Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the pump from its packaging. Inspect for any damage.
2. Hose Connection: Attach a suitable discharge hose (38.1 mm connection) to the pump's outlet. Ensure a secure, leak-free connection.
3. Placement: Position the pump on a stable, flat surface in the water source. Ensure it is fully submerged if required for operation, or placed at the desired water level.
4. Float Switch Adjustment: Adjust the float switch cable length to control the automatic on/off levels of the pump. A longer cable allows the pump to start at a higher water level and stop at a lower level.
5. Power Connection: Connect the pump to a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the voltage matches the pump's requirements.

Operating Instructions

1. Automatic Operation: Once connected to power and submerged, the pump will automatically start when the water level rises and activates the float switch. It will stop when the water level drops and the float switch deactivates.
2. Manual Operation: Refer to specific product markings or additional documentation if your model supports manual override of the float switch.
3. Monitoring: Periodically check the pump's operation and the discharge flow to ensure efficient drainage.
4. Particle Handling: The pump is capable of handling particles up to 35 mm. Avoid pumping larger debris to prevent clogging or damage.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your pump.

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the pump's intake screen to remove any accumulated debris. Disconnect power before cleaning.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the power cord and plug for any signs of damage. Check hose connections for leaks.
• Storage: If storing the pump for an extended period, clean it thoroughly, drain all water, and store in a dry, frost-free location.
