The submersible pump is designed to pump only
the following liquids:
− clear water,
− rain water,
− chlorinated water (pool water),
− water for domestic use.
Prohibited use
Your submersible pump is not intended for permanent
operation. The pump may not be used to
pump the following liquids:
− drinking water,
− salt water,
− beverages or liquid foods,
− corrosives or chemicals
− acids or combustible, explosive or gasforming
liquids,
− liquids with a temperature above 35 °C
− sandy water or water containing abrasives,
− waste water containing textile or paper particles.
Description of the Pump

Function of the pump
The submersible pump sucks the liquid to be
pumped into the pump through the inlet strainer
(8) and pumps it out at the outlet.
Thermal protection
Your submersible pump is equipped with a thermal
protection switch which automatically switches
off the pump in case of overheating. The
pump will remain off until it has cooled down.
After about 15 - 20 minutes, the pump will automatically
switch on.
The pump has a non-return valve (2) on
the pump output that prevents the pressure
hose from emptying the pump every
time it is at a standstill.
Setting up and Operating the
Pump
1. Screw the multi-size nipple (10) into the
pump outlet.
2. Attach a hose to the multi-size nipple.
3. Fix the connection cable (3) with cable ties to
the pressure hose.
4. To submerse the pump into a well or cistern,
attach a rope to the rope bracket (4) provided
for this purpose.
You can cut off the tip of the multi-size
nipple to fit the diameter of the hose you
are using. Using a hose with the largest
possible diameter will greatly improve the
performance of the pump.
5. Uncoil the electric cable completely.
Make sure that any electrical connections
are not exposed to water and do not lie
within the outflow of the pump.
When placing the pump in the liquid,
make sure to let it down slowly. You may
need to tilt the pump slightly so that air
trapped in the body is released. Set the
pump on the bottom so that it cannot fall
over. If the bottom should be sandy or
muddy or rocky and uneven, place the
pump on a suitable hard, flat surface or
suspend it from a rope attached to a
secure object. Make sure to leave adequate
room between the pump and the
bottom so that it cannot suck up solid
matter.
Make sure that the pump does not suck in
solid matter. Sand or other abrasive
particles suspended in the liquid will lead
to increased wear and tear and may
impact the performance of your pump.
Before lowering the pump into a well or a
cistern, attach a rope to the handle. When
placing the pump inside a cistern, make
sure that the shaft is large enough for the
pump to fit. For min. shaft dimensions,
see Figure B.
Place a cover over the cistern so that no
one will fall in.
When switching the pump on again after
removing it from a cistern, make sure that
the pressure hose is completely empty
otherwise the pump will not automatically
vent and it could be damaged.
