1 APPLICATION
This pump is used primarily as cellar pump. When installed in a shaft, the pump provides
protection from flooding.
It is also used wherever water has to be moved from one place to another, e.g. in the home,
agriculture, horticulture, plumbing and many other applications.
It is not designed for commercial use.
Pollution of the liquid could occur due to leakage of lubricants.
WARNING !For your own safety, read this manual and the general safety
instructions carefully before using the appliance. Your power tool should
only be given to other users together with these instructions.

4 GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to heed warnings and follow instructions
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Keep safety warnings and instructions
for future reference. The term "power tool" in the safety warnings refers to your mains-
operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

5 BEFORE START-UP, NOTE THE FOLLOWING!
The pump can be connected to any shock-proof plug which has been installed according
to regulations. The plug must have a supply voltage of 230V ~ 5 Hz. Fuse min. 6 Amp.
Caution!
When the pump is to be used near swimming pools or garden ponds and in their area of
protection, it must be equipped with a PRCD (residual current circuit breaker) with a nominal
trip current of max. 30 mA (according to VDE 0100, part 702 and 738).
The pump must not be operated while people are in the swimming pool or in the garden pond!
Please contact your electrician!
Attention!
(Important for your own security) Before starting to run your new submersible pump, please
have the following items checked by an expert:
Ground connection
Zero conductor
Fault current breaker switch must correspond to the safety regulations of the power plants
and they must work faultlessly.
The electrical connections must be protected from moisture.
If there is danger of flooding, the electrical connections must be taken to higher ground.
Circulation of aggressive fluids, as well as the circulation of abrasive materials must be
avoided at all costs.
The submersible motor-driven pump must be protected from frost.
The pump must be protected from running dry.
Access on the part of children should also be prevented with appropriate measures.
Consistency
Your submersible pump is designed for the circulation of water with a maximum temperature
of 35° C. This pump may not be used for other fluids, especially motor fuels, cleaning fluids,
and other chemical products!
6 INSTALLATION
The submersible motor pump is installed as follows:
In a stationary position with fixed pipeline
or
in a stationary position with a flexible hose pipe.
Please note!
You should never install the pump by suspending it unsupported from its delivery pipe or
power cable. The submersible motor pump must be suspended from the specially provided
handle or be placed on the bottom of the shaft. To guarantee that the pump works properly,
the bottom of the shaft must be kept free of sludge and dirt of all kinds.
If the level of water sinks too far, any sludge in the shaft will dry out quickly and stop the pump
from starting up. , Therefore it is necessary to check the submersible motor pump regularly (by
carrying out start-up tests). The “switch on” point can be adjusted by repositioning the sensor
(5) in one of the 4 available positions.
Mains supply
Your new submersible pump is equipped with a shock-proof plug according to regulations. The
pump is designed to be connected to a 230-240V ~50 Hz earthed socket. Make sure that the
socket is sufficiently secured (min. 6 Amp.) and is in excellent condition. Introduce the plug
into the socket and the pump is ready to go.

Important Note!
If the mains cable or plug suffers any damage from external action, repairs to the cable are
prohibited.
7 SETTING TO WORK
After having read these instructions carefully, you can set your pump to work, reconsidering
the following:
Check if the pump rests on the ground of the shaft.
Check of pressure cord has been attached properly.
Check if electrical connection is 230V ~ 50 Hz.
Check if socket is in good condition.
Make sure that water and humidity can never come to the mains supply.
Avoid pump running dry.
7.1 Setting the ON/OFF operating point
The “switch on” point can be adjusted by repositioning the sensor (5) in one of the 4 possible
positions. (16, 20, 24 or, 28cm)
The switching on and off of the pump is based on the “Hall voltage” principle (the Hall effect).
(Edwin Herbert Hall (° November 7, 1855 - + November 20, 1938).
The switching on and off of the water pump is controlled by the combination of two signals: the
change of the motor speed (loaded / no load) and the change of the water level (submerged /
dry).
Operation:
1. When the pump is not submerged or runs at no load (dry), the electronic switch will
switch the pump off. If the sensor is still under water, the pump can only be restarted by
pulling the mains plug and then plugging it in again (reset).
2. When the pump is under water (loaded) and the water level is above the two touch points
(submerged), the electronic switch will start the pump after 5-6 sec.. When the water
level is below the minimum pump level (dry), the electronic switch will stop the pump.
1. When the pump motor is blocked (overloaded), the electronic switch will stop the pump.
The pump can only be restarted by pulling the mains plug off and then putting it in again
(reset).
This appliance cannot be used by children or people who are physically, mentally or
developmentally impaired, or people who lack experience or knowledge, except in case
these people receive instruction from a person responsible for their safety, a
supervisor, or by studying the preceding instructions concerning use of this appliance.
8 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

plug.
Never use solvents such as petrol, alcohol, ammonia water, etc. These
solvents may damage the plastic parts.
8.1 Maintenance guidelines
This submersible pump is an approved, maintenance-free high quality product, which is
subject to severe final controls. We recommend regular inspection and maintenance to ensure

Important ! Note!
Remove the mains plug before all maintenance work.
When the pump is often transported in the course of operation, it should be cleaned out
with clear water after every use.
All fibrous particles which may have built-up inside the pump housing should be removed
with a water jet.
Every 3 months the shaft ground and as should be cleaned from mud.
Remove deposits on the floater with clear water.
8.2 Cleaning the impeller
If excessive deposits collect in the pump case you must dismantle the bottom part of the pump
as follows:
1. Remove the intake cage from the pump case.
2. Clean the impeller with clear water.
Important! Do not put down or rest the pump on the impeller!
3. Re-assemble in reverse order
