it is essential that these instructions are carefully
read before erection or commissioning by both the
installation crew as well as those responsible for
operation or maintenance. The operating instructions
should always be readily available at the location of
the unit.
In addition to following the safety regulations of a
general nature listed under these main headings, it
is also essential that the special safety instructions
given under other headings be observed.
The safety instruction listed in this operating manual,
the existing National Regulations for safety, as well
as any internal operating or safety regulations which
apply in the user’s own premises must be observed.
The general and specic health and safety guidelines
are described in detail in the “Safety Instructions for
Sulzer Products Type ABS” booklet. If anything is not
clear or you have any questions as to safety make
certain to contact the manufacturer Sulzer.
Dangers which could arise due to non-
observance of safety instructions
The non-observance of the safety instructions can
lead to both danger to personnel and also to possible
harm to the environment or the unit itself. Non-
observance of the safety instructions can invalidate
the rights of the user to any compensation or redress.
In detail, non-observance can for example result in
the following dangers:
- Failure of important functions of the unit/installation

*VDMA=Verband Deutscher Maschinen- und
Anlagebau e.V. (German Machinery Manufacturers
Association).
End of life units can be returned to
Sulzer or recycled in accordance with
local regulations.
Transport
During transport the unit should not be dropped or
thrown.
cThe unit should never be raised or
lowered by the power cable.
A handle is provided for transport. If necessary, it is
possible to suspend the pump by attaching a rope or

Application
The submersible wastewater pumps of the Robusta
series are reliable quality products designed for the
following applications:
- Pumping of clear water.
- Pumping of rain water.
- Pumping of waste-water with a maximum solids
content of 0.5%
cThe pump must not be used in an
explosive or ammable environment or
for pumping ammable liquids.
mThis product is only suitable for
removing clear and dirty water up to a
water temperature of 40 °C or up to a
maximum of 60 °C during short-term
operation.
If the system is fed water from products
such as washing machines, then the
maximum water temperature could be
exceeded if the device is not equipped
with discharge cooling or if this is not
switched on, e.g. in order to save energy.
This may cause damage to the pump
or the pumping system. In such case
Sulzer will not accept any guarantee or
warranty claim.
If necessary, contact the manufacturer
of the device or devices provided for
connection (e.g. washing machines) to
obtain information on how to switch on
discharge cooling.
Our systems are checked in accordance
with EN 12050 LGA and conform to the
current standards.
Also note that the maximum inlet
temperature to the public sewer system
is 35 °C and that you must ensure that
the water is cooled accordingly.
NOTE: As with all electrical devices, this
product may fail due to operating
errors, absence of mains voltage,
or even a technical defect. Such a
failure may result in the medium or
water escaping. If damage may occur
due to such failures, measures are
required to avoid damage arising.
In this respect, taking account of
the conditions in question, use of
an emergency generator, provision
of an additional and appropriately
connected second unit, and
particularly the use of an off-grid
alarm system, are to be considered.
These pumps should not be used for the pumping of:
- Faecal matter.
- Aggressive uids such as acids, lyes (caustic
soda) or salts.
- Flammable liquids such as petrol, oil or phenols.
- Commercial and agricultural waste.
- Solid substances such as ash, rubbish, glass,
sand, brous material, cardboard, paper towels,
textiles, diapers, kitchen waste, coffee grounds,
shredder waste.
- Liquid substances that can harden, such as
bitumen, cement, lime, lime milk (whitewash),
mortar, potato starch, grease (edible oils and

fats), synthetic resin, synthetic resin emulsion, tar,
paint residues.
- Cleaning agents, disinfectants.
- Abrasive material.
The pumps conform to the EU machine directive. See
nameplate.
NOTE Leakage of lubricants could result
in pollution of the medium being
pumped.
Nameplate
We recommend that you record the data from the
standard nameplate on the pump in the corresponding

Commissioning
The manufacturer guarantees that a new pump
will not emit airborne noise in excess of 70 dB(A)
during normal operation, when either fully or partially
submerged.
Before commencing operations, the pump/pump
station should be examined and a function check
carried out. Particular attention should be paid to the
following:
- Check that the power cable and plug are
undamaged.
- Does the electrical connection comply with
regulations?
- Is the motor overload correctly set?
- Is the level control system operating correctly?
- Are the switch ON switch OFF levels correctly set?
mThe pump must not be run if it has been
partially dismantled.
mIn all installations, the power supply to
the Robusta pump must be via a residual
current device (e.g. RCD, ELCB, RCBO
etc.) with a rated residual operating
current not exceeding 30 mA. For
installations not having a xed residual
current device the pump must be
plugged into the power supply through a
portable version of the device.
cIn the case of Class I (EN 60335)
submersible pumps such as the Robusta
series, all accessible metal parts are
connected to the earth lead. Before
operation a qualied person should
check that the earth lead is correctly
connected.
cRobusta pumps must not be operated
in places where a person could be
immersed or in contact with the
pumped medium, either intentionally or
accidentally, e.g. swimming pool, garden
pond, fountain, ooded area.
cPumps for use in swimming pools where
people are present must only use
Class III (EN 60335) pumps with a
voltage not greater than 12 V.
NOTE Suitable earth leakage protection
devices are available from electrical
suppliers. Please consult your
electrician.

Installation and Operating Instructions (Original Instructions) 5
Light Drainage Pump Type ABS Robusta 200 and 300
Service and maintenance
cBefore any work is started, check that
the pump is isolated from the power
supply and cannot be energized.
cTo avoid danger, if the power cable is
damaged it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or its service agent or a
similarly qualied person.
Regular inspection and preventive maintenance will
ensure more reliable operation. The pump should be
inspected every six months, but more frequently if the
operating conditions are difcult.
However, should a fault occur, do not attempt to
improvise but call on your Sulzer Service Centre.
This applies particularly in the case where the unit
is continually switched off by the current overload in
the control panel, or by the thermal sensors of the
thermo-control-system.
For a complete overhaul of the pump, please get in
touch with an authorized Sulzer workshop or your
Sulzer dealer.
If the pump is taken out of service, in order to prevent
deposition of soil or other materials the pump should
be cleaned by pumping clear water.
If there are leaves or brous matter in the medium
being pumped we recommend that the inlet screen be
cleaned from time to time.
Rotate the inlet screen clockwise to remove it, and
anti-clockwise to lock it back into place.
TS-version:
- Remove the oat housing from the pump by
pressing it in at its sides at its lower end and pulling
it free from the motor housing.
- Remove the oat from the oat housing.
- Clean all parts.
- Ret the oat and oat housing.
- When pressing on the oat housing it is necessary
that the change-over switch “HAND AUTOMATIC”
is in the lower position.
- Press the selector switch upwards and check the
pump at setting “HAND”.
KS-version:
- Clean oat
Electrical connections
The pump must be connected to terminals or starting
equipment installed at a level at which the pump
cannot be ooded.
cAll electrical equipment must always be
earthed (grounded). This applies to the
pump and to any monitoring equipment.
cThe electrical installation must conform
to national and local regulations.
Check that the mains voltage, frequency, starting
equipment, and method of starting agree with the
particulars stamped on the motor nameplate.
The unit should be protected by a correctly
dimensioned slow blow fuse (suitable for the rated
power of the pump). We recommend the use of an
overload relay. The electrical installation shall be
inspected by an authorized electrician.
