1.6. GENERAL SAFETY
WARNING! Pump must be used in accordance with Health & Safety, government, local authority, and
water authority rules and regulations.
9 Familiarise yourself with application and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards peculiar to
the pump.
WARNING! Disconnect the pump from the mains power before changing accessories, servicing or performing any maintenance.
9 Maintain the pump in good condition (use an authorised service agent). Keep the pump clean.
9 Replace or repair damaged parts. Use genuine parts only. Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
9 If the bottom of the water container is covered with sludge, sand, gravel or mud etc, suspend the pump or place it on a raised base to
operate above the solid matter. Sand and such substances will reduce working life of pump, and invalidate your warranty.
9 In swimming pools, fish ponds, etc, ensure location is clear of people and animals, including removal of fish from pond.
Note: this pump is not designed for continuous use in a fish pond or similar water feature or display.
8 DO NOT operate the pump if any parts are damaged or missing as this may cause failure and/or possible personal injury.
8 DO NOT use the pump for any purpose other than for that which it is designed.
8 DO NOT use to pump, chemicals, fuels, salt water, explosive, corrosive, inflammable or health-hazardous substances, dangerous liquids
or faecal matter.
8 DO NOT insert hands into the mouth of the pump as this could lead to injury.
8 DO NOT use to pump septic tanks or settling pits. DO NOT pump any liquids other than water.
8 DO NOT use with liquids containing abrasive materials (e.g. sand) or containing mixtures of dirt, sand, mud or clay.
8 DO NOT operate the pump out of water. The pump pick up area must be completely submerged during operation.
8 DO NOT exceed the maximum submersible depth - see specifications.
8 DO NOT operate the pump during freezing temperatures. DO NOT leave the pump in water that may freeze.
8 DO NOT pump liquids over 35° C in temperature.
8 DO NOT use for pumping sea water or inflammable, corrosive, explosive or dangerous liquids.
8 DO NOT carry the pump by its electrical cable, or outlet pipe. Use the handle only.
8 DO NOT touch the mains plug with wet hands.

4. OPERATION
4.1. Installation and commissioning
4.1.1. Attach a sufciently long and strongrope to the handle
before rst use. The pump is submerged into the liquid
on this holding rope and can also be carried with it as
well as the handle.
NOTE: DO NOT suspend unit by the power cable.
NOTE: With continuous use of the pump, the condition
of the rope must be regularly checked as it can decay
and break over time.
4.1.2. Connect pressure pipe
4.1.2.1. For occasional use, use a suitable water hose.
4.1.2.2. The use of rigid pipes with a non return valve is
recommended for use at a xed location. This prevents
return ow of liquid when switching off.
4.1.2.3. Screw the pressure line onto the pressure connection.
4.1.2.4. All threaded connections must be sealed with thread
sealing tape.
4.1.2.5. When using a hose, screw a suitable hose adaptor onto
the pressure connection. Push the hose rmly onto the
hose adaptor and secure with a hose clamp.
4.1.3. Installation
4.1.3.1. The pump needs an area of at least 50 x 50cm (the oat switch must be able to move freely so that it functions properly.
4.1.3.2. The pump can be submerged under water to the submerged operating depth of 7metres.
4.1.3.3. Install the pump so that the suction openings cannot be blocked by foreign bodies (place the appliance on a rm, even base if
necessary.
4.1.3.4. Ensure that the pump is stable.
DO NOT lift the pump with the cable or the pressure hose as these are not designed for the tensile stress from the weight of the pump.
4.1.3.5. Submerge the pump at an angle into the liquid to be delivered, so that no air pocket forms on the underside of the appliance. Suction
would be prevented by this. Once the pump is submerged, it can be righted again.
4.1.3.6. Leave the pump at the bottom of the liquid container. Use a strong rope attached to the carrying handle of the pump for lowering.
4.1.3.7. Tighten the end of the rope rmly after lowering.
4.1.3.8. The pump can also be operated whilst suspended on a rope.
NOTE: For operation whilst suspended on the rope, DO NOT operate without the pressure hose. Avoid the pump twisting round its
longitudional axis.
4.1.4. Operation
4.1.4.1. Connect the pump to mains supply.
WARNING! The oat switch must be able to move so that the submersible pump cannot run dry, doing so would cause damage to the
unit.
4.1.4.2. The oat switch can be set at different heights by afxing it to a different slot on the unit’s body, see picture above.

5. MAINTENANCE
5.1. Before every use:
• check casing and cables for damage
• check oat switch for damage - lift and shake the switch to check the free movement of the contained metal balls
5.2. After every use:
• clean the appliance: rinse with clean water, remove stubborn contamination with a brush and detergent. Submerge the pump in a
container with clean water and switch on for a short time to rinse the inside of the pump. Clean the suction area, see below.
5.3. Cleaning the suction area
5.3.1. Clean all accessible parts of the inside of the casing. Remove bres which have wound round the rotor shaft by opening the
pressure connection. Remove stubborn contamination with a brush and detergent.
NOTE: Before using the pump again, rst ‘soak’ it so that any possible dirt residues do not block the pump.
6. STORAGE
6.1. If there is a risk of frost, dismantle the pump and accessories, clean and store them in a place protected from frost.
7. TROUBLESHOOTING
Fault Cause Solution
Pump does not run. No mains voltage? Check cables, plug, socket and fuse.
Motor overheats due to:
- liquid temperature too high
- pump blocked by foreign bodies
Residual current circuit breaker (RCCB)
triggered.
Motor defective. Contact Sealey service.
Pump runs but does not
pump.
Delivery rate low Delivery height too great. Comply with specications (8m max. head)
Pump runs very loudly. Pump draws in air. Ensure there is sufcient liquid present.
Suction openings blocked. Rectify blockage.
Pump draws in air. Keep the pump at an angle while submerging.
Pump blocked by foreign bodies. Clean the pump suction area.
Pressure line diameter too small. Use pressure line with larger diameter.
Pressure line blocked. Rectify blockage.
Suction openings blocked. Clean suction opening.
Pressure line kinked. Straighten pressure line.
Pressure line leaks. Seal pressure line, tighten threaded connections
Eliminate the cause of the overheating of the liquid (max.
temperature of liquid able to be pumped is 35°C).
Activate RCCB.
Contact qualied electrician if RCCB triggers again.
Switch the pump on and off several times in order to expel
air.
Keep the pump at an angle while submerging.
