OVERHEATING SAFEGUARD
Your submersible pump is equipped with an overheating safeguard. This switches
the pump off automatically if the motor gets too hot. Once it has cooled down
sufficiently, the pump will automatically switch on again.
There is always a cause for overheating: the fan may have become jammed, a
bearing may be worn, the pump can run dry etc. and if the cause is not removed, the
device will overheat once again. If this process is repeated too often it may cause
serious damage to your pump. Try to establish what is wrong and resolve the
problem. If the pump needs to be opened up you must take it to your supplier or an
accredited professional.
If there is insufficient supervision of a pump that is functioning automatically, the
pump may break down despite the presence of the overheating safeguard. The user
is always responsible for supervising the device!
MAINTENANCE
Before you carry out checking or cleaning tasks on the pump you must switch
it off by taking 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 whether any dirt (fibres, residues) has accumulated around the
blade. Remove it if this is the case by cleaning the pump with clean water. You
can remove the bottom filter and attempt to remove dirt from the blade with
tweezers.
If you cannot do so, take the pump to your supplier or to an accredited
professional to open the device and remove the residue.
Rinse the pump thoroughly with clean water at least every 3 months.
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.
