4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Starting the Pump

1. Ensure the pump is correctly positioned and fully submerged in water.
2. Verify that the discharge hose is securely attached and directed to a suitable drainage area.
3. Plug the pump into a grounded electrical outlet (230V).
4. The pump will start automatically once the water level rises sufficiently to activate the float switch.

4.2 Float Switch Operation

The integrated float switch controls the pump's automatic on/off function based on water level. When the water level rises, the float switch lifts, activating the pump. As the water level drops, the float switch lowers, and the pump will automatically switch off when the water reaches a predetermined low level.
