6. Operation
6.1 Using for the fi rst time
•
Install the equipment on a solid and level
surface.
•
Remove the ventilation screw (6).
•
Unscrew the coarse filter screw (4) using the
supplied wrench (10) and remove the coarse
filter (12) together with the non-return valve
(13) as shown in Figure 3. Now you can fill the
pump housing with water via the coarse filter
screw (4). Filling the intake line accelerates
the intake process.
•
Assemble in reverse order.
•
Open the discharge line.
•
Connect the mains cable.
•
The priming operation starts automatically.
•
After finishing the work, pull out the power
plug of the equipment.
6.2 LED indicator and fl ow switch
The fl ow switch cannot be adjusted or switched,
it is fully automatic. There are only 3 LEDs which
indicate its operating status. (Figure 4)
Green and yellow are lit:
The pump is in operation and starts up immedia-
tely; a consumer for drawing off transport fl uid is
open.
Green and red are lit:
1. The pump is building up pressure (e.g. a
water tap is closed) and then switches off au-
tomatically.
2. The pump is running dry without transport
fl uid. The fl ow switch will make 3 attempts to
eliminate the dry running before the dry run-
ning guard fi nally trips.
Green is lit, red is fl ashing:
The dry running guard has tripped; it is no longer
possible to draw in the transport fl uid. Use the
pump’s operating manual to fi nd the cause of the
fault (e.g. a leaking intake line) and rectify it. Then
restart the pump by pressing the Reset button on
the fl ow switch.
6.3 Intake pressure gauge
If the pump has been started up correctly, it will
pump water and the indicator on the intake pres-
sure gauge in the coarse fi lter screw (4) will rise
to the applicable suction height. During operation
the current suction height can be read off the in-
take pressure gauge (4). (Figure 5)
If the pump fails to pump any water when a pri-
ming attempt is made and the value on the intake
pressure gauge stagnates or stays at 0 m, this
means that there is a problem on the intake side.
Check all connections and the suction hose for
possible leaks. Filling the pump with water can
help the priming attempt. As a basic principle, we
recommend the use of a suction set with suction
hose, intake cage and non-return valve.
7. Replacing the power cable
Danger!
If the power cable for this equipment is damaged,
it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its
after-sales service or similarly trained personnel
to avoid danger.
8. Cleaning, maintenance and
ordering of spare parts
The equipment is almost completely maintenance
free. In order to ensure a long service life, howe-
ver, we recommend that you regularly check and
care for the product.
Danger!
The equipment must be disconnected from the
power supply (pull the power plug) prior to perfor-
ming any maintenance.
8.1 Servicing
•
If the equipment becomes clogged, connect
the discharge line to the water line and dis-
connect the suction hose. Open the water
line. Switch on the equipment several times
for approx. two seconds. This should resolve
the majority of clog-related problems.
•
There are no parts inside the equipment
which require additional maintenance.
8.2 Cleaning the coarse fi lter insert
•
Clean the coarse filter insert at regular inter-
vals, and replace it if necessary.
•
Remove the coarse filter screw (4) and coar-
se filter (12) together with the non-return val-
ve (13) (Figure 3).
•
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or petrol
to clean the coarse filter and the non-return
valve.
•
Clean the coarse filter and the non-return val-
ve by tapping them on a flat surface. In cases
