2.4 Safety regulations for owner/operator
All safety instructions contained in this manual, all relevant national and local health and
safety codes and any other service and safety instructions issued by the owner shall be
complied with.
2.5 Safety instructions relevant for operation
Always follow these safety instructions before using the pump:
Danger of electric shock:
Protect plug-and-socket connections against moisture and increasing water levels in
flood areas.
When using the pump in swimming pools or ponds and the surrounding area
DIN/VDE 0100 must be complied with.
Hazards resulting from electricity are to be prevented (see for example, the national-
specifications or the regulations of your local electricity supply company)
General danger
If hot or cold machine components involve hazards, they must be guarded against
accidental contact.
Guards for moving parts (e.g. couplings, nozzles) must not be removed from the ma-
chine while in operation.
In dry-well installation (suction mode) the motor housing heats up after a lengthy op-
erating period. You must therefore only use the hinged handles provided on the pump
transport cage to transport the pump and avoid direct contact with the motor housing.
Always wear protective gloves too.
When pumping hot fluids the pump always becomes as hot as the pumped fluid. In
this case you must only touch the pump if you are wearing suitable protective gloves.
In pumping mode strong suction is produced at the intake area of the pump. It is
therefore necessary to ensure that while the pump is running you never allow your
hands, feet, loose clothing (e.g. ties) or jewellery (e.g. chains) to get into the area of
the pump intake (suction side) or pump discharge (pressure side). There is risk of
shearing injuries or getting tangled.
The protection against contact (intake ports) for moving parts (impeller) may not be
removed if the machines are in operation. The pump itself may not be operated with-
out the appropriate protection against contact.
Any leakage of hazardous (e.g. explosive, toxic, hot) fluids (e.g. from the shaft seal)
must be drained away so as to prevent any risk to persons or the environment. Statu-
tory regulations are to be complied with.
Damage of the pump due to inappropriate use:
Store the pump in dry rooms only. If kept dry and clean the pump can be stored down
to a minimum temperature of –20°C. The flooded pump must not freeze.
Always use the carrying handles or the transport cart to transport the pump.
Never lift or lower the pump by the power cable or connected hoses. Always use
chains or suitable ropes.
The pump must not be excessively tilted as operating liquid could otherwise run out
of the engine. See the Engine Subaru User Manual for further details.
2.6 Safety instructions relevant for maintenance, inspection and assembly work
It shall be the user’s responsibility to ensure that all maintenance, inspection and assem-
bly work is performed by authorized and qualified personnel who have adequately famil-
iarized themselves with the subject matter by studying this manual in detail.
Any work on the machine shall only be performed when it is at stand-still, it is being im-
perative that the procedure for shutting down the machine described in this manual as
well as in the operating manual engine Subaru be followed. Pumps and pump units which
convey hazardous media must be decontaminated. All waste emissions such as used oil
must be appropriately disposed of, oil spills must be cleaned up and emissions to the en-

4Operating the pump
Caution:
The pump may only be used in accordance with the instructions in this operation manual.
Note:
Before using the pump, check that the engine has been filled with petrol. Filling during
operation is strictly forbidden.
Danger from electric shock:
Bring electrical plug connections to a flood-proof area to protect them from water. Watch
out for rising water levels in flood areas!
Caution:
For outdoor use, the provisions of EN 60 335-2-41 must be observed.
Danger from electric shock:
No-one should be present inside the pumping medium when the pump is in operation.
4.1 Operating the pump
For safe working on and with the pump, the wearing of safety shoes and safety gloves is
recommended, in order to prevent injury from crushing or cutting.
Each time when using the pump, also ensure the following points:
1. Transport the pump to the place of use.
Caution:
Always transport the pump with the handles provided for this purpose only.
2. Mount the suction cover with inspection glass to the pressure side of the pump and
connect the suction cover to the corresponding connection. This guarantees that the
piston pump is able to generate negative pressure for suctioning. The suction cover
is to be checked for functionality and impurities before assembling, and fixed if nec-
essary. Furthermore, ensure that the pump is sitting evenly on stable ground and
that the engine is dry (see Engine Safety, Engine User Manual).
Caution:
Only the suction cover from Spechtenhauser is to be used. Suction operation with
other suction cover is not possible. Only use a transparent suction hose as a suction
hose.
Danger:
The dimensionally stable spiral hoses for using the pump, as well as the suction
cover, must be fitted on the pressure and / or suction side before use. They serve as
impact protection for the impeller. The pumps themselves may not be operated with-
out the appropriate contact protection. Ensure the absence of foreign objects in the
pump and hoses before operating.
3. In case of the delivered check valve, a leash can be attached to the venting ring for
venting the suction line. When the leash is attached, it is to be ensured that it is 1.5
m longer than the depth of immersion of the suction hose to be employed
4. Fit a transparent, dimensionally stable spiral hose with A or B Storz connection to
the suction side of the pump. For suction with the reciprocating piston pump, the

open end of the hose must be coupled with the Spechtenhauser check valve, and in
this case, for the suction process, the check valve, with the opening flap, must be lo-
cated completely in the medium. For suction, the hose must not take in any air.
Caution:
When placing the transparent, dimensionally stable spiral hoses (suction side) in the
liquid, it must be ensured that the engine is not splashed and that it does not be-
come wet. In addition, the hose should be laid as much as possible with no kinks or
bends.
Caution:
Only the check valve from Spechtenhauser is to be used. Suction operation with ball
flap valves is not possible. Only use a transparent suction hose as a suction hose.
5. Make sure that the pump is standing safely.
Danger:
Before starting work with the pump, it must be ensured that the pump is still standing
evenly on solid ground after fitting the hoses, in order to guarantee trouble-free op-
eration of the pump.
6. Ensure that the engine is switched off. For this purpose the red knob on the engine
must be set to off. Then check the oil and petrol level and fill if necessary. Please al-
so read the safety notes in the Engine Subaru User Manual.
Danger due to deflagration:
Oil and petrol may never be refilled when the pump is operating. Similarly, ensure
that the engine is not too hot while filling (previous pump operation). Please refer to
the Engine Subaru User Manual for exact engine filling instructions.
7. Fill the pump system (suction hose and spiral casing) by activating the Spechten-
hauser reciprocating piston pump with water. For this, the following points are to be
observed.
Caution:
By using the Spechtenhauser reciprocating piston pump with a transparent suction
hose, check valve and suction cover, self-suction of the pump is possible. All cou-
plings used on the suction side must be clean and leak-proof. As soon as air is able
to enter the system on the suction side, pumping is no longer possible. Suction is on-
ly possible with pumping liquid of max. 40 C.
8. Ensure that the stopcock is open and that the hose which leads from the reciprocat-
ing piston pump to the suction cover is not blocked.
9. Lay the suction hose with non-return valve in the medium to be pumped. Ensure that
do not insert the end of the leash into the medium. Furthermore, note that the check
valve is not located on the ground, rather approx. 20 cm above the ground. It is
avoided that stones and so forth are sucked in
10. Now pump using the reciprocating piston pump until the spiral casing is completely
filled with water. During the suction procedure, watch the rising water column in the
transparent hose. Once the water column has fully reached the spiral casing, the
suction process has been concluded. Sucking water into the suction hose of the re-
ciprocating piston pumps is to be avoided under all circumstances. The suction pro-
cess is to be ended before water can be sucked into the suction pipe
Important:
The non-return valve must be loaded with at least 1.5 m water column so that it is
completely watertight.

11. Now loosen the suction cover from the coupling and place this onto the receptacle
on the support frame during the operation. The water column is retained by the
check valve. Now fix a transparent spiral hose or a 90° elbow on the pressure side of
the pump. A suitable fire hose can now be connected to this 90° elbow or this spiral
hose. Lay this at a suitable drain or collection tank. The end of the pressure hose
must be adequately secured against impact. The fire hose should be laid without
kinks, where possible, to achieve an optimum pumping power. It is strongly recom-
mended that you use the optional dimensionally stable spiral pressure hose for the
first 3 - 5m.
Danger:
Ensure that the pressure hose end is adequately secured and fixed. Otherwise,
there is the risk of the hose end being hit when switching on the pump.
12. The suction procedure is now complete and the pump is ready for starting the en-
gine.
13. Now check the shock on the engine and set it to ignition.
14. Turn the pump on by switching on the red power button and then pulling the reverse
starter to start the engine (with E-start, turn the ignition key). Please refer to the En-
gine Subaru User Manual for more information on starting the engine. The ball valve
can now be opened once the engine is running and the water column is there. The
engine can now run at full power using the throttle. The pump should now deliver
with the specified flow rate.
15. Switch off the pump again by turning the red knob as soon as the water level has
fallen so far that the pump intakes air. Please refer to the Engine Subaru User Man-
ual for more information on turning off the engine.
16. Pull on the leash of the check valve so that the remaining water column can run off.
Dismantling of the hoses after end of use
17. Clean the pump with clear water after each use, particularly after using it with muddy
liquid. In addition, let the pump run for about 10 minutes with clean water. The pump
is to then be completely emptied.
18. Drain the rest of the remaining water in the spiral casing using the drain plug. Un-
screw the drain plug and wait until no more water comes and screw it closed again.
19. For transport, the suction cover must be again placed onto the pump and fixed cou-
pled.
4.2 Series connection of Atlantica pumps
To achieve pumping heights of over 15 m, series connection of Atlantica pumps is possi-
ble. With this, the pressure side of the first Atlantica is connected to the next Atlantica
over a dimensionally stable hose.
4.3 Using the wheel set
The Atlantica pumps can also be delivered with an optional set of wheels for easier
transport. Before using them, check the wheels for stability (tightened screws and nuts).
The pumps may only be lifted onto the supporting frame (tilt angle max. 45 ) and pulled
by the handles. If the set of wheels are to be dismantled, remove the four screws and
bring the Atlantica pump down using the handles provided for this. When refitting the set
of wheels, ensure that the holes in the handles are aligned to the holes on the wheel set.
Caution:
If pulled too quickly, the pump can rock and overturn (damage to the pump). Ensure that
the speed is appropriate. The pump should be moved on solid ground.

3. Evenly place the impeller, appropriate for the polygon
connection, on the engine shaft and push it down until it
stops. (impression depth: 27 mm)
4. Screw the impeller with the engine shaft using the
countersunk screw with torx (M8). To fasten the
screws, high-strength screw locking (Loctite) is to be
used. Please refer to Table 6.1.1 Screw Tightening
Torque for the correct screw tightening torque.
5. Place the spiral casing above the mounted impeller on
the motor flange and press it onto the motor flange.

6. Tightly screw the four cylindrical screws with the hexa-
gon socket (M12), inside the pedestal, from the engine
flange to the spiral casing.
(Only the two screws below are shown in the image)
To fasten the screws, medium-strength screw locking
(Loctite) is to be used. Please refer to Table 6.1.1
Screw Tightening Torque for the correct screw tighten-
ing torque.
Insert the stainless steel cover between the spiral cas-
ing and the engine and tightly screw the four hexago-
nal screws with washers (M5) and the suspension eye-
lets.
7. Place the suction cover onto the pump again
Please refer to Table 6.1.1 Screw Tightening Torque for the
correct screw tightening torque.
6.5 Dismantling the V-ribbed belt
The belt must be changed after 500 hours. In addition, changes can be required due to shifting or tearing on
the belt extreme stress. The V-ribbed belt can be disassembled by means of the following steps:
Caution: Work may only be carried out on it when the pump is shut down and secured against
restarting.
1. First, you need to remove the stainless steel cover and spiral casing. For these points, please refer to
section 6.3 points 1 to 5.
2. Loosen the belt tensioner screw so that you can remove
the whole belt tensioner. Take the spring out of the hold-
er at the belt tensioner and the tensioning screw.
3. Take the V-ribbed belt out of the sprocket of the V-ribbed
disks. To do this, push forward against the direction of
the V-ribbed belt and in the direction of the impeller and
turn the shaft. The V-ribbed belt goes down through the
pressure and repeated rotation.

Caution: Danger due to trapping of limbs.
4. Loosen the four cylindrical screws with the hexagon
socket (M8) on the pedestal to the motor flange.
(Only two of the four screws are visible on the image;
the other screws are located opposite)
5. Drive the engine flange out of the pedestal using a
plastic hammer until the entire unit is removed.
6. Remove the V-ribbed belt from the pedestal and replace it. Ensure that the clamping ring is in the rear
pedestal seat. If it has fallen out, put it back in again.
6.6 Mounting the V-ribbed belt
When assembling the impeller, the following steps are to be taken:
Caution: Work may only be carried out on it when the pump is shut down and secured
against restarting.
1. Lay the new V-ribbed belt in the pedestal and ensure
that V-ribbed belt is also threaded when inserting the
unit. Ensure that the clamping ring is in the rear pedestal
seat and properly laid.

2. Place the engine flange on the pedestal, ensuring that
the shaft is inserted evenly into the pedestal seat.
3. Tightly screw the four cylindrical screws with the hexa-
gon socket (M8) on the pedestal to the engine flange.
(Only two of the four screws are visible on the image;
the other screws are located opposite)
4. Insert the V-ribbed belt in the sprocket of the V-ribbed
disks. To do this, push backward against the direction of
the V-ribbed belts and in the direction of the engine and
turn the shaft. The V-ribbed belt enters the grooves of
the V-ribbed disks through the pressure and repeated ro-
tation.
5. Loosen the clamp screw so you can insert the belt ten-
sioner and the spring. Make sure that the spring in the
holder of the tensioning screw is exactly inserted and
guided. Screw on the belt tensioner, but not tightly as it
still has to be adjusted.
6. Due to the tension of the spring the belt tensioner is
pressed against the V-ribbed belt. A belt tension of 160
Hertz (+- 5 Hertz) is needed and this must be strictly ad-
hered to. The required belt tension can be adjusted by
tightening or loosening the tensioning screw. The V-
ribbed belt test device is available as an option for meas-
uring accuracy.
