3. STARTING THE PUMP
Insert the plug on the power cord in a suitable power socket.
Automatic operation (A):
The integrated float switch starts and stops the pump automatically when the indicator (2) is
positioned on “A” (Fig. A).
Manual operation (M):
To start the pump, lift the knob (3) positioning the indicator (2) on “M” (Fig. A). In these conditions the
suction level of the pump will be down to 2-3 mm.
In order to check the correct working and clean the float switch open the cover (1) positioning the
indicator on “O” (Fig. A-B).
4. RECOMMENDATIONS
To ensure the proper operation of the pump, it is important to comply with the following
recommendations:
• The pump must never be allowed to run dry.
• Never leave the pump in operation when the delivery pipe is clogged
• The pump must only be used when it is immersed in water. If the water runs out, the pump must
be stopped immediately by removing the plug from the power supply.
• Pay careful attention when the pump is operated in manual mode.
• The pump must be placed in a stable position inside a collection pit or in the lowest part of the
place where it is installed.
• The recommended dimensions for the pit are:
- 20 cm x 20 cm
• It is absolutely essential to prevent any risk of the pump freezing. In the event of freezing
temperatures, remove the pump from the liquid, empty it and keep it in a place where it cannot
freeze.
• To avoid the obstruction of the suction side, periodically, it is advisable to make sure that no dirt
(leaves, sand, etc.) has been accumulated in the collection pit.
Overload protection
The pump has a thermal overload safety device. In the event of any overheating of the motor, this
device automatically switches off the pump. The cooling time is roughly 15 to 20 minutes, then the
pump automatically comes on again. If the overload cutout is tripped, it is essential to identify and deal
with the cause of the overheating. See Troubleshooting.
