2 LOCATION  GENERAL
2.11 Access: For emergencies and maintenance the pump must be
easily accessible.
2.12 Do not run against a closed valve for periods longer than 5 minutes.
The water in and around the pump must not be allowed to freeze.
This will result in pump damage.
2.13 Do not under any circumstances use the supply cord fitted, as a
means to carry or lower the pump into position on installation.
Attach a rope sling to the handle.
2.14 When operating continuously to avoid overheating of the motor, the unit
must be installed in the vertical position and must be submerged to the
correct levels at all times. However, when the automatic float switch
option is selected, the pump may be operated partially submerged for
short periods (see float switch operation section
for further details).
2.15 Setting up: Set up unit as shown below.
1. Open lid to access unit (Fig. 2).
2. Uncoil and feed both the
lay flat hose and the
supply cable through the
hole in the lid (Fig. 3).
3. Set switch to auto or
manual as required (see
Section 2.17).

2.16 Float Switch: The pump incorporates an integral automatic float switch which
has two modes of operation, auto and manual.
The float switch consists of a float which moves up and down on a vertical
axis within a housing.
2.17 Float Switch Operation: The float switch operation mode is changed by
moving the selection lever (1) either up for the Manual position or down for
the Auto position.
2.18 Automatic Operation (Switch Position ‘Down’): The integrated float starts
and stops the pump automatically when the selection indicator is set to
automatic. It also provides a low level cut out to prevent dry running.
2.19 Manual Operation (Switch Position ‘Up’): To start the pump, lift the selector
lever (1) to the up position. This will cause the pump to run continuously.
In this condition the pump will empty the sump down to a level of 3–6 mm.
The pump must then be manually stopped to avoid dry running and pump
damage.

3 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
3.11 Regulations: The electrical installation must be carried out in
accordance with the current national electrical regulations and
installed by a qualified person.
3.12 Safety: In the interests of electrical safety a 30 mA residual current
device (R.C.D. not supplied) should be installed in the supply
circuit. This may be part of a consumer unit or a separate unit.
3.13 Before starting work on the electrical supply ensure power supply is
isolated.
3.14 Isolate all appliances in the water from the electrical supply before
putting your hands in the water.
3.15 If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by Stuart Turner
Ltd or an official Service Agent to avoid hazard.
3.16 If the pump is used to empty a swimming pool, the pump must not
be used when people are in the water. Flush after use to remove
the chlorine.
3.17 All motors are thermally protected by an integral auto-resetting thermotrip
and are rated for continuous use.
3.18 Earthing: This appliance must be earthed via the supply cord.
3.19 Connections: The motor is provided with a factory fitted supply cord and
moulded plug. This must be connected to the mains supply via a 5 Amp
double pole switched, socket outlet in compliance with BS 1363–2.
The socket outlet should be mounted in an easily accessible position and
should be labelled if confusion is possible, to allow easy identification of the
pump isolating switch.
3.20 Wiring Of Connection Unit:
The moulded plug fitted to this appliance is not waterproof - keep dry.
If the plug supplied is not suitable for your socket outlet, it should be cut off
and destroyed.
A plug with bared flexible cords is hazardous if engaged in a live socket
outlet.
The end of the flexible cord should be suitably prepared and correct plug
fitted, as follows:
The wires in the mains lead (supply cord) are coloured in accordance with the
following code:
Green and Yellow: Earth
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not
correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your
connection unit proceed as follows:
zThe wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the
terminal in the connection unit which is marked with the letter E or by the
earth symbol: or coloured green or green and yellow.
zThe wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which
is marked with the letter N or coloured black.
zThe wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.

3.21 Fuses: A 5 Amp fuse size should be used with the appropriate pump.
3.22 Supply Cord Extension: The pumps are fitted with a supply cord suitable for
outdoor and underwater use. The cord specification is as follows:-

All Models HO5RN-F3 G 1.00 mm 10
4 COMMISSIONING
4.11 The pump chamber must be full of water at all times. Damage will result if
pump runs dry.
4.12 The pump must be submerged before starting. Take care when submerging
the pump to ensure all air is purged from the casing. This is done by slowly
submerging the pump and gently agitating whilst doing so. This will enable
any trapped air pockets to be released.
4.13 Turn on the electrical supply and water movement should be immediately
evident from pump outlet. If it is not, repeat step 4.12.
4.14 For Further Technical Support: Phone the Stuart Turner TechAssist team on
[phone]. Our staff are trained to help and advise you over the
phone.
Note: When pumps are installed in another manufacturers original equipment,
please contact the manufacturer for advice.
If an extension cord is necessary a cord of the proper type and rating must be
used.
In general for 230 volt pumps on distances up to 40 metres (inclusive of
original cord length) the same specification cord as fitted to the pump can
be used. For distances above 40 metres a larger cord size may be required
due to voltage drop and advice must be obtained based upon installation
details.
Any connectors or junction boxes must be specifically suited for outdoor use
and installed in accordance with manufacturers instructions.
Any cable routed underground must be protected to local standards.
