5. Setup
5.1. Hose Connection
Connect a suitable discharge hose to the pump's water outlet. The pump comes with a multi-size hose connector to accommodate different hose diameters.
- Identify the appropriate diameter on the hose connector for your discharge hose.
- If necessary, cut the connector to the desired size using a sharp knife.
- Securely attach the hose to the connector and fasten it with a hose clamp (not included) to prevent leaks.
- Screw the assembled connector onto the pump's water outlet.

5.2. Pump Placement
- Place the pump on a stable, flat surface in the water to be drained.
- Ensure the pump is fully submerged before starting operation.
- Verify that the float switch can move freely and is not obstructed by walls or other objects. The float switch determines the automatic on/off function of the pump.
- Position the discharge hose so that the water is directed away from the area to be drained and does not flow back.
6. Operation
6.1. Starting the Pump
- After connecting the hose and placing the pump, plug the power cable into a suitable 230V grounded outlet with RCD protection.
- The pump will start automatically once the water level rises sufficiently to lift the float switch.
- The pump will continue to operate until the water level drops, causing the float switch to fall and turn off the pump.
