Adjusting the Cut-in and Cut-out Height:
The cable length between the float switch
6
and the float switch
lock
7
must always be at least 10cm.
1. Press the cable of the float switch
6
into an opening in the
float switch lock
7
.
Do not select a cable length that is too long or short to ensure
that the float switch can turn on and off properly.
2. Plug the mains plug of the connection cable
5
into a mains
socket.
• The higher the opening of the float switch lock
7
, the higher
the cut-in and cut-out height.
• The shorter the length of cable between the float switch
6
and the float switch lock
7
, the lower the cut-in height and the
higher the cut-out height.
The pump remains in constant operation when the float switch is
attached facing upwards so that the cable is pointing downwards.
v Attach the float switch
6
to the top so that the cable points
downward.
5. Putting into Storage
v Store the pump away from frost before the first frost sets in.
The product must not be added to normal household waste.
It must be disposed of in line with local environmental regulations.
Disposal:
(in accordance with
RL2002/96/EC)
The storage location must not be accessible to children.
Frost-free storage:
The residual water height of approx. 25mm is only reached
during manual operation since the float switch turns off
the pump during automatic operation before this water level
is reached.
Manual operation:

The float switch
6
turns the pump on automatically when the
water level exceeds the cut-in height and the water is pumped
out. The float switch
6
turns the pump off again as soon as
the water level falls below the cut-out height.
v During automatic operation, ensure that the float
switch
6
can move freely.
