Operating The Pump
1. Immerse the pump in the water.
For deep water, use a rope (not
included) and secure it to the
handle. Set the pump in the desired
position within the work area or
tank.
2. Insert the plug into the mains
power socket. Where possible
avoid using extension cords as
this can lead to a voltage drop
which may cause power loss and
overheating. Switch on the mains
power to operate pump.
3. To stop operation, turn off the mains power. The pump will also
stop operation automatically once the float switch reaches the
minimum water depth (50mm).
Priming
When immersed and ON the pump will
need to prime and purge the air inside
the pump before water flows at the
outlet. This can take up to 20 seconds.
If operating the pump manually tilting
the pump to allow some air to escape
from the base can help.
Air also escapes from the Air Bleed Valve. When pumping, the
water pressure will shut this valve off.
WARNING! BEFORE SUBMERGING THE PUMP IN
WATER, UNWRAP THE POWER CABLE AND ENSURE
THE PLUG IS CLEAR OF ANY DAMP LOCATIONS.
WARNING! THIS PUMP MUST BE USED WITH
RESIDUAL CURRENT DEVICE RATED 30MA OR LESS.
