4 GENERAL INFORMATION
4.1 Use of the manual
This manual forms an integral part of the appliance and should be kept
for future reference. Please read the manual carefully before installing/
using the appliance. If the appliance is sold, the seller must pass on this
manual to the new owner along with the appliance. Ensure that every
user has access to the manual before the appliance is started up, and
is able to find out about the safety and operating instructions.
4.2 Delivery
The appliance is delivered in a cardboard box.
The supply package is illustrated in fig.1.
4.2.1
Informative material supplied with the
appliance D1 Use and maintenance manual
D2 Safety instructions
D3 Warranty regulations
4.3 Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are not environmental pollutants but must still
be recycled or disposed of in compliance with the relevant legislation
in the country of use.
5 TECHNICAL INFORMATION
5.1 Intended use
These appliances are suitable for pumping clean water or soiled water
containing suspended solids no more than 35 mm in size (e.g. for
pump-out in the event of flooding, or for use in rainwater holding tanks
or reservoirs). Bear in mind the permitted particle size for the type
of appliance used; particle sizes and additional technical data are
provided in the safety data table in this manual.
Appliances for particle sizes up to 5 mm are suitable for clean water,
and those for particles of 25 mm and over are for use with soiled
water. Sand and gravel are not included in references to particles and/
or solids! The reference is to soft, flexible materials (e.g. lint or leaves)
which will not jam inside the pump body (A4) and therefore will not block
the impeller and damage the motor. If it is not possible to ensure that the
pumped liquid does not contain sand or gravel, the appliance must not
be run unattended. If the impeller jams, the appliance must be switched
off at once and the impeller must be freed from obstructions by flushing
it with clean water.
The appliance conforms to the EN 60335-2-41 European standard.
5.2 Improper use
Use by unskilled persons or those who have not read and understood
the instructions in the manual is forbidden.
Supplying the appliance with flammable, explosive, toxic or chemically
aggressive liquids is forbidden.
Use of the appliance in a potentially flammable or explosive
atmosphere is forbidden.
All modifications to the appliance are prohibited. Any modifications
made to the appliance render the warranty null and void and relieve the
manufacturer of all liability under civil and criminal law.
Grinding and polishing substances, or other substances which attack
materials, damage the appliance. These appliances are not suitable
for pumped liquids containing abrasive sand, mud or clay. These
appliances are suitable for pumping water for sanitary purposes, but
not for pumping drinking water!
Faecal substances may not be pumped with these appliances.
Appliances are not suitable for use as fountain pumps, as filter pumps
for garden ponds or for continuous operation (e.g. the continuous
recycling of water in swimming-pool filter systems, or industrial use).
Do not run the appliance when dry, or pump liquids with a valve closed!

6 INSTALLATION
Warning - danger!
All installation and assembly operations must be performed with the appliance
disconnected from the mains power supply (fig. 3).
Warning - danger!
Before use, always perform a visual check on the appliance, and especially
the plug (A12) and power cable (A8), for damage. A damaged appliance must
not be used; in the event of damage, have the appliance inspected by the
Service Centre or an authorised electrician.
Warning - danger!
If the power cable (A8) is cut, the warranty becomes null and void and a
replacement genuine power cable (A8) must be installed during the repair,
at the customer's expense (even in case of repair under warranty). If it is
necessary to extend the power cable (A8), only use an extension with gauge
at least equal to that of the original power cable (A8). Never lift the appliance
or remove the plug (A12) from the socket by means of the power cable (A8).
6.1 Fitting the delivery hose
Before connecting the delivery hose, cut the delivery sleeve (A3)
and shape it so that it will guarantee the highest possible flow rate in
combination with the hose used (fig. 4).
Ideally, the hose diameter should be larger than the approved particle
size for the appliance. Smaller hose diameters drastically reduce the
flow rate. Screw the sleeve onto the pump body (A4), then connect the
delivery hose to the delivery sleeve (A3, fig. 4).
6.2 Bleeding the appliance
Immerse the appliance in the pumped liquid, tilted, to expel all the air
from the body (fig. 5). Hold the appliance in this tilted position until no
more air bubbles come out; the appliance is therefore ready for use.
There is a bleeder hole (A7) between the top and bottom parts of
plastic appliances to allow the air to escape slowly. When all the air has
escaped, water comes out of this hole; this is necessary for technical
reasons and is not a defect. The flow rate stated in the technical data
allows for this leak!
In steel pumps, this bleeder hole (A7) is in the top of the appliance.
6.3 Notes on the place of installation
Before installing the appliance, a recovery rope must be fitted to the
handle (A4 b) to allow it to be lowered into place/recovered easily
(fig.6).
If possible, the appliance should be suspended in the pumped liquid, far
enough off the bottom to prevent it from sucking in solids of
inappropriate size which may foul the suction strainer (A1) or jam the
impeller (fig. 6). Otherwise, the appliance can also be slightly raised
above the bottom (e.g. placed on bricks, fig. 6); however, in this case it
will suck in more dirt particles, which may eventually obstruct it
