Operation

Installation and commissioning

Attach a sufficiently long and strong rope to the han-

dle before first use. The pump is submerged into the 

liquid on this holding rope and can also be carried 

with it as well as with the handle.

Connect pressure pipe

Use a suitable water hose with a diameter of DN 25 

to DN 40 for only occasional use.
The use of rigid pipes with a non-return valve is rec-

ommended for use at a fixed location. This prevents 

return flow of the liquid when switching off.

– Screw pressure line onto the pressure connec-

tion.

– When using a hose, screw the hose adapter onto 

the pressure connection.

– Push the hose firmly onto the hose adapter and 

secure with a hose clamp.

The hose adapter can also be shortened as shown. 

In this case, connection of a hose with union nut 

(DN 32) is possible.

Installation

The appliance needs an area of at least 50 × 50 cm 

(the float switch must be able to move freely so that 

it functions properly).
The appliance can be submerged under water up to 

the submerged operating depth mentioned in the 

technical data.
Install the appliance so that the suction openings 

cannot be blocked by foreign bodies (place the 

appliance on a firm, even base if necessary).
Ensure that the appliance is stable.

Read and observe the operating instruc-

tions before commissioning.

Note: 

In the case of continuous use of the 

pump with the rope, the condition of the 

rope must be checked regularly as it can 

decay and break over time.

NOTICE! Risk of damage to the appli-

ance! 

Only tighten the hose adapter by 

hand during mounting! Overtightening the 

adapter damages the thread.

NOTICE! Risk of damage to the appli-

ance! 

Do not lift the pump with the cable or 

pressure hose as these are not designed for 

the tensile stress from the weight of the 

pump.
