- Dirt is stuck in the housing of the
turbine.
2- The discharge hose is blocked.
3- A pocket of air has occurred:
- Because of the float setting, the
stop level is too low, so the pump
sucks in air.
- When diving the device.
1- Disconnect the pump, disassemble the
reversible base and clean the suction cham-
ber.
2- Remove the discharge hose and unblock
it.
3 - Adjust the float, so that the stop level is
above the level of the turbine.- Open the
discharge hose (or remove anything that is
blocking the air outlet), then immerse the
pump by tilting and shaking it.- Check that
the water level is sufficient to start aspira-
tion.
c- The pump
stops during the
operation (the
thermal circuit
breaker has
stopped the pump
after it over-
heated).
1- The power supply is not consis-
tent with the motor data of the pump.
2- A solid body has blocked the
hydraulic system.
3- The pump worked with too hot
water.
4- The pump has worked dry.
5 - The pump has worked too long
without interruption.
Disconnect the pump, remove any blockage,
wait for the pump to cool down and connect
it again.
7 - OPERATING ANOMALIES / SOLUTIONS
For any other anomaly, contact our after-sales service. For safety reasons, only the Hozelock-Exel after-sales
service is entitled to disassemble the pump.
