7. Pump Information
7.1 Installing the hose
Note
The pumping capacity is further increased the shorter the hose is and the greater the hose diameter is.
The pipe union is enclosed unmounted with the device.
• Slide the hose clamp onto the hose. Illustration B
• When using a hose with a diameter of ¾" or 1":
• Screw the pump connecting piece (see chapter Accessories and spare
parts) onto the pipe union.
• Fasten the hose on the pipe union using the hose clamp
• Shorten the pump connecting piece using the grooves, according to the selected hose diameter. The flow volume is
increased.
• Slide the hose onto the pump connect- ing piece.
• When using a hose with a diameter of 1¼", slide the hose onto the pipe union.
• Fasten the hose on the pipe union using the hose clamp
7.2 Initial Startup
CAUTION
Improper transportation
Risk of injury and damage
Do not carry the pump using the cable or hose.
• Plug the pipe union into Quick-Connect. The hose is connected up.
• Lock in place the float switch at the height adjustment. Illustration C
• Position the pump in the feed fluid:
• Fasten a rope to the carrying handle and immerse the pump.
• Set down the pump horizontally on firm ground. If the ground is muddy, use a brick or something similar for
stabilising.
• Ensure that the suction area is not blocked.

7.3 Operation
7.3.1 Automatic venting
If the fluid level is low, any sucked-in air, or air present in the pump, may escape via the automatic venting device. Fluid can also
leak along with air. Illustration D
7.3.2 Setting the filter basket
The filter basket can be operated in 2 positions. Illustration E
Waste water and clear water delivery
We would recommend this filter basket
position at the start of the pumping
process, since on this occasion the
pumping capacity is at its greatest.
Flat vacuuming
In this filter basket position, flat
vacuuming is possible up to 1 mm
residual fluid height in manual mode.
• Put the pump on the ground.
• Clamp the pump between your feet and take hold of the carrying handle.
• Unlatch the filter basket by turning the handle clockwise.
• Move the filter basket into the required position.
• Lock the filter basket in place by turning the handle anticlockwise.
7.3.3 Automatic Mode
In automatic mode, the float switch controls
the pumping process automatically.
The pump switches on as soon as the float switch reaches the switch-on height caused by the rising fluid level.
The pump switches off as soon as the float switch reaches the switch-off height caused by the sinking fluid level.
The float switch must be able to move freely.
Note
The switching heights vary depending on:
• Position of the float switch
• Cable length between the float switch and lock.
The cable length must be at least 2.5 cm. We would recommend retaining the set cable length.
For information on the switching heights, see chapter Technical data.
1. Set the float switch using the height ad- justment, and the cable length between the float switch and the lock. Note.
When the pump is operated unattended, always set the float switch to the upper- most position in order to ensure that
the pump can switch off reliably. Illustration F. When the float switch is set to the lower- most position, set the cable
length be- tween the float switch and the lock to 2.5 cm, see marking on the cable. Illustration G
2. Move the filter basket into the "waste water and clear water delivery" position.
3. Plug the mains plug into the socket.
7.3.4 Manual Operation
In manual operation, the pump stays switched on. The residual fluid height (see chapter Technical data) can only be reached in
manual operation.

ATTENTION
Damaging the pump due to dry running
Increased wear and tear
Do not leave the pump unattended in manual operation.
Switch off the pump for dry running.
1. Fasten the float switch in the lock, with the nose pointing upwards. Illustration H
2. Move the filter basket into the required position, depending on the fluid level (for the minimum fluid height and
residual fluid height, see chapter 4 Technical data).
3. Plug the mains plug into the socket.
7.3.5 Optimising the Flow Rate
The flow rate is further increased:
• The lower the delivery height is
• The greater the diameter of the hose used is
• The shorter the hose used is
• The smaller the pressure loss caused by the connected up accessories
1. Remove any dirt from the device.
i. Pump clear water.
ii. Rinse out the pump.
2. Press the button for Quick-Connect and remove the pipe union. Illustration I. The hose is removed.
3. Where necessary, remove residue from the hose and on Quick-Connect.
4. Pull the mains plug out of the socket.
7.4 Storage
ATTENTION
Danger of frost
Incompletely emptied devices can be de- stroyed by frost. Completely empty the device and accessories. Protect the device from
frost.
1. Completely empty the pump.
2. Allow the pump and the hose to dry out.
3. Store the pump in a frost-protected place.
