MAINTENANCE
Before you carry out checking or cleaning tasks on the pump you must switch it
off and remove the plug from the socket.
Your submersible pump is more or less maintenance-free. The only tasks you must
carry out are as follows:
Carry out a regular visual inspection. Make sure the pump is not damaged. Check
the electrical cable, the plug, the float switch and the float cable for damage too. If
you discover damage, you must take the device to your supplier or an accredited
professional. Never attempt to carry out repairs yourself and never open the pump!
Regularly check that the float switch is working effectively, particularly if you have set
the pump to work automatically (every 3 months).
Regularly remove residues from the float with clean water.
Regularly check (by putting your fingers into the suction openings or, after the
removal of the curved fitting, in the outlet opening) whether any dirt (fibres, residues)
has accumulated around the blade. Remove it if this is the case.
Failing that, you proceed as follows:
- Unscrew the four screws in the feet of the bottom plate
- Remove the bottom plate
- Clean the blade with clean water (Note: Do not put down the pump on the blade!)
- Attach the base plate with the four screws.
If you cannot do so, take the pump to your supplier or to an accredited professional
to open the device and remove the residue.
If you regularly use the pump at different locations, you must rinse with clean water
(inside and out) after each use.
Keep the base of the well (or the tile on which the pump is positioned) free from mud
and residue.
Ensure that the pump does not freeze. Before winter sets in, run the pump dry and
store it in a frost-free location.
