USING THE PUMP

1. Place the pump on a flat surface in the area that you want to drain.

• If there is sediment in the operating area the pump should be

placed on house bricks or similar.

• Ensure the pump is positioned with adequate space so that the

movement of the float switch is not restricted - recommended

minimum area of 40 x 40cm.

• ALWAYS raise and lower the pump using a rope attached to the

lifting handle.

• Take all necessary precautions as described on page 3 before

plugging in and switching ON.

2. Connect the mains plug to a high sensitivity residual current device (RCD)

which has a tripping current of less then 30mA.

3. Switch the mains power supply on.

• The pump incorporates a float switch which automatically switches

the pump ON when the water is above a pre-determined level.

• The pump will begin to drain water.

• As the water level falls, so will the float switch until it stops the pump.

4. Disconnect the pump from the mains power supply when finished.

• These pumps are fitted with automatic thermal overload protection.

If the pump overheats due to an obstruction in the pump or

pumping warm water for example, it will shut off automatically.

Switch the pump OFF and disconnect from the mains supply. Check

for blockages and allow the motor to cool (at least 5 minutes)

before attempting to re-start.

WARNING: CHECK THE PUMP FOR DAMAGE BEFORE USE. DO NOT USE THE

PUMP IF IT IS DAMAGED IN ANY WAY.

WARNING: THE WATER BEING PUMPED WILL BE POLLUTED IF THIS PUMP

BECOMES DAMAGED AND LUBRICANT WITHIN THE PUMP ESCAPES.

WARNING: NEVER CARRY THE PUMP USING THE MAINS POWER CABLE.

DAMAGE TO ELECTRICAL CABLES CAN BE HAZARDOUS. ALWAYS USE THE

HANDLE WHEN MOVING THE PUMP.

CAUTION: DO NOT ALLOW THE PUMP TO RUN DRY
