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.

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 from 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.
The oat switch can be set at different heights by afxing it to a different slot on the unit’s body, see illustration.
WARNING! The oat switch must be able to move so that the submersible pump cannot run dry.
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.
