Slide the acorn nut over the selected
hose connection.
 Place the flat seal into the hose connec-
tion piece.
If you would like to prevent the water
that is standing in the hose or above the
pump after the pump has been turned
off, we recommend that you use the in-
cluded backflow valve. Before inserting
the backflow valve, the flat seal must be
removed. Pay attention to correct posi-
tioning.
 Screw the suction hose with the union
joint on the pump
 Push the hose on the hose connection
and fasten it with appropriate hose clip
Note:
The larger the hose diameter and the short-
er the hose, the higher the feed rate.


Unfold the folding legs if you are work-
ing without pre-filter (only SCP 16000 ).
Illustration

Install the pre-filter depending on the
level of impurities in the fluid to be trans-
ported (for e.g. leaves or plant fibre).


In Automatic mode set the IQ Level
Sensor to the desired switching height.
The IQ Level Sensor can be removed
from the guide rail toward the top and
placed separately if necessary.
Illustration

Place the pump on a level, stabile sur-
face in the liquid to be transported, en-
sure that it is standing firmly or immerse
it using a rope tied to the handle.
The suction area should not be blocked
fully or partially through the impurities.
The liquid level must at least be 3 cm (SCP
16000) and 8 cm (SDP 18000) for the pump
to suck in liquids independently.
If the liquid level is less than 4 cm (only
SCP 16000), proceed according to instruc-
tions in the chapter of flat suction.

Insert the plug in the socket and select
one of the following operating modes.
In the automatic mode, the IQ Level Sensor
controls the pumping operations. The
pump starts when the fluid level reaches
the IQ Level Sensor. The pump switches off
automatically after 10 to 60 seconds (de-
pending on the ambient conditions) when
the fluid level falls below the IQ Level Sen-
sor. The pump automatically conducts the
adaptation to the necessary trail time/pump
time. Thi setting remains saved for a max.
of 24 hours or until the mains plug is pulled
out. If the mains plug is pulled prior to the
24 hour time period, or after the 24 hours
have elapsed, the pump will automatically
