OPERATION
The electrical cable must be at least a HO5RN-F 3x0.75mm², with a length of at
least 10 metres.
Any extension cable must be of the type HO5RN-F 3x1.0mm².
Before use, check that the values of the socket to which you wish to connect the
pump correspond to those on the type plate on the pump itself (230V-50Hz) and
that the socket is earthed and has an earth leakage circuit breaker (nominal
voltage ≤30 mA).
Ensure that electrical connections stay dry at all times.
Check that the pump stands firmly on the bottom of the pit, cellar, etc.
Check if the socket is in good condition.
Check if the discharge pipe is properly secured and shows no signs of buckling.
Make sure that no people present in the space to be pumped out
(cellar/boat/pond etc).
If the above conditions have been met, then you may insert the plug in the socket.
The pump will start operating.
Automated function
Once you have plugged the device into the socket, the pump will switch on
automatically when the water exceeds the set minimum level and switch off when the
set minimum level has been obtained.
This means that the pump can be left on at all times and will keep the water in a
cellar or boat, for example, at the required level. Bear in mind that this pump is not
designed to be used continuously; it must be switched off at regular intervals.
Despite the fact that the pump works automatically, regular supervision is required in
order to ascertain that it has not encountered any functional problems and that it has
not been damaged (see also: overheating safeguard).
Manual function
If used manually, your pump will start to work when you insert the plug into the
socket and you ensure that the float switch is set to ‘on’. You do this by holding the
float switch upright (float cable underneath). The pump will continue to work if you
hold the float in this way (or fix it like this). Stop the pump from functioning as soon as
liquid is no longer being pumped; the pumped liquid also cools the motor and without
this cooling effect it may overheat and break down! Always supervise a pump that is
working manually; drying out will lead to increased wear and tear!
You are advised to use the pump manually for short periods only. You should keep
your eye on the pump at all times during manual functioning.
During automatic operation, the pump will turn itself off when there is still some water
in your cellar/boat/pond because the automatic float switch needs space in which to
switch. If you wish to pump out the remaining water, we advise you to use the pump
manually in order to do so. Placing the pump at the lowest point (or in a hollow) will
allow you to remove almost all of the remaining water. Make sure it does not dry out!
At all times prevent the pump from running dry!
