1. Safety measures
Carefully read the operating instructions bef ore assembling
and starting. The appliance must not be used by persons
who are not thoroughly acquainted with the instructions
handbook (operating instructions). Children and persons
under the age of 16 cannot use the pump and m ust be
kept well a wa y from the appliance when it is connected.
The user is liab le tow ards third parties in the area where
the appliance is in operation.
While the pump is operating persons m ust
not be in the liquid to be pumped.
The pump may be connected only by
means of a safety switch for fault currents, with
a rated opening current up to 30 mA and a socket
with an earth contact installed in conf ormity with
the regulations.
Protection: at least 10 Amps.
Operation in s wimming pools and garden ponds is
admitted.
For other operation, the provisions in conf ormity with
the standard VDE 0100 part 702 must be respected.
CA UTION: Bef ore chec king, connect the pump and
the system with no volta ge!
Replacing the line connecting up with the mains
requires using special tools and therefore may be
done only by the manuf acturer or its service engineers .
The pump may operate only with a pipe connecting
the appliance (extension) that is no lighter than a
rubber hose mod. H07 RNF in conf ormity with the DIN
57282 or DIN 57245 standard.
(For y our saf ety)
The voltage (230 V olts alternating current) indi-
cated on the pump’ s rating plate m ust correspond
to the av ailable mains v oltage .
Before starting it is necessar y to make sure b y having a
check made by qualified personnel that there are the
necessary electr ical protection measures.
• Ear th connection.
• Ear thed neutral.
• The saf ety s witch f or f ault currents corresponds to the
safety regulations of the electricity board and functions
perfectly .
• Plug connections must be protected from water . If there
is a risk of flooding, plug connections must be placed
somewhere saf e.
• Definitely a void pumping aggressiv e liquids and abr asive
products.
In the e vent of the pump f ailing, repair work ma y only be
carried out by the repair workshops of the technical

par ts;
c) or if the indications and pro visions giv en in the instruc-
tions handbook are not complied with.
The same provisions hold f or the accessories.
Resistance
The maximum temperature of the delivery liquid should
nev er e xceed +35° C in continuous oper ation.
Infiammable, comb ustible or explosive liquids cannot
be con veyed with this pump!
In particular, do not use engine fuels , detergents , or other
chemical products.
2. Use
CA UTION! Sector of use
“DRAINA GE” – To transf er and empty fresh to
slightly polluted water from rainwater barrels and
casks.
“V OR TEX” – Por tab le submersible pump for
discharge and waste water with solids in suspen-
sion.
Also used as emergency pump , in case of ov er-
flowing with muddy water , thanks to its large
suction filter .
To achieve excellent motor cooling the pump
casing is provided with a breather hole that enables
water to flow out.
The pump must be pr otected from running dry .
Starting
First put the pump into water and then
connect the plug.
The pump is ready for use .
3. Before starting
Installation of your canned motor pump is:
• fixed with a fixd pipe , or
• fixed with a fle xible hose.
T ake care
When installing it is necessary to tak e care that the pump
is ne v er fitted hanging from its deliv ery pipe, but is alw a ys
placed in a raised position with respect to the bottom of
�
the well so that the muddy bottom is not suc ked up with
the water .
Nev er handle or hang the pump by gr ipping the power
supply cable .
In pumps with a floating switch, the latter is adjusted in
order to make immediate starting possibile.
Note
The pump well must have minimum dimensions of
40x40x50 cm. so that the floating s witch can mov e freely .
It is also possible to use round, prefabricated concrete
wells with an inner diameter of appro x. 40 cm.
4. Maintenance instructions
Your canned motor pump is a quality product, free from
maintenance. It has been subjected to rigorous final
checks .
Howe v er , for a long service life and continuous operation,
we recommend constant care and regular checks.
• Before e very maintenance job , disconnect the plug.
•For tr anspor tab le use the pump should be washed with
clear water after e v ery use.
•For fix ed installation it is recommended to check the
operation of the floating s witch e very 3 months.
• Using a jet of water, get rid of the fibre and spindly
par ticles that may get deposited in the pump’ s cassing.
• In the e vent of e xcessive deposits in the pump cassing,
dismantle the inlet filter by unscrewing the star scre w .
W ash the pump casing and fit the inlet filter back on.
•Every 3 months remo ve the mud from the bottom and
walls of the well.
• Eliminate the deposits from the floating s witch, w ashing
it with fresh water .
• Protect the pump from frost.
