No flammable, gassing, or explosive liquids may be pumped with this pump. This pump must not be used for other liquids, in particular motor fuels, cleaning agents and other chemical products!ImportantToilet paper, urine and faeces are the only substances that belong in a toilet. Everything else belongs in the garbage can! Please note that the waste water can only be pumped into the lifting unit without pressure.NoteSome of the accessories included in the delivery are located inside the lifting unit. Please remove the accessory bagbefore installation.InstallationThe lifting unit will be installed according to EN-12056–4. The lifting unit can be operated at any commercially available toilet with a horizontal outlet. According to the EU standard, the centre of the horizontal outlet must be 18 cm above the floor.ImportantPRESSURE-LESS: When connecting a washing machine to the lifting unit, the waste water hose must not be connected directly to the lifting unit, but must be supplied via a vented pipe system (e.g., via a washbasin which can be slowly introduced into the unit). In case of direct connection, the collecting tank of the lifting unit may burst, and this is not a warranty case. We recommend that assembly and leak testing be carried out by qualified personnel. Pleaseobserve the legal regulations!ATTENTIONDuring installation, make sure that the pump is not freely suspended from the discharge line or power cable.Operating principleThe lifting unit consists of a tank which collects the waste water and an electric pump which is automatically controlled by a pressure switch. The pumping function is activated when the flush is activated, just like a normal toilet. The materials to be conveyed are collected in the container. The air chamber measures the air pressure flowing through the pipe to actuate the pressure switch. The pressure switch starts the engine that drives the turbine/shredder. The waste water is conveyed away through the outlet. This mechanism is simple and the unit is made of high-quality materials. The function is based on a proven concept. The lifting unit consists of a housing with a built-in pump which automatically drains acidic, fatty, and hot water (up to 80 ℃), faeces and toilet paper via a pipe with a diameter of 28 mm, 32 mm or 44 mm to the next sewage system. They are designed to collect waste water from sanitary installations in bathrooms (EN-12050–3, EN-12050–4) or kitchens, including washing machines, dishwashers, and all other appliances. The non-return valve included in the packaging must be installed. The standard EN-12050–3, EN-12050–4 stipulates that if a WC is connected, only a shower, a bidet and a washbasin can be connected, too.The lifting unit cannot be installed on appliances such as washing machines and dishwashers if it is connected to the toilet. If the water flow in the tank cannot be interrupted during normal operation, a device with the same capability must be used which will automatically switch on if necessary. The installation must comply with the European standard EN 12056–4. Fix the container with two plugs (⌀ 3.5 mm) or a similar device using the fixing holes provided. The lifting unit can be connected to any toilet model with a wall drain according to European regulations. It is fixed by inserting the WC drain into the rubber sleeve which comes out of the housing and screwing the supplied clamp.The connection of the drain is on the top side of the appliance and the other consumers in the bathroom or kitchen are the thin sides of the appliance. The connected appliances should be operated separately and not continuously (e.g., shower). The shower and bath drains must be at least 10 cm from the floor. All connected sanitaryfacilities must be able to interrupt the flow of water. If the auxiliary inputs are not used, fit the appropriate stopper.Checking the assembly of the check valve. If the waste water is to be pumped upwards, install the check valve as close as possible to the lifting unit. Emptying toilets and other sanitary units. Connect the drain pipes of the other sanitary units with the rubber connectors supplied and tighten them with the clamp. For shower and bath wastewater, ensure that the siphon slope is at least 1 % (1 cm⁄m) so that the wastewater flows to the lifting system by natural gravity.If other sanitary units are connected along the disposal circuit near the lift, install check valves in the appropriate drainpipes to prevent backflow. The slope of the horizontal components must be at least 1 %. For the lifting unit to switch on when discharging waste water, the incoming waste water pipe should have a gradient of at least 2–3 % and a height difference of at least 20 cm from the siphon to the inlet to the lifting unit. This is both necessary so that the pressure switch in the toilet lifting unit is activated, the lifting unit is switched on and the water is pumped out. Possible errors if this is not considered: the lifting system does not pump the water out, there is always residual water in the pipes,there is residual water in the shower tray.

Maintenance and cleaningRead the safety instructions and instructions carefully before opening the unit for maintenance. Maintenance should only be performed on a current-less device. The lifting unit consists of a waste water container and a chopper with pressure switch. Both areas are easily accessible through the cover. The maintenance access points are marked onthe top of the lifting unit. The maintenance and repair of the device is so comfortably possible.Removal of foreign bodies and blockages1.Disconnect the mains cable. 2.Unscrew the cap with the pump symbol (upper side of the lifting unit). 3.Remove the cap. 4.Unscrew the cap of the chopping chamber. 5.Turn and remove the chopping chamber cap. 6.Remove clogging parts (e.g., with pliers). 7.When maintenance is complete, reassemble the unit using the reverse procedure.TroubleshootingOur devices are suitable exclusively for the disposal of faeces and toilet paper. Some small parts may still be pumped, but larger parts may block the pump. This is the main reason for the incidents recorded by our customer service.The device is working, but does not have enough power or works too slowly to transport the wastewater away.1. Possible cause: The drain pipe is too long or too high. Solution: Adjust the arrangement of the pipes.2. Possible cause: The diameter of the drain pipe is too small. Solution: Use a different pipe.3. Possible cause: A part is clogged. Solution: Start the pump with the manual switch button. If the problem persists, the pump must be blocked.The device is working, but a buzzing noise sounds, but the sewage is not being transported away.1. Possible cause: The pump is blocked. Solution: Check the pump impeller for blockage when the mains plug isunplugged.2. Possible cause: The non-return valve has been mounted the wrong way round. Solution: Mount the non-return valve in the correct direction.The device is working, but is launched in unintended manner.1. Possible cause: The check valve is defective. Solution: Check the non-return valve.2. Possible cause: A leak in the cistern ensures that water flows into the lifting system and from time to time triggers thetransport process. Solution: Repair the cistern or water source.The device is working, but runs permanently.1. Possible cause: The vertical outlet does not have a non-return valve. Solution: Mount a non-return valve.2. Possible cause: The check valve is defective. Solution: Check the non-return valve and replace the defective valve.3. Possible cause: The pressure switch is defective. Solution: Check the pressure switch – a pressure switch that is wet or full of water is defective – the line to the pressure switch must be dry.The device is working, but there is no humming sound. 1. Possible cause: The power connection is defective. Solution: Check the power connection.2. Possible cause: Pressure switch or motor defective or blocked Solution: Check the current connection of the pressure switch and the line of the pressure switch. Check the motor or pump impeller for blockage.Detailed error descriptions and solutionsResidual water in the shower tray For the lifting unit to switch on cleanly when discharging waste water, the incoming waste water pipe should have a gradient of at least 2–3 % and a height difference of at least 20 cm from the siphon to the inlet to the lifting unit. This is both necessary for the pressure switch in the toilet lift to work properly, turn on the lift and pump out the water. Possible faults, if this is not considered, are that the lifting unit does not pump the water out or that there is always too much left in the pipes or possibly in the shower tray. Loud noises, motor does not start or starts heavily, water is not pumped out. These symptoms occur when the lifting system is blocked. If the system is clogged with toilet paper and faeces, in most cases it is sufficient to carefully flush the system backwards with water. To do this, simply apply a little water pressure to the outlet of the lifting unit, e.g., with a garden hose, so that the residues from the pump body are flushed back into the lifting unit. Please make sure that there is no water pressure on the collecting tank of the lifting unit. Otherwise, the pressure switch of the lifting unit will be damaged and the automatic on/off switch will no longer function correctly. In the case of heavy blockages/blockages caused by solids which have jammed in the pump body, it may be necessary to open the pump so that the solids can be removed. Strong impacts from the solids in the lifting unit may even damage the motor bearings. In this case, the motor of the lifting unit must be opened and the bearing replaced. This fault usually manifests itself after the removal or rinsing out of larger solids. The lifting unit can then still be turned freely by hand, but as soon as you try to start the engine, it blocks and only hums. Cleaning can easily be done through the maintenance opening on the top of the lifting unit. Lifting unit does not pump down and is in continuous operation This error occurs in lifting systems that were switched off (no power) and still had inlet, or where sewage was discharged under pressure from a dishwasher or washing machine, or that had more inlet than the pump could pump out. As a result, the systems were “overfilled.” It can then happen that water gets into the pressure switch of the lifting unit. This disturbs the function of the pressure switch. The system then either runs continuously or no longer switches on automatically. Cleaning the unit The lifting unit may only be cleaned from the outside with mild detergents, a damp cloth and soapy water. Damage caused by incorrect cleaning agents is not covered by the warranty.
