3.Range of Application and Media
This pump is intended for pumping water in domestic applications, such as
−pumping containers, sumps and flooded basements;
−fountain pumps;
−circulation to avoid putrefaction;
−feeding false rivulets and brooks.
Caution!
The max. permissible fluid temperature is 35 °C.
Pumping liquids containing abrasives (such as sand) reduces the service life of the pump.
4. Safety
4.1Specified conditions of use
This pump must not be used to supply drinking water or for pumping foodstuff.
Explosive, flammable, aggressive fluids or substances detrimental to health, sewage must not be pumped.
This equipment is not suitable for commercial or industrial use.
Any other use is not as specified. Use not as specified, alteration of the machine or use of parts that are not approved by the equipment manufac- turer, can cause unforeseeable damage!
4.2General safety instruc- tions
Children, juveniles and persons not fam- ilar with the instructions are not permitted to operate the pump.
When used in swimming pools and garden ponds and their range of protection, the regulations according to DIN VDE 0100
Also all local regulations pertaining to the safe operation of submersible pumps are to be observed.
The following residual risks do principally exist when operating submersible pumps and can not be fully eliminated – even by employing safety devices.
Hazard by ambient conditions!
Do not use the pump in hazardous locations or near inflammable liquids and gases!
Danger! Risk of electric shock!
Do not touch the plug with wet hands! To unplug always pull at the plug, not the power cable.
Connect only to an earthed outlet that is properly installed, earthed and tested. Mains voltage and fuse protection must correspond to those stated in the "Tech- nical Specications".
Protection must be provided by a residual current device (RCD) of max. 30 mA capacity.
Use only extension cables of sufficient lead cross section (see "Technical Spec- ifications"). Unroll cable reels fully.
Do not buckle, squeeze, drag or drive over power cable and extension cables; protect from sharp edges.
ENGLISH
Place extension cable so that it can not get into the fluid to be pumped.
Always unplug before servicing the pump.
Danger by pump failings!
Before each use check the pump, especially the power cable, plug and float switch for possible damage. Risk of fatal electric shock!
A damaged pump must be workmanlike repaired before it can be used again.
Do not attempt to repair the pump your- self! When repaired inexpertly there is a hazard of fluid entering the electrical parts of the pump.
5. Prior to Operation
5.1Discharge hose connec- tion
∙Attach discharge hose to the dis- charge port (9).

5.2Installation
∙Required space is approx. 50 cm x 50 cm (for the float switch to operate properly it must be able to move freely).
∙The pump must not be submerged deeper into water then stated in the "Technical Specifications".
∙Place pump so that the suction inlet can not be blocked by foreign objects (stand on a base, if neces- sary).
∙Ensure sufficient upright stability.
Caution!
Do not lift pump at the cable or discharge hose; both are not designed for the tensile load by the weight of the pump.
1.Submerge pump at an angle to avoid an air cushion at the under- side, which would prevent priming. Once the pump is submerged, it can be set into an upright position.
2.Lower pump to the bottom of the fluid container. Use a strong rope, fastened to the cable eye, to lower the pump.
The pump can also be operated when suspended by a rope.
