•
Check the power cord and plug for damage before using the pump.
•
Important: if damaged, do not use the mains cable or engine housing.
•
Repair is not possible since the cable is moulded into the motor and is
therefore not replaceable.
•
Do not move or suspend the pump by the power cord.
•
Keep the plug dry. To prevent water from running from the cord to the
plug, suspend the cord in a U-shape. (see figure 2.)
•
When working on the pump, always unplug from the electrical outlet to
cut off the power supply.
•
The pump may only be used if it has an adequate supply of water.
•
The pump may only be used for pumping fresh water, without any
chemical additives or other aggressive components, with a maximum
temperature of 35°C.
Commissioning the pump when installing in water (figures 1).
Important: Do not run the pump dry as this may damage the pump.
•
Place the pump in the water to fill it up.
•
To avoid unnecessary contamination, place the pump on solid stone tiles
to prevent it from standing in and
•
Make sure that the water is at least 10cm deep to prevent the pump
from sucking air.
•
Maximum immersion depth of the pump is 2 m under water.
•
Assemble the accessories on the cable connection to the pump.
•
Start the pump by inserting the plug into the socket.
•
The pump power can be adjusted via the control knop on the front of the
suction basket. Switch off the pump when you want to adjust the pump
power and switch it on again to check whether the correct setting is
reached.
•
Care should be taken to protect the pump from frost and freezing.
Overuse safeguard
The built-in safeguard will switch the pump off in the event of overheating.
Remove the plug from the socket and allow the pump to cool down.
The pump must not be switched on after cooling unless it has been checked.
Check the following points:
•
Is sufficient water available?
•
Is the suction basket blocked?
•
Is there dirt in the pump housing (clean as set out in the instructions)?
•
Is the suction/pressure hose/pipe blocked for this or other, connected,
devices?
•
Has the pump cooled down enough?
Once the problem has been resolved, the pump can be switched on again by
re-inserting the plug into the socket.
