Caution
Risk of injury or damage due to
toppling appliance.
Prior to every operation, place
the appliance on a level surface
and secure it against rolling
away.
 Attach the switch cabinet to a suita-
ble wall using screws.
 Attach the fastening rope on both
eyelets so that the pump hangs
straight.
Illustration
Connect garden hose or lifting tube:
 When using a garden hose, screw
the connection adapter into the
connection piece.
Additional sealing is not required.
 Screw a fitting hose connection
piece onto the connection adapter.
 Attach the hose end to the hose
connection piece and secure it by
means of a hose clamp.
Tighten the hose clamp using a
ratchet (approx. 5 Nm).
 Lower the pump on the fastening
rope into the fluid to be delivered.
In order to prevent soiling in the in-
take area, set the pump down on
the ground and then pull it up at
least 50 cm.
The spacer foot protects the pump
against sinking in and soiling.
 Secure the fastening rope.
Illustration
The maximum immersion depth (h1)
describes the depth of the water in
which the pump can still be installed.
Usually it is not necessary to lower the
pump to the maximum immersion
depth.
The delivery height (h2) describes the
height difference between the water
level and the water outlet at the end of
the delivery hose. The maximum deliv-
ery height must be observed so that
the pump can deliver. This must be ob-
served over the entire pathway of the
pump, as the delivery height will in-
crease with the falling water level (due
to pumping).
The fluid level must be at least 18 cm
above the pump base for the pump to
draw independently.
 Insert the mains plug into the socket.
 Set the On/Off switch at the switch
cabinet to "I".
Caution
Dry running damages the pump.

Do not leave the pump unat-
tended during operation.

Alternatively use a dry run
protection or an electronic
pressure switch with dry run
protection (see optional ac-
cessories).
 Set the On/Off switch at the switch
cabinet to "0".
 Disconnect the main plug from the
socket.
