1. SAFETY

1.1. ELECTRICAL SAFETY

WARNING! It is the user’s responsibility to check the following:

Check all electrical equipment and appliances to ensure that they are safe before using. Inspect power supply leads, plugs and all

electrical connections for wear and damage. Sealey recommend that an RCD (Residual Current Device) is used with all electrical

products. You may obtain an RCD by contacting your local Sealey dealer.

If the product is used in the course of business duties, it must be maintained in a safe condition and routinely PAT (Portable Appliance

Test) tested.

Electrical safety information: it is important that the following information is read and understood.

1.1.1. Ensure that the insulation on all cables and on the appliance is safe before connecting it to the power supply.

1.1.2. Regularly inspect power supply cables and plugs for wear or damage and check all connections to ensure that they are secure.

1.1.3. Important: Ensure that the voltage rating on the appliance suits the power supply to be used and that the plug is tted with the correct

fuse - see fuse rating in these instructions.

8DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.

8DO NOT pull the plug from the socket by the cable.

8DO NOT use worn or damaged cables, plugs or connectors. Ensure that any faulty item is repaired or

replaced immediately by a qualied electrician.

1.1.4. This product is tted with a BS1363/A 13 Amp 3 pin plug.

If the cable or plug is damaged during use, switch the electricity supply and remove from use.

Ensure that repairs are carried out by a qualied electrician.

Replace a damaged plug with a BS1363/A 13 Amp 3 pin plug. If in doubt contact a qualied electrician.

A) Connect the GREEN/YELLOW earth wire to the earth terminal ‘E’.

B) Connect the BROWN live wire to the live terminal ‘L’.

C) Connect the BLUE neutral wire to the neutral terminal ‘N’.

Ensure that the cable outer sheath extends inside the cable restraint and that the restraint is tight.

Sealey recommend that repairs are carried out by a qualied electrician.

1.1.5. Only allow the minimal amount of pump cable to enter water or wet areas. The electrical cable is designed

for use in water and must not be substituted. If damaged contact a qualified electrician.

1.1.6. Extension cable use. Only use a cable designed for use with water equipment. Contact your dealer or a qualified electrician

for advice. Ensure water is kept clear of electrical mains power supply. DO NOT touch switch or plug with wet hands.

1.1.7. Only allow the minimal amount of pump cable to enter water or wet areas. The electrical cable is designed for use in water and must

not be substituted. If damaged contact a qualified electrician.

1.1.8. Extension cable use. Only use a cable designed for use with water equipment. Contact your dealer or a qualified electrician

for advice. Ensure water is kept clear of electrical mains power supply. DO NOT touch switch or plug with wet hands.

1.2. GENERAL SAFETY

WARNING! Pump must be used in accordance with Health & Safety, government, local authority, and water authority rules and

regulations.

9Familiarise yourself with application and limitations, as well as the specific 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.

9Replace or repair damaged parts. Use genuine parts only. Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.

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 moulded 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. This is not essential but will increase the efficiency and longevity of the pump.

9In flood situations, the user is responsible for ensuring that appropriate back-up procedures, alarms etc are correctly installed in case of

pump failure.

9In swimming pools, fish ponds, etc, ensure location is clear of people and animals, including removal of fish from pond.

Note: this pump is not designed for continuous use in a fish pond or similar water feature or display, see section 4 “Operating

Instructions”.

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 to pump chemicals, fuels, salt water, sea water, inflammable, corrosive, explosive or dangerous liquids.

8DO NOT use to pump septic tanks or settling pits.

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 of 7metres.

8DO NOT operate the pump during freezing temperatures.

8DO NOT leave the pump in water that may freeze.

8DO NOT carry the pump by its electrical cable, or outlet pipe. Use the moulded handle only (fig.1).

9 When not in use, switch off the pump and remove plug from the power supply. Rinse pump, drain out any

water and store in a frost free, safe location.

WARNING! DO NOT allow uncontrolled discharge of contaminated water which would pollute the environment.

4. OPERATION

WARNING! Ensure you read, understand and apply safety instructions.

IMPORTANT As a guide limit the maximum continuous running time for the pump to six hours, followed by three hours

downtime.

4.1. Fit an appropriate discharge pipe to pump outlet and secure with clip; inside diameter “x” “y” or “z” (fig.2). 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.

4.2. Position pump in the water, and place the outlet pipe securely in the discharge receptacle or area. We recommend the pump is

submerged with its discharge outlet facing up to release any trapped air.

4.3. Plug the pump into the electrical mains supply and switch on. The pump will automatically turn on as the level of water rises (fig.1A).

As water level lowers, the float will automatically switch the pump off as it reaches the minimum height (fig.1B). The float may be

adjusted by shortening or lengthening the cable using the notch in the handle. The pump will switch on if the water level is up to or

above the maximum length of the float cable. To function correctly the float must move freely. Ensure the float can do so and that the

cable is not restricted. Check that the pump and discharge are working correctly.

4.4. 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 (float switch overridden) DO NOT operate “dry” for more than 10 minutes.

Failure to follow this rule will damage the unit and will invalidate your warranty.

NOTE: See fig.3 to determine minimum clearance required when using the pump in a restricted area, such as a well or a trough for

example.

5. MAINTENANCE

WARNING! With the exceptions listed below in “TROUBLESHOOTING”, all pump, float, electrical cable service maintenance and repair

must only be 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.

5.1. Keep all parts of the pump clean. Rinse, drain and allow to dry before storing pump.

5.2. Regularly check the water inlet on the base of the pump to ensure there are no blockages. To access the impeller, carefully undo the

base screws and remove base. Clean impeller and replace base ensuring that the O-ring is correctly located.

6. TROUBLESHOOTING

Symptom Possible Cause Remedial Action

Motor operates but there is no suction. 1. Water level below minimum suction

depth.

2. Air bubbles in pump accumulated during

submersion or float is incorrectly posi-

tioned so that pump does not cut out at

minimum level and sucks in air.

3. Clogged intake filter or discharge pipe.

1. Switch off the pump

2. Release air by inclining the pump and

re-immersing it in water.

3. Remove dirt and clean the unit.

Reduced water volume for level of water. 1. Discharge pipe bent or pinched.

2. Discharge pipe too narrow.

3. Pump partially blocked.

1. Straighten pipe.

2. Use larger diameter pipe.

3. Clean pump.

The pump will not start or suddenly stops

during operation.

1. No electrical power.

2. Float not working.

3. Impeller jammed.
