4. Setup
4.1. Hose Connection
The pump is supplied with a multi-size hose adapter. Select the appropriate diameter for your hose and securely attach it to the pump's outlet.
- Identify the required hose diameter (25mm, 32mm, 38mm, or 47mm).
- If necessary, cut the adapter to the desired diameter using a sharp knife.
- Screw the adapter firmly onto the pump's discharge port.
- Attach your discharge hose to the adapter and secure it with a hose clamp if needed.

4.2. Pump Placement
Place the pump on a stable, flat surface in the water body to be drained. Ensure the pump is fully submerged and not resting on soft sediment that could block the suction inlet. The 10-meter power cable provides flexibility for placement.

5. Operating Modes
The Wiltec 400W Submersible Pump offers two operating modes: Automatic and Continuous.
5.1. Automatic Mode
In Automatic mode, the pump starts and stops based on the water level, controlled by the integrated float switch. The float switch has four adjustable positions to set the desired ON/OFF water levels.
- Connect the float switch cable to the designated slot on the pump.
- Adjust the float switch position to set the desired water levels for activation and deactivation.
- The pump will automatically turn on when the water level rises to the ON position and turn off when it drops to the OFF position.
5.2. Continuous Mode
In Continuous mode, the pump operates constantly as long as it is connected to power. This mode is suitable for situations requiring continuous drainage, but requires supervision to prevent dry running.
- Ensure the float switch is secured in an upward position or bypassed according to the pump's instructions (if applicable) to maintain continuous operation.
- Monitor the pump to prevent it from running dry, which can cause damage.

6. Operation
Once the pump is set up and the desired operating mode is selected:
- Ensure all connections are secure and the pump is correctly positioned.
- Plug the power cable into a suitable 230V power outlet.
- The pump will begin operating according to the selected mode.
- Monitor the pump during operation, especially in continuous mode, to ensure it does not run dry.
- After use, unplug the pump from the power outlet.

7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your pump.
7.1. Cleaning
- Always disconnect the pump from the power supply before cleaning.
- Rinse the pump thoroughly with clean water after each use, especially if pumping dirty water.
- Check the suction inlet for any debris or blockages and remove them carefully.
- Inspect the impeller area for any trapped particles.
7.2. Storage
- Store the pump in a dry, frost-free location when not in use.
- Ensure the pump is clean and dry before storage.
- Avoid storing the pump in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
8. Troubleshooting
Refer to the table below for common issues and their solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pump does not start. | No power supply. Float switch not activated (Automatic mode). Overheat protection activated. | Check power connection. Ensure water level is high enough to activate float switch. Disconnect power, allow pump to cool down for 15-30 minutes. |
| Pump runs but no water is discharged. | Suction inlet blocked. Hose kinked or blocked. Air trapped in pump. | Disconnect power, clear debris from suction inlet. Check and clear discharge hose. Briefly lift and lower the pump to release trapped air. |
| Reduced pumping capacity. | Partial blockage in suction or discharge. Impeller worn or damaged. | Clean suction inlet and discharge hose. Contact customer support for impeller inspection/replacement. |
| Pump stops unexpectedly. | Overheat protection activated. Power interruption. Float switch deactivated (Automatic mode). | Allow pump to cool down. Check power supply. Ensure water level is above the OFF position for continuous operation or adjust float switch. |
