2. INTRODUCTION
Manufactured from heavy-duty corrosion resistant materials with polypropylene motor case and base cover. Fitted with an automatic cut-out,
which can be set at multiple heights using an innovative cable xed mounting bracket. Minimum water depth of just 5mm. Designed for clean
water although these pumps will accept small particles up to 5mm. Suitable for the effective drainage of cellars, sinks, cisterns, baths and the
general transfer of water.
3. SPECIFICATION
4. INSTALLATION
4.1. Attach a sufciently long and strong rope to the handle
before rst use. The pump is submerged into the liquid
on this holding rope and can also be carried with it as
well as the handle.
NOTE: DO NOT suspend unit by the power cable.
NOTE: With continuous use of the pump, the condition
of the rope must be regularly checked as it can decay
and break over time.
4.2. CONNECT PRESSURE PIPE
4.2.1. For occasional use, use a suitable water hose.
4.2.2. The use of rigid pipes with a non return valve is
recommended for use at a xed location. This prevents
return ow of liquid when switching off.
4.2.3. Screw the pressure line onto the pressure connection.
4.2.4. All threaded connections must be sealed with thread
sealing tape.
4.2.5. When using a hose, screw a suitable hose adaptor onto
the pressure connection. Push the hose rmly onto the
hose adaptor and secure with a hose clamp.
4.3. INSTALLATION
4.3.1. The pump needs an area of at least 50cm x 50cm (the oat switch must be able to move freely so that it functions properly.
4.3.2. The pump can be submerged under water to the submerged operating depth of 7metres.
4.3.3. Install the pump so that the suction openings cannot be blocked by foreign bodies (place the appliance on a rm, even base if
necessary.
4.3.4. Ensure that the pump is stable.
8DO NOT lift the pump with the cable or the pressure hose as these are not designed for the tensile stress from the weight of the pump.
4.3.5. Submerge the pump at an angle into the liquid to be delivered, so that no air pocket forms on the underside of the appliance. Suction
would be prevented by this. Once the pump is submerged, it can be righted again.
4.3.6. Leave the pump at the bottom of the liquid container. Use a strong rope attached to the carrying handle of the pump for lowering.
4.3.7. Tighten the end of the rope rmly after lowering.
4.3.8. The pump can also be operated whilst suspended on a rope.
NOTE: For operation whilst suspended on the rope, DO NOT operate without the pressure hose. Avoid the pump twisting round its
longitudional axis.
5. OPERATION
5.3.1. Connect the pump to mains supply.
WARNING! The oat switch must be able to move so that the submersible pump cannot run dry, doing so would cause damage to the
unit.
5.3.2. The oat switch can be set at different heights by afxing it to a different slot on the unit’s body, see picture above.
