1. Introduzione
The Pedrollo TOP 2 submersible pump is designed for pumping clear water without abrasive particles. This 0.5 HP, 115 Volt pump is engineered for ease of use and reliable operation, featuring total motor cooling and a double mechanical seal on the shaft for enhanced safety and durability.
It is particularly suitable for emergency draining of small flooded areas such as basements, garages, and fountains, as well as for emptying containers or water tanks, and draining water from dishwashers and washing machines.
2. Informazioni sulla sicurezza
Always prioritize safety when operating electrical equipment, especially with water. Read and understand all instructions before installation and use.
- Collegamento elettrico: Ensure the power supply matches the pump's specifications (115 Volts). Connect the pump to a properly grounded outlet with a residual current device (RCD) for protection against electric shock.
- Qualità dell'acqua: This pump is designed for clear water. Do not use it for pumping flammable liquids, corrosive chemicals, or water containing large abrasive particles.
- Limiti di temperatura: The maximum liquid temperature for continuous operation is +40 °C. For intermittent use, the pump can handle temperatures up to +40 °C for a maximum period of 3 minutes.
- Gestione: Always use the integrated handle for lifting and lowering the pump. Never pull the pump by its power cable or discharge hose.
- Bambini e animali domestici: Tenere i bambini e gli animali domestici lontani dalla pompa e dall'area di funzionamento.
- Manutenzione: Scollegare la pompa dall'alimentazione elettrica prima di effettuare qualsiasi operazione di manutenzione o pulizia.
3. Configurazione e installazione
Un'installazione corretta è fondamentale per le prestazioni e la longevità della pompa.
3.1 Disimballaggio e ispezione
Carefully remove the pump from its packaging. Inspect the pump for any signs of damage during transit. Ensure all components, including the 5-meter power cable and integrated float switch, are present.

3.2 Collegamento del tubo di scarico
Attach a suitable discharge hose to the pump's outlet. Ensure the connection is secure to prevent leaks during operation. The pump is designed to accommodate standard hose sizes.
3.3 Posizionamento della pompa
Place the pump on a stable, flat surface in the area to be drained. Ensure the pump is fully submerged in the water before starting. The maximum immersion depth for the TOP 2 model is 3 meters.

3.4 Regolazione dell'interruttore a galleggiante
The pump features an integrated float switch for automatic start and stop. The float switch activates the pump when the water level rises and deactivates it when the water level drops to a certain point. Ensure the float switch can move freely without obstruction to function correctly.
4. Funzionamento
Once installed, operating the Pedrollo TOP 2 pump is straightforward.
4.1 Avviamento della pompa
After ensuring the pump is correctly positioned and submerged, plug the power cable into a suitable electrical outlet. The integrated float switch will automatically start the pump when the water level reaches the activation point.
4.2 Funzionamento automatico
The float switch will automatically turn the pump on and off based on the water level. This feature is ideal for continuous monitoring and draining of fluctuating water levels. The pump will continue to operate until the water level drops to the minimum emptying level of 14 mm from the bottom.
4.3 Arresto della pompa
To manually stop the pump, simply unplug it from the power outlet. The pump will also stop automatically once the water level falls below the float switch's deactivation point.
5. Manutenzione
Una manutenzione regolare garantisce prestazioni ottimali e prolunga la durata della pompa.
- Pulizia: Periodically clean the pump's exterior to remove any debris or sediment. Ensure the intake area is clear of obstructions.
- Controllo dell'interruttore a galleggiante: Regularly check that the float switch moves freely and is not obstructed by debris.
- Ispezione della girante: If the pump's performance decreases, inspect the impeller for blockages. The pump can handle solid particles up to Ø 10 mm. Larger particles may cause damage or blockages.
- Magazzinaggio: If storing the pump for an extended period, especially in freezing conditions, ensure it is completely drained of water to prevent damage. Store in a dry, protected area.
