4. Impostazione

1. Disimballaggio: Estrarre con cautela la pompa e tutti gli accessori dalla confezione. Verificare che non vi siano danni durante il trasporto.
2. Giunzione di tubi: Attach the supplied 2-inch Storz C hose connector to the pump's discharge outlet. Secure it firmly to prevent leaks.
3. Hose Deployment: Connect the 50m hose to the Storz C connector. Lay out the hose to the desired discharge location, ensuring it is free of kinks or sharp bends that could restrict flow.
4. Posizionamento: Lower the pump into the water or liquid to be pumped. Ensure the pump is placed on a stable, level surface and is fully submerged. The float switch should be able to move freely.
5. Collegamento elettrico: Plug the pump's power cable into a grounded 230V electrical outlet. Ensure the outlet is protected by a Residual Current Device (RCD) for safety.

5. Istruzioni per l'uso

1. Funzionamento automatico (interruttore a galleggiante):
   • The float switch controls the pump's automatic on/off function.
   • When the water level rises, the float switch will lift, activating the pump.
   • When the water level drops to a certain point, the float switch will lower, deactivating the pump.
   • Ensure the float switch has sufficient space to move freely and is not obstructed.
2. Funzionamento manuale:
   • For continuous operation, the float switch can be secured in an upright position (e.g., by tying it to the pump handle).
   • ATTENZIONE: When operating manually, monitor the water level closely to prevent the pump from running dry, which can cause severe damage.
3. Avvio della pompa: Once connected and placed, the pump will start automatically if the float switch is in the "on" position (or secured for manual operation).
4. Arresto della pompa: In automatic mode, the pump stops when the water level drops. For manual operation or to stop immediately, disconnect the pump from the power supply.

6. Manutenzione

Una manutenzione regolare garantisce la longevità e il funzionamento efficiente della pompa.

• Prima della manutenzione: Always disconnect the pump from the power supply before any inspection or maintenance.
• Pulizia: Dopo ogni utilizzo, soprattutto se si pompa acqua sporca, sciacquare accuratamente la pompa con acqua pulita per rimuovere eventuali detriti o sedimenti.
• Chopping Mechanism Inspection: Periodically inspect the chopping mechanism for any entangled debris (e.g., rags, long fibers) that might hinder its function. Clear any obstructions carefully.
• Controllo dell'interruttore a galleggiante: Ensure the float switch moves freely and is not clogged with debris.
• Ispezione dei cavi: Regularly check the power cable and plug for any signs of damage, cuts, or fraying. Do not use the pump if the cable is damaged.
• Magazzinaggio: Se si conserva la pompa per un periodo prolungato, pulirla accuratamente, scolare tutta l'acqua e conservarla in un luogo asciutto e al riparo dal gelo.
