• The suction pipe should be as short as possible because the delivery rate reduces with increas-
ing line length.
• The suction pipe should always slope upwards to the pump in order to prevent air pockets.
• Ensure that there is a sufficient water supply; the end of the suction pipe must always be in the
water.
Connect pressure line
• All connections must be sealed with hemp and thick paste (Fermit) or thread sealing tape (e. g.
Teflon tape); leaks cause air exhaust and reduce or prevent water exhaust.
• Hemp should be used in case of pipe threads from metal; synthetic thread must be sealed with
thread sealing tape.
• All components of the pressure line must be compression-proof.
• All components of the pressure line must be professionally installed.
Electrical connection
The device may only be operated under the following conditions:
• The device may only be connected to outlets with protective contacts that have been profes-
sionally installed, grounded and inspected.
• Mains voltage and fuse protection must comply with the technical data.
• When operating in swimming pools, garden ponds and similar places, the device must be pro-
vided with a residual current of not more than 30 mA by means of a residual-current-operated
protective device.
• When operating outdoors, the electrical connections must be splash-proof; they must not lie in
water.
• Extension cords must have sufficient wire cross section; cable drums must be complete
unwound.
Risk of injury!
If the components are not compression-proof or if they are improperly installed, the
pressure line could burst during operation. Risk of injury from liquid spurting out!
Note:
The device may only be used for industrial water supply, e. g. from the toilets, washing
machine, etc.
It may not be used for drinking water supply.
Mortal danger due to electric shock!
Do not operate the device in wet surroundings!
