Following these safety warnings carefully can prevent personal injury and/or material damage.

Special instructions for greater ease of understanding and improved handling.

Function Drain 10000 INOX / 15000 INOX / DRAIN 20000 HD

The immersion pump draws the conveying medium through the suction slots directly and feeds it to the pump outlet. It is switched on and off using a float switch. In order to operate properly, the immersion pump must be vented at the venting facility.

Inox stainless steel
Units marked with the designation “INOX” are supplied in stainless steel. The structure and function are unaffected by this.

Designated use
The immersion pump is designed for private use in the house and garden. It must only be operated within the framework of the deployment limitations in accordance with the technical data.

The immersion pump is suitable for:

• Water removal in the event of a flood
• Re-pumping and pumping out from vessesl
• Water removal from streams and shafts
• Water removal from drains and trickle shafts.

The immersion pump is only suitable for conveying the following fluids:

• Clear water, rainwater
• Chlorine-containing water
• Waste water
• Dirty water having a max. suspended matter proportion of 5 % and a grain size of max. 30 mm* diameter.

Any use not in accordance with this designated use shall be regarded as misuse.
* 38 mm Drain 20000 HD

Possible misuse

The immersion pump must not be used continuously. They are not suitable for conveying:

• Drinking water
• Salt water
• Foodstuffs
• Aggressive media, chemicals
• Corrosive, flammable, explosive or fuming fluids
• Fluids that are hotter than 35 °C
• Water containing sand and abrasive fluids

SCOPE OF DELIVERY

Thermal protection
The unit is fitted with a thermal protection switch which switches the motor off in the event of overheating. The pump switches on again automatically after a cooling down period of approx. 15 – 20 minutes.
Operate the unit only if the immersion pump is fully immersed.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION!
Risk of injury!
Use the machine and the extension cable only in perfect working order. Damaged equipment may not be operated.
Do not disable safety and protective devices!

• Children, or people who are not familiar with the operating instructions, are not allowed to use the machine.
• Never lift, transport or suspend the unit using the connection cable.
• Unilateral modifications or conversions of the unit are prohibited.

Electrical safety

CAUTION!
Danger when touching voltage conducting parts!
Disconnect the plug from the mains if the extension cable is damaged or severed! We recommend connecting a RCD (residual current operated device) having a nominal residual current of < 30 mA.

• The pump may not be operated while people are in the pool or pond.
• The house mains voltage must agree with the details quoted in the technical data, do not use any other supply voltage.
• The unit must only be operated with an electrical installation in accordance with DIN/ VDE 0100, Part 737, 738 and 702. Protection must be provided by a 10 A line protection switch and a RCCD (residual current operated device) having a nominal residual current of 10/30 mA.
• Use only extension cables that are suitable for use outdoors – minimum cross-section 1.5 mm². Cable drums should always be unrolled completely.
• Damaged or brittle extension cables must not be used.

Check the condition of your extension cable each time you start to use the equipment.

ASSEMBLY

Mounting the pressure line
see Fig. A,D and G

1. Screw the connection elbow (7) into the pump outlet.
2. Screw the combination nipple (8) into the connection elbow.
3. Fix a hose to the combination nipple.

The combination nipple can be trimmed to suit the selected hose connection. Use the largest possible hose diameter.

STARTUP

Safety

CAUTION!
Exclude, by suitable means, that, in the event of a fault in the immersion pump, consequential damage is caused by flooding.

• Make sure that the immersion pump is standing securely or operate the immersion pump suspended from a rope.
• Make sure there is adequate clearance under the pump.
• Never allow the immersion pump to run against a closed off pressure line.
• When using in shafts, make sure the size is adequate.
• Always cover the shaft with a secure footplate.

Switching the pump on
see Fig. A – H

CAUTION!
The immersion pump must not draw in any solid bodies. Sand and other abrasive materials in the conveying medium will destroy the immersion pump.

1. Unwind the connection cable (1) completely.
2. Make sure that the electrical plug connection is mounted in the area safe from flooding.
3. Change the terminal position and adjust the switching points of the float switch (5) individually.
4. Attach the cable on the float switch to the pump housing (4) securely.

  Recommended cable length on the float switch approx. 120 mm

Use a suitable plate to ensure secure mounting of the immersion pump on muddy, sandy or stony ground.

5. Immerse the immersion pump in the conveying medium slowly. Hold the immersion pump at a slight angle to allow any air to esacape.
6. Vent the immersion pump DRAIN 10000 INOX/15000 INOX/DRAIN 20000 HD at the venting unit (Fig. D -9/ G-9).
7. Insert the mains plug into the plug socket.

  The immersion pump switches on automatically using the float switch when a specific water level has been reached, and switches off again if the water drops below the switch-off height.

Switching the pump off

1. Remove the mains plug from the plug socket.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE

• Disconnect the machine from the mains power supply before commencing assembly and maintenance work.

Cleaning the pump

After conveying chlorine-containing swimming pool water or fluids that leave a residue, the pump must be flushed out with clear water.

1. Clean the suction slots on the suction foot if necessary with clear water.

STORAGE

In the event of a risk of frost, the system must be drained completely.

DISPOSAL

Do not dispose of worn-out machines or spent batteries (including rechargeable batteries) in domestic waste!
The packaging, machine and accessories are made from recyclable materials and must be disposed of accordingly.

HELP IN CASE OF MALFUNCTIONS

CAUTION!
Disconnect the mains plug before any fault rectification work! Faults in the electrical system must be rectified by a qualified electrician.

If the faults cannot be rectified, please contact our customer service department.
