Unspecified use, modification of the pump or
use of parts that have not been tested and
approved by the manufacturer can cause un-
foreseeable damage!
3.2 General safety instructions
– When using this pump, observe the follow-
ing safety instructions to exclude the risk of
personal injury or material damage.
– Follow the legal guidelines or accident pre-
vention regulations for using submersible
pumps.
– When the pump is being used in swimming
pools, garden ponds and in the protected
areas around them, the regulations must
be observed in accordance with IEC
60364-7-702.
All national regulations relating to the safe
operation of submersible pumps must also
be followed.
– The pump must be protected by a residual
current device (RCD) with a trip current of
max 30 mA.
AGeneral danger!
Do not operate the pump if anyone is in con-
tact with the pumping media (e.g. in a swim-
ming pool or garden pond)!
The following residual risks essentially re-
main when operating submersible pumps
and cannot be fully eliminated – even by em-
ploying safety devices.
ADanger from the environment!
Do not use the pump in hazardous locations
or near inflammable liquids and gases!
BDanger! Risk of electric shock!
Do not touch the plug with wet hands! To dis-
connect, always pull on the plug, not the pow-
er cable.
Connect only to an earthed outlet that is
properly installed, earthed and tested. Mains
voltage and fuse protection must correspond
to those stated in the 'Technical Specifica-
tions'.
Always lift and transport the pump by the
handle, never by the power cable or dis-
charge hose.
Extension cables must have sufficient con-
ductor cross sections. Unroll cable reels fully.
Do not buckle, squeeze, drag or drive over
power cable or extension cables; protect
from sharp edges, oil and heat.
Place extension cable so that it cannot get into
the fluid to be pumped.
Always unplug before servicing the pump.
BRisk of electric shock from pump
faults!
Before each use, check the equipment - es-
pecially the power and extension cables,
power plug and float switch - for possible
damage. Risk of fatal electric shock!
Do not attempt to repair the pump yourself!
When repaired inexpertly, there is a risk of
liquid entering the electrical parts of the
pump.
ACaution!
To avoid water damage, e.g. flooded rooms,
caused by pump malfunctions or defects:
provide for suitable safety measures such as
the following:
–alarmor
– collection tank with monitoring.
The manufacturer is not liable for any dam-
age caused by:
– improper use of the pump;
– failure to operate and store the pump in a
frost-free environment;
– unauthorised modification of the pump (re-
pairs to electrical equipment may only be
carried out by qualified electricians!);
– use of spare parts which have not been
tested and approved by the manufacturer;
or
– use of unsuitable installation materials (fit-
tings, connection lines etc.).
Suitable installation materials:
– pressure-resistant (min. 10 bar)
– heat-resistant (min. 100°C).
4.1 Connecting the discharge line
Connecting thread details: see Technical
Specifications.
4. Assembly and Installation

3Note:
The optimum pump capacity is achieved by
selecting the largest discharge line diameter.
4.2 Fixing the float switch cable
How the float switch cable is fixed to the
device depends on the particular device
model. If necessary, insert the float switch
cable in the cable clip of the handle.
The following illustration shows the fixed float
switch cable.
ACaution!
The float switch cable may be damaged.
Never pull on the float switch cable to change
its position in the cable holder!
4.3 Installation instructions
For the float switch to function properly, it
must be able to move freely.
Space requirement for DP 18-5 SA, DP 28-
10 S Inox: approx. 60 cm x 60 cm
Space requirement for SP 24-46 SG, SP
28-50 S Inox: approx. 70 cm x 70 cm.
Submerge the pump to no more than the
maximum immersion depth specified in the
technical data.
Install the pump such that the suction inlets
cannot be blocked by foreign objects. If
necessary place the pump on a support
surface.
Ensure sufficient upright stability.
BRisk of electric shock from severed
cables!
Do not lift or transport the pump by the cables
or the discharge hose! The cables and the
discharge hose are not designed to withstand
the tensile stress produced by the weight of
the pump.
4.4 Installing the pump
1. Submerge pump at a slight angle to avoid
creating an air cushion on the underside,
which would prevent priming. Once the
pump is submerged, it can be placed up-
right.
2. Lower pump to the bottom of the fluid con-
tainer.
Use a strong rope fastened to the lifting
eye to lower the pump.
The pump can also be operated when sus-
pended by a rope.
3. Before operating the pump again, ensure
that the pump line has been completely
emptied.
5.1 Switching ON and OFF
After you have connected the pump to the
mains, it will be switched on (9) and off (10)
automatically by the float switch. The point in
time at which switching occurs depends on
the water level.
Adjusting the ON and OFF times for the
pump
The position of the float switch cable in the
cable holder can be changed. The time inter-
val between pump switch-on and switch-off is
thereby adjusted:
– 'Short' float switch cable: ON and OFF po-
sitions are close together.
– 'Long' float switch cable: ON and OFF po-
sitions are far apart.
ACaution!
Attach the float cable so that the OFF posi-
tion is at least 150 mm above the base of the
pump. The pump may run dry and thereby be
damaged.
ACaution!
The float switch must always be able to move
up and down to allow the pump to be
switched on and off.

ACaution!
The pump must not be activated more than
20 times an hour, as this could cause the mo-
tor to overheat.
ADanger from faulty pump!
Take appropriate measures to ensure that
pump faults do not cause consequential
damage through flooding of rooms. This must
be ensured, for example, through installation
of an alarm system or a reserve pump.
ADanger!
Do not let the pump run against a closed
pump line.
5.2 Minimum water level
Continuous operation:
The pump must be completely submerged for
continuous operation to take place.
Restricted operation:
Only restricted operation is possible if the
pump is not fully submerged. Note the follow-
ing restrictions:
ARisk of material damage from dry
running of pump!
The pump can overheat and become dam-
aged as the cooling function of the pumped
medium is reduced. The thermal switch will
react.
Suction operation for a short period only
(2-3 mins).
Monitor the pump's operation during suc-
tioning.
5.3 Pump capacity curve
The pump capacity curve indicates the flow
volume, depending on the delivery head.
ADanger!
Unplug before maintaining or cleaning.
Repair and maintenance work other than de-
scribed in this section should only be carried
out by qualified specialists.
6.1 Regular care
Regular care is required for the pump to func-
tion perfectly at all times. This also applies if
the pump is not switched on for extended pe-
riods of time (e.g. during operation in soaka-
ways).
Cleaning the pump
1. Rinse pump with clean water. Remove
persistent marks, e.g. algae deposits, with
brush and dishwashing liquid.
2. To rinse the inside of the pump:
dip pump into a container of clean water
and switch on briefly.
6.2 Pump storage
ACaution!
Frost damages the pump and accesso-
ries as both always contain water!
If there is a danger of frost, disassemble
pump and accessories and store in frost-
free conditions.
6.3 Device maintenance (only for
SP 28-50 S Inox, DP 28-10 S
Inox)
ACaution!
Lubricant may leak from the pump if the seals
are defective, causing contamination of the
liquid being pumped.
Although the lubricant contained in the sub-
mersible pump for dirty water is non-toxic, it
can alter the water properties.
ADanger!
Maintenance work must only ever be car-
ried out by qualified, specially trained
staff. After 4,000 to max. 8,000 hours of op-
eration, and in any case at least once a year,
the quantity and quality of the oil in the oil res-
ervoir must be checked.

7.1 Troubleshooting guide
Pump does not run:
No mains voltage.
– Check cables, plug, outlet and mains
fuse.
Mains voltage too low.
– Use an extension cable with sufficient
conductor diameter.
Motor overheated; motor protection relay
tripped.
– Eliminate the cause of overheating
(pump blocked by foreign objects?).
Float switch does not switch pump ON
when water level rises.
– Make sure the float switch can move
unrestrictedly. If, despite sufficient mo-
bility of the float switch, the pump does
not switch ON: send the pump to the
service centre in your country.
Motor hums, but does not start:
Pump blocked by foreign objects.
– Clean impeller.
Pump runs, but does not pump properly:
Delivery head too high.
– Observe max delivery head (see 'Tech-
nical Specifications').
Discharge hose kinked.
– Straighten discharge hose.
Discharge hose leaky.
– Seal discharge hose; tighten screw fit-
tings.
Pump runs very noisily:
Pump is sucking air.
– Ensure there is a sufficient water sup-
ply.
– Foreign objects are present (clean
pump).
– Manual mode has been set (shallow
water suctioning).
– Hold pump at an angle when submerg-
ing.
Pump runs continuously:
Float switch does not reach cut-out posi-
tion.
– Make sure the float switch can move
freely.
