1.2. GENERAL SAFETY
WARNING! Pump must be used in accordance with Health & Safety, government, local authority, and water authority rules and
regulations.
For cleaning and other maintenance to a swimming pool:
9The pump must not be used when people are in the water.
9The pump must be supplied through a residual current device (RCD) having a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30mA.
9The pump is to be supplied by an isolating transformer or supplied through a residual current device having a rated residual operating
current not exceeding 30mA.
9Familiarise yourself with application and limitations, as well as the specic potential hazards peculiar to the pump.
WARNING! Disconnect the pump from the mains power before changing accessories, servicing or performing any maintenance.
9Maintain the pump in good condition (use an authorised service agent). Keep the pump clean.
9If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or its service agents.
9Replace or repair damaged parts. Use genuine parts only. Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
9Only use for pumping liquids under 35°C.
CAUTION in order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the thermal cut-out, this appliance must not be supplied through an
external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.
9If pump is used to pump water from a well, drain or deep receptacle, take adequate precautions to stop persons or animals from falling in.
9Use the built-in handle to lower or raise the pump. It may be necessary to attach a suitable rope or pulley to the handle.
9If the bottom of the water container is covered with sludge, sand, gravel or mud etc, suspend the pump or place it on a raised base to
operate above the solid matter. Sand and such substances will reduce working life of pump, and invalidate your warranty.
9The pump is to be located where ooding can not occur.
9In ood situations, user is responsible for ensuring that appropriate back-up procedures, alarms etc are correctly installed in case of
pump failure.
9In swimming pools, sh ponds, etc, ensure location is clear of people and animals, including removal of sh from pond.
8This pump is not designed for continuous use in a sh pond or similar water feature or display.
8DO NOT operate the pump if any parts are damaged or missing as this may cause failure and/or possible personal injury.
8DO NOT use the pump for any purpose other than for that which it is designed.
8DO NOT use to pump chemicals, fuels or salt water.
8DO NOT insert hands into the mouth of the pump as this could lead to injury.
8DO NOT use to pump septic tanks or settling pits. DO NOT pump any liquids other than water.
8DO NOT operate the pump out of water. The pump pick up area must be completely submerged during operation.
8DO NOT exceed the maximum submersible depth - see specications.
8DO NOT operate the pump during freezing temperatures. DO NOT leave the pump in water that may freeze.
8DO NOT use in swimming pools if people could come into contact with the water whilst pump is in use.
8DO NOT use for pumping sea water or inammable, corrosive, explosive or dangerous liquids.

4. BEFORE USE
4.1. Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow all warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, re and/or
serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
4.2. The pump can be connected to any shock-proof plug which has been installed according to regulations in force.
WARNING! When the pump is to be used near swimming pools or garden ponds and in their area of protection, it must be equipped
with a PRCD (residual current circuit breaker) with a nominal trip current of max.30mA . The pump must not be operated while people
are in the swimming pool or in the garden pond. Please contact your electrician.
WARNING! (Important for your own security) Before starting to run your new submersible pump, please have the following items
checked by an electrician:
• Ground connection
• Zero conductor
• Fault current breaker switch must correspond the safety regulations in force in that region.
They must work faultlessly.
4.3. The electrical connections must be protected from moisture.
4.4. If there is danger of ooding, the electrical connections must be taken to higher ground.
4.5. Circulation of aggressive uids, as well as the circulation of abrasive materials must be avoided at all costs.
4.6. The submersible motor-driven pump must be protected from frost.
4.7. The pump must be protected from running dry.
4.8. Access on the part of children should also be prevented with appropriate measures.
4.9. These submersible pumps is designed for the circulation of water with a maximum temperature of 35° C. This pump may not be used
for other uids, especially motor fuels, cleaning uids, and other chemical products.
5. INSTALLATION
5.1. The submersible pump is installed as follows:
• In a stationary position with xed pipeline or
• in a stationary position with a exible hose pipe.
NOTE: Never install the pump by suspending it unsupported from its delivery pipe or power cable. The submersible pump must be
suspended from the specially provided handle or be placed on the bottom of the shaft.
5.2. To guarantee that the pump works properly, the bottom of the shaft must be kept free of sludge and dirt of all kinds. If the level of water
sinks too far, any sludge in the shaft will dry out quickly and stop the pump from starting up. Therefore it is necessary to check the
submersible motor pump regularly (by carrying out start-up tests).
5.3. The oat switch must be adjusted in a way that the pump can start immediately.
NOTE: The pump shaft should have minimum dimensions of 40 x 40 x 50 cm, so that the oating switch can move freely.
5.4. MAINS SUPPLY
5.4.1. Submersible pump is equipped with a shock-proof plug according to regulations. The pump is designed to be connected to a 230V -
50Hz earthed socket. Make sure that the socket is sufciently secured {min. 6 Amp.) and is in excellent condition.
5.4.2. IMPORTANT: If the mains cable or plug suffers any damage from external action, repairs to the cable should be serviced by a qualied
pecialist using genuine spare parts.
5.5. Fit appropriate discharge pipe to pump outlet and secure with clip. Ensure the diameter of the discharge pipe is the same as, or greater
than, the outlet diameter. A smaller pipe will adversely effect the pump flow rate.

bubbles appear, wait at least 15 seconds before starting pump.
6.2.2. CAUTION! RISK OF DRY-RUNNING
6.2.3. The water into which the pump is placed will act as the motor cooling agent. For this reason the pump must remain submerged at all
times. Should the pump have to be used in shallow water DO NOT operate for more than 10 minutes. Failure to follow this rule will
damage the unit and will invalidate your warranty.

undertaken by an authorised service agent. Failure to observe this rule may be dangerous and will invalidate your warranty.
WARNING! Ensure the pump is disconnected from the mains power supply before attempting any service or maintenance.
7.1. When the pump is often transported in the course of operation, it should be cleaned out with clear water after every use.
7.2. In case of stationary installation, the function of the floating switch should be checked every 3 months.
7.3. All fibrous particles which may have built-up inside the pump housing should be removed with a water jet.
7.4. Every 3 months the shaft ground and as should be cleaned of mud.
7.5. Remove deposits on the floater with clear water.
7.6. CLEANING THE IMPELLER
7.6.1. If excessive deposits collect in the pump case you must dismantle the bottom part of the pump as follows:
1. Remove the intake cage from the pump case.
